Frommer's Review

This concrete block of a Sheraton, midway between Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, has long served parents of nearby students. Although it's not a spot you'd want to while away the hours, luxuriating in a tub, ordering up bottles of champagne, it does have comfortable beds and oversize business desks with ergonomic chairs (better to serve visitors who go across the street to take medical boards). One block from the subway, and 4 from the Amtrak station and three University City hospitals, it's all about convenience. On the Chestnut Street side of the building are a heated outdoor pool and sun deck. Skip the restaurants: There are plenty of better places to dine in the neighborhood.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; heated outdoor pool; fitness center; Enterprise car rental adjacent to the hotel; dry cleaning, wireless Internet in lobby

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
