We checked in later as we were only staying because my grandson had an apt at CHOP and they were close by. The front desk girl was young, could not give us proper directions on how to park. You must go down the street, circle around, and use a garbage. She DID NOT tell us none of the elevators from the garage to get to the hotel were working but per security she knew. We had to walk down 3 ramps in the garage to get to the hotel with an infant, luggage, at 12:30-1am. When we got to the entrance from the garage to the hotel, the entrance was not open. It was my daughter, myself, and an infant with luggage and baby needs and I was not walking out and down the street to get to the entrance. I banged on the door and the very unfriendly security man who smelled like weed did let us in but NO ONE offered any assistance or help at all. When I asked if they knew the elevators were not functioning he said YA. I said did the front desk girl know- he said YA. Not Im sorry- not may I help or get you some assistance ....NOTHING. The hotel floor 10 was DIRTY. It's old, the hall had spilled liquid all over the middle of the halls- rooms were old and gross. Don't stay here

The location is great. Many restaurants to choose from and the access to Drexel and U Penn is perfect. The hotel will hopefully go thru a renovation soon and the amenities will be available

This Sheraton is a great place to stay if you're visiting UPenn or surrounding businesses. If you pay for overnight parking, it is good till 6 pm, including day you check out. No stars taken off but a couple of things -- need stir sticks for coffee kits in the room. -- Saw new charge for more than 2 occupants. Small, but c'mon!

Immaculate hotel. Spotless rooms. Beds and pillows were one of the best I’ve ever slept on. Super nice and professional front desk staff. Gorgeous city view from the 11th floor. They offer garage parking right at the hotel but keep in mind that it is $35 per night to park there as a guest. Parking is not free. We stayed at this hotel for a concert at The Mann and it was an easy 15 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!

My daughter was hospitalized and they refused to cancel my reservation. I ask for a credit towards another date. They refuse. I asked to speak to a manager she wouldn't respond nor give me a manager name. Her name was brenda, she was very uncaring. Her assistant Ty was very nice and said try to get something from Brendan. She was not helpful at all and my daughter was in the hospital.I'll be going to my credit card company and posting this revi
