I stayed at this hotel for one night. When I checked in, the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and, for the most part, looked recently renovated. The wireless internet worked without a problem. I was on the 14th floor and did hear some street noise throughout the night but it may... more

I had been to the University City Sheraton a while back, probably 4-5 years ago. What a difference time makes! The Hotel feels modern and current. Even the neighborhood seems different, with tons more shops and restaurants than I remember. The room was very nice, had free internet access and a large flat screen TV. The cleaning ladies were great... more

LOVED this hotel--they provided a free computer in the room. I was able to print out my seminar presentation for free! Internet is free. Rooms were just renovated. Nice, clean, crisp look. From my understanding they are putting in a state of the art fitness center and the link? of Sheraton. Never experienced the link. Sounds like great stuff being... more

I didn't have a choice on staying here, but let me tell you the pictures are very inaccurate. I'm here right now as I type on the provided internet which is great...but instead of spending money on this amenitity perhaps they could put more money towards housekeeping. The carpet has not been vaccuumed, trash not picked up in corners or... more

The first night we were to stay at this hotel we were irritated because they overbooked and sent us over to the Penn Tower Sheraton (which was pretty bad, but we can't complain too much given they did not charge us). However, they redeemed themselves when we came back a week later for the end of our trip and actually... more

Stayed for a weekend getaway. Enjoyed everything. Nice place (stayed on 17th floor which is Starwood preferred room, I think). Had a nice city view and a nice LCD high def TV. Breakfast was included in our package and it was a full breakfast from a menu. Close enough to walk to nice restaurants. Parking was an added $20 per... more

Stayed here for one night. It is close to the 30th St. Philadelphia train station ( which has Rental Car companies located right in the station - hop off the Amtrak train and into your rental car). Hotel is right across from a Chinese restaurant, Pizza place and a WaWa food store - decent for a cheap lunch , snack... more

If you want to stay downtown, this is the place. I was there on my business and had to be all over the area, and everything was on walking distance or public transportation was right there . The Lobby area was very nice and the desk staff polite. Customer service is just great! People are very friendly. They know how... more

This hotel is a bargain option for "full service" lodging in shooting distance to downtown Philly, and very well located for Penn, Drexel or the Philly Zoo. The common-area and dining-room vibe is very Holiday Inn. The rooms are spacious but nothing special. A particular annoyance for late spring -- the hotel has a big business in proms! Those prom... more

I booked this through hotwire and got a relatively good deal, especially with last minute booking on hotwire <$100. I've stayed here before and it was really good and I loved the area. Some things to note on your trip here: 1) This is a college area, so If you're a older couple, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for you.... more
