That hotel is the worst Sheraton in the world (I’m not even kidding about that). I’m surprised Starwood hasn’t forced them to clean up their act; it was disgusting and broken when I was staying there 6 years ago and from what I’ve heard, it’s only gotten worse.

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at of late. Should be a Motel 6 and not an SPG category 5. Booked 2 nights with points recently. Checked in and had to leave the next day. Popcorn ceiling falling apart, smelly hallways and the lounge ran out of breakfast. Complained to the platinum desk but got nothing! Terrible!

The gym at lm is massive- you have access to the facility adjoined to the hotel. Two levels, dozens of machines. How do you not like it?

I actually don’t like that LM! I’m on a philly engagement right now and the gym there is awful!

Ohhhh- I’ve never been to the facility adjoined to the hotel! I only knew about that small workout room on like the 4th floor! This could be a game changer

Looking at the Ritz now... we don’t have great rates with them honestly. I’m looking at mid 300’s. Partner probly wouldn’t say anything but feels weird knowing the LM is like half the cost. Are you guys getting better rates?

Downtown? I wouldn’t stay there so many problems, break ins, thefts etc society hill just has wedding riots

I stayed there around one year ago, election night. The hotel was rented out to host a Clinton celebration party. Mood was pretty bleak and hotel made tons of money selling alcohol.

I'm getting $200/night at the Ritz, not sure if it's our rate or a project rate. Email Farheen.Raza@ritzcarlton.com if you want to see about a project rate. FWIW, although we have plenty of hot water the gym is very meh.

The gym next to the LM actually closed, so unfortunately that benefit no longer exists. If you're NYC-based and are often in Philly, look into a NYSC membership which allows access to the PSC gyms.

I thought people were joking about that hotel but I was only in town for a night so I didn’t really care. OMFG. I’ve stayed in random places on the side of the highway that are nicer. Absolutely revolting. The smell alone made me want to vomit. The carpet...the bedding...I can’t
