*****

Everything about this hotel was awesome! I had a great view in my room. The location was perfect and I will stay there again. The reason for my trip was to take my daughter to the Jonas Brothers Concert at the Wachovia Center. The only thing that was missing in the room was a refrigerator and I was expecting to have a refrigerator in the room; since I always travel with a cooler, but other than that I enjoyed my stay at the SheratonPhiladelphia City CenterHotel.It was awesome!!!

The location is excellent. That

The location is excellent. That is the only good thing I can tell you about the hotel. If you get a room facing the parkway then you will get your money's worth. The service is horrible though. The front desk is slow and not professional in any sense. We were made to wait 3 hours beyond the check in time to get our room. The room looks good from the outside but once you are in you know that it is an old hotel. The elevators have a weird jerky motion which will make you queasy at times. If you get this hotel for a reasonable rate, then I recommend it. Else there are some great hotels on the parkway like the [other hotels] with some lovely views and wonderful service.
