In town for business. I am a Marriott gal all the way but for what I do it is easier to stay wherever an event is taking place. So I ended up at this Sheraton. My experience thus far is that Sheratons are a hit or miss. There is no consistency in the brand from city to city so I never know what I am going to get. For instance, in Phoenix the Sheraton is very very nice, Atlanta not so much and now Philly is along the same line as Atlanta. Not good.
Upon arrival via an UBER vehicle I saw an employee standing out front but he never directed me inside or even acknowledged that I had luggage and could be checking in. Luckily I've done this a time or two so I found my way to the check in. The lady who checked me in was really nice. Although she had my reservation wrong. I actually had booked a king bed on a high floor. She was able to get me a king bed room but on the 8th floor. I wish I'd paid attention as I like to be on a high floor and possibly could have had a better view.
After successfully checking in I head to the elevators to the 8th floor. Now seems like a good time to mention that the lobby was very bright and open. I step off the elevator on the 8th floor and it is rather dark, rundown, and in need of repairs. There's some sort of panels on the wall that look like they have been repainted over in a bad way. The dark blue carpet doesn't had to the situation. I get to my room (815) and there isn't anything that makes it feel inviting. The floor has some lumps in it as does the comforter. The panel in the bathroom is worn out and rusted as is part of the ceiling in the bathroom. Now that the sun has gone down I wish the lighting from the lamps was brighter.
Seeing as how it is 40 degrees in town and I just left 75 degree weather I decided to stay in for dinner. I checked out the lobby lounge bar called Local. I ordered some chicken nachos and the pretzels. Both were actually pretty good and had some spice to it which I didn't mind.
So the beds are okay. For some reason, I did not sleep well. I didn't like the pillows as they are too soft for me. I prefer my pillows to be on the firmer side.

The rest of my stay was pretty uneventful and I am happy to be back home.
