This Sheraton is a great place to stay if you're visiting UPenn or surrounding businesses. If you pay for overnight parking, it is good till 6 pm, including day you check out.
No stars taken off but a couple of things -- need stir sticks for coffee kits in the room.
-- Saw new charge for more than 2 occupants. Small, but c'mon!

Immaculate hotel. Spotless rooms. Beds and pillows were one of the best I’ve ever slept on. Super nice and professional front desk staff. Gorgeous city view from the 11th floor. They offer garage parking right at the hotel but keep in mind that it is $35 per night to park there as a guest. Parking is not free. We stayed at this hotel for a concert at The Mann and it was an easy 15 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!
