Our teenage daughters are interested in attending the University of Pennsylvania, so we stayed at this hotel while visiting the school. The location is perfect - right next to campus, just a two minute walk from the main quads. There are many excellent restaurants and interesting shops in the neighborhood, and lots of campus security/city police so it felt very... more

I stayed here 3 nights for a conference. The location is extremely convenient if you have business at the university. The covered parking garage is wonderful although it cost an extra $20 per day/night. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. My room was plenty big and the bed out of this world! I've never had a better night's... more

I needed a hotel close to campus on last-minute notice (I had an on-campus interview), and this was the best combination of price and location. It is literally a couple of blocks from campus and right next to several trolley and bus lines. It is a 6-block walk from the Amtrak station (FYI the website of the hotel says it's... more

I stayed here with my dog during one of the snow storms. The hotel did an excellant job of keeping the sidewalk clear. They were in the middle of renovating the lobby, which had a fireplace and several nice seating areas. There were computers and a TV with a seating area. It was nice they let my 80 lb dog... more

It's conveniently located between UPenn and Drexel campus’ so it is definitely a safe area. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area to choose from and center city is only a short cab ride away (Sheraton has a taxi stand right outside the hotel for you). The rooms are nice, they were clean and the beds were... more

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family for a wedding that was held at the hotel. We made a road trip out of it and stayed at a couple of Hampton Inn's along the way. The Hampton Inns were far superior to this hotel in service, value, cleanliness, and being updated. The front desk staff was mostly apathetic.... more

My husband and I stayed here and had a very nice stay. The rooms are just average but the hotel is very clean and the staff is friendly. This isn't a 5 star hotel but it is a very clean nice 4 star hotel. more

this is a good basic hotel. I really liked the computer with wifi in the room. It was not the most luxurious of places, but my room was not dirty like other reviewers. The front desk staff was extremely polite. I didn't go to the restaurant, fitness room or pool or use room service. more

I traveled to Philly to visit the Upenn Dental School. The hotel was within walking distance to Upenn central campus. The cabs are also available right outside the main lobby. The room was old but relatively clean. The bathroom was outdated with stains on the sinks and toilet that looked pretty gross. The chek in was easy and the service... more
