Assuming we're talking Center City. Avoid the Sheraton and Sheraton University City. Westin, JW or Le Méridien are fine. JW's lobby is fantastic and the scene is pretty good. Marriott Downtown is so-so. Haven't stayed at the Courtyard or Residence by city hall or The Franklin (relatively new property at least to the Marriott chain) yet.

Marriott downtown is good

Courtyard Marriott is quite nice. Better than the typical courtyard

Le Meriden!
