Great stay for the money

I probably got a better than average rate, but my stay was great. The only improvement would be FREE wireless internet, but other than that, everything was fine. I was even able to check in around 10:30am.

Great Place to Stay and see the City

The Sheraton location was perfect for our quick trip to Philadelphia. We visited the Art Museum right down the street and grabbed a cab ride to the Kimmell Center for a concert. the hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Beautifully decorated

The Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Philadelphia was very comfortable, tastefully decorated and the rooms were very clean. Within walking distance of museums, art galleries and Chinatown. We had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit Philadelphia.

User Friendly Hotel

The Sheraton center city hotel is very user friendly for events in the center city area. The onsite parking was great, I parked my car at 1:00 pm on Saturday and didn't move it again until 3:00 pm on Sunday for $25.00, in Philadelphia that's a deal. I stayed on the 15th floor and the maid and staff were very friendly and helpful. The view was nice. Checking in and out were a breeze, and everyone seemed very nice and helpful. I was in town for a running event and also brought my bicycle and had no problem bringing it in and out of the hotel when I went for rides. restaurants, shows, running convention, and starting line were all within easy walking distance. I will stay here again the next time I am in Philly.
