    No specifics. It’s fine.

    Placement is great. Friendly staff. It is a 3 star as they don’t have any additional utensils like spoons, plates, bowls or cups etc

    Pricing was a bit high by my first estimates, but I was eventually upgraded so the overall price was just about right, I thought!

    Excellent location, nice rooms.

    Bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly on some days (eg still had some strands of hair on the floor), otherwise satisfactory.

    Great location. Very convenient for access to hospital, public transport, restaurants. Counter staff were all very helpful eg helping to collect Amazon parcel. Heating in room was easy to adjust and worked well

    Breakfast may be included in deal .

    Great location within the university. Safe surroundings. Entry is the lift needs key. Aesthetically, a good place. Clean rooms , bed etc., and good staff. It has a coffee maker in the room. For comb, tooth paste etc., one needed to ask front desk. which is unusual to me. I booked through Booking.com and it gave a discounted rate.

    The elevators have been consistently out of service for years now. You have to line up in the lobby when it’s busy to get to your room. The parking is also expensive—$35/night

    Close location to CHOP.

    Extra charges, like parking and breakfast, when cost was already high.

    Overall, helpful staff, clean, comfortable. Good location to UPenn campus. Checkout at 12 pm. instead of 11. Able to leave car in garage until 6 pm.

    Great service by staff at a hotel next door to U. Penn and Drexel

    I have no complaints regarding the facility or the staff. The front desk staff and the cleaning staff were extremely nice. I have no complaints, but I thought the room was a little expensive (about $200 a night, plus taxes). However, you do get what you pay for and this was not Motel 6 or the Red Roof Inn.

    The hotel is a short distance from Philadelphia's Union Station, the rail station for Amtrak and the local rail system, SEPTA. The room was clean, spacious, and had good ventilation. The bedding was clean, and the cleaning staff was extremely courteous and polite. One of the cleaning ladies, an African American woman, gave me extra washcloths. She was very gracious and made me feel welcomed. The hotel is literally near the campus of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel, so it was fun to walk through the campuses. The U. Penn bookstore is a block from the hotel, as is the SEPTA trolley.

    It would be nice if the price of the room were a little lower.

    I thought all of the staff were very polite. The breakfast room was overcrowded on Sunday, May 29th. It was standing room only. I was very impressed with the poise and professionalism of Myia, who was the only person assigned to manage the breakfast room. Miya took a leadership position to request that upon completing our breakfast we bring our plates and silverware up to the area by the back room. This facilitated quick cleaning of the items so that other guests could use them to obtain and eat their breakfast. On Monday morning, May 30th, there were only 2-3 people in the breakfast room. Miya was working the front desk in the lobby. She explained that the hotel assigns her to different positions for the experience. Very good! I hope management training is in her future with Sheraton Hotels.
