The Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel is located in a fairly decent part of Philly. This hotel offers access to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Drexel University College of Medicine, City Center, and the Broadstreet Line all within walking distance. The staff within the hotel reflect the general attitude of the city, where interactions with them could be friendly or quite cold. As with most hotels in the city I would advise staying away from the food and beverage services inside the hotel, as they are quite expensive. For example, I believe a $17 omelette is a bit over priced. When checking into the room be sure to arrive a few hours after check-in time, as the rooms are apparently never ready by 3:00PM. I was lucky enough to have my room changed to a double from a king, so that I could check in at 3:45 otherwise I would have had to wait "until about 6:00 PM." As for the rooms they are not too bad. The beds are somewhat comfortable, although their useful life has been realized a few years ago. The carpet within the room has apparently seen a lot of traffic and appears to be stained in the high traffic areas. The bathroom was clean and stocked with the standard mico soap, shampoo, and conditioner. My only major complaint is mostly that the single pane windows let in all the noise of the city all night long, which is mostly sirens, traffic noises, and the car horns people around here love to blow. I should also state that these noises never stop, did I mention the proximity to the hospital. If you are a light sleeper or looking for a hotel with good upkeep I would advise staying elsewhere.
