Even had a security guard sitting in the hallway on my floor to keep things quiet.

Of course, staying at those really bad Sheratons really do make me think about IHG inconsistencies. IHG has really gotten better the last few years and I think Sheraton is going the other way.
There was also a Sheraton Newark Airport. I stayed there also; MUCH nicer property. It's now a DoubleTree. Off the beaten path; you've got to follow driving directions closely.

The 4 Pts/now Crowne Plaza is very close to the airport; essentially across the street. I haven't stayed there since it converted to a Crowne Plaza.

I've been off/on with SPG since 2000 and I think the current consistency with SPGs is much better than it used to be. Others may have a different opinion.
