Nice visit to the city
It was a fine visit. Staff could have been more friendly and maid service was a bit eager to have us out when it was only 10 in the morning and checkout was not until noon!!

Good last minute weekend getaway
The hotel was average. The location was decent, the room was standard, and the staff was friendly. I did like the free Internet and wifi though.

Decent stay
Staff was very helpful with directions, recommendations for restaurants, etc. Overall a very nice place and a great locations - easy to get to train, trolley, bus, etc. We didn't realize that we would have to pay for parking ($20/night) - that wasn't on the website! Double beds were VERY uncomfortable for two people - sloping down in the center and we felt that we were sleeping on a hill. We each had to sleep in our own bed.

24 hours of fun
I came to Philadelphia to watch the Mets play the Phillies and at the same time, give my son a taste of one of the oldest cities in the country. I chose the Sheraton Philadelphia Univ. City Hotel because of its location (1 block from the subway), proximty to a small number of specialty bar/restauants, & general store. I especially chose this particular hotel because it would impress my 12yr old with a outdoor pool, indoor fitness center, HD TV and internet access. We are coming back because it most over all is affordable. Dad likes that most. Hey, I'm easy to please, heh heh heh !

Shopping tip:
Short drive from hotel
Take the train for a few stops and get off at City Hall. Walk to Chestnut Street and proceed to walk back to the hotel. It is one way to enjoy a few hours away from sight seeing and instead get some shopping done and a bite to eat.

Good location for UPENN
The staff could've been a little nicer, but the location was about as close to Wharton (where I was visiting) as you can get.

Convenient
The hotel is under renovation. Does not have a front lobby access by car. Their internet access via their roon PC is very, very slow. They do not give you any Penuts with the drinks at the bar. They charge $20 per day for parking snd did not see any body around to help you with the suitcases. A little dissappointing for a Sheraton and its was not cheap.
