Sheraton University City

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 in which 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 restaurant: There are plenty of better places to dine in the neighborhood.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; fitness center; heated outdoor pool; Wi-Fi in lobby
