Philadephia city center is not the best area to stay. If you are going to see the historic part of philly, stay in the historic district.

This hotel a Sheraton needs what most Sheratons need and that is to be renovated from the ground up. Service was great and the people awesome.

This is an okay hotel. The rooms seem a bit small and dark but it is easily accessed off the freeway which means if you are driving you don't have to negotiate the one ways in the city center. It is not in the middle of downtown, but if you are traveling in the summer it is a pleasant walk downtown....
