Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not a bad place if you have business near UPenn. Clean, large rooms with a nice lobby. The only bad thing is the parking garage. Really old and dirty. Also, there are numerous support columns that made it tricky and tight to make turns (and I had a 4 door sedan - can't imagine a med / large SUV.). There was also no realy place for breakfast in the hotel but several options with a couple of blocks.

I had an excellent experience with this hotel and its staff. They let me check in early after coming from a 8 hour drive. The staff were so nice, welcoming and accommodating. They didn't have to let me check in early or let me keep my car parked after checkout because I would be out to attend a sports event. Their service went above and beyond, and would gladly stay at another Sheraton anywhere else in the world if possible.
