I did get there early .My room was ready but they wanted to charge me fifty dollars to go in early. The shower had 0 water pressure. Elevators were very slow. We ordered a room for 3, and they never made up the couch bed or put the sheets on none of pillows. We had to ask for them. Tv and the living room did not turn. It was a nice sized room, comfortable.

proximity to Penn Presbyterian and Scheie Eye

We were staying at this Homewood Suites for surgery at Penn Presbyterian. The staff is attentive and helpful. The complimentary breakfast buffet is generous. We found it easy to go back and forth to the hospital even in bad weather as the entrance and drop off to the hotel is completely covered and there is a small garden in front of the hotel. This is an excellent option for travellors who want to stay at the upper end of University City. The neighborhood is safe as long as one stays on the blocks which are part of the Medical Center campus.

Great place to stay!

We had a great stay. The rooms were amazing. The mattress was wonderful! I slept all night without waking up. The only bad thing is the parking. Its street, which was almost impossible. Or the valet service at $45 a day.
