Frommer's Review
The city's biggest Sheraton (formerly the Wyndham at Franklin Plaza) feels like a cross between a business convention and a cruise ship. The hotel, which has been functioning as a meeting center since 1980, dominates a city block and is dominated by conventioneers. Lobby, lounge, and steakhouse reside beneath an impressive 70-foot glass roof. Request a westward-facing room above the 19th floor and you'll have an unobstructed view down the Parkway, but be forewarned that the cathedral bells below ring at 7am, noon, and 6pm daily. Unfortunately, the hotel is in need of updating; they might want to begin by offering free Internet.
Facilities:
Shula's Steak House; indoor pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; limited room service; racquetball courts; squash courts; handball courts; wireless Internet in lobby
