Nice 3-night business stay
Pros: easy check-in/out, good location, comfy bed, daily room makeup, quiet room Cons: A lot of humidity and general dirt spots all over the wallpaper, huge humidity spots with decaying materials on the ceiling; lighting was not great (outdated), charging outlets did not work, shower-tub was not draining properly (didn't have time to report, though) In summary, it was a nice business stay, but the general maintenance needs attention. There should be a better-planned pick-up curb for Uber, it sometimes feels dangerous to get into the cars in such a busy street.

My only negative was how gross the carpet felt. I took a shower one evening and the next morning when I went to take my morning shower, when I stepped in the tub, black was coming off my feet. I had ONLY walked in my room after getting out of the shower. So gross! The carpets need to be cleaned.

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.

Horrible, ignorant and uncourteaous staff! I've stayed at Sheraton properties globally and this is by far the worst experience I've had. The staff are rude and do not want to help. Would never stay here ever and would highly recommend choosing other properties in the neighbourhood.
