The
Sheraton Suites Philadelphia Airport Hotel is conveniently located about a mile
from the airport and does offer complimentary shuttle service to and from the
airport. Their shuttle drivers appear to
make a race out of each run though, seeing who can post the fastest time of the
day. In a way, you feel like you are
part of the arcade game, Crazy Cabbie. Luckily,
I arrived at the hotel in one piece.
Upon
check-in, the front desk agent could not find my reservation. After showing her my confirmation, she did finally
found my reservation. She remained
silent throughout the whole check-in process and just handed me my keys, did
not explain any features of the hotel, she did not recognize my SPG Gold Status
in which my primary goal for this stay was the late check-out since I had
arrived on a red eye flight. I had to
inquire about all benefits of the SPG program.
View of Atrium |
The
hotel appears to have been an Embassy Suites at one point since it does have a
large atrium open feel and look.
Being
an all-suites hotel, one knows what type of room to expect.
Living Room |
Desk/TV |
There
is a large desk, TV and most importantly two complimentary bottles of water.
Coffee Maker |
Refrigerator |
There
is a small wet bar area with coffee maker and refrigerator.
Between
the living room and bedroom, the bathroom is located to the left.
Bathroom |
Sink |
There
is a single sink with ample counter space.
Shower/Tub Combo |
There
is a shower/tub combo with horrible water pressure and water temperature was
not consistent when taking a shower.
Dresser/TV & Sitting Area |
The
bedroom is on the smaller side, with a large dresser/TV taking up much of the
room. There
is a single chair in the corner.
Bed |
The
bed was not very comfortable, and the linens were a polyester blend which was
very scratchy and got extremely hot.
There are not many outlets in the bedroom and moving the night stands in
order to get to an outlet was necessary.
The air
conditioner did not seem to be working properly, as the room never got very
cool.
I had
a very indifferent stay at this property.
I would probably not stay here again in the future if in the area. The saving grace was that I was able to file a
successful Best Rate Guarantee claim which netted an extra 2,000 Starpoints.
