Absolutely splendid!

Wonderful! The linens were soft and fresh, the room smelled clean and we had a perfect view of the city! They accomodated our request to stay on the top floor, which was amazing. We were within walking distance of Station Square, The Strip District and the original Primanti Brothers restaurant. If the room would have had a fridge, I would have zero complaints!

Take a walk (about 2 miles) or have your hotel shuttle you to Station Square -- restaurants, shopping, entertainment... not to mention a beautiful boardwalk to take pictures of yourself and scenery!

Elegant

We were in town for our anniversary, so we wanted something quiet and relaxing. The room was very nice and clean, exactly as pictured and we felt very comfortable. We had a great view of the city. We did have a couple of issues, mainly out of control of the hotel. Our neighbors were quite noisy, waking us up around 2-3am, but thankfully it didn't last for long. Secondly, the parking is an issue if you don't prepare for it. There is a garage below the hotel, but it's separate from the hotel. 24 hr parking for $20! They do have less rates for less than 24 hr, but for 2hr, it's $8.00 and goes up. You can valet your car for $22. If you are visiting different parts of the city, you can take a cab if you don't want to drive. Also, the 24/7 free shuttle service was also not available that evening. The parking was definitely something I did not expect, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Just plan on spending at least $40 in parking (valet tipping/cab/parking lot rates/etc) every day you are there.

First-Class.... some negatives though

I stayed overnight on a weekend trip to Pittsburgh. It was a great room, spotlessly clean with an incredible view of the city's skyline and hills beyond. The bed was quite comfy and the bathroom was just right. On the negative side, a bunch of kids' hockey teams were staying at the hotel and instead of being in their rooms with their parents, were running around the halls of the hotel late at night and early in the morning. Walls were thin so I could hear every time the cleaning lady put the vacuum on. Also, parking was ridiculous. Twenty a day to park in a lot on a SATURDAY. Lack of off-street or on-street parking force guests to overpay for a ramp under the hotel. Almost eight bucks for a jack-and-coke at the hotel's bar. I would recommend this to families or football fans that need a place close to the stadiums/arena. For couples vacationing, I would suggest someplace near Squirrel Hill or Oakland-area.

Simply the best

I stayed to clear my head and go out and party for the night, but honestly I was so tired after work and the bed was so comfortable, I stayed in and channel surfed, slept and looked out at the beautiful night view of the strip district! I was completely content with that due to the room being totally comfortable. I'd definitely stay again. A little surprised there was no fridge or kitchenette for what was paid, but I was satisfied. I definitely recommend this hotel. Staff was great too.

Very fine hotel

The stay was very professional and aside from the bone-chilling cold weather, my staff was fine. Good location and up to date technical facility.How do I get a copy of the hotel bill? They did not give me one when I checked out saying that it's billed to [...]....not sure I understood that.

Lovely city stay

The hotel is in a perfect location. Plenty of good restaurants and bars to walk to. Plus we were going to a game at the Consol which was only a ten minute walk from the hotel. The bed is very nice and comfortable as well and the conservatively decorated rooms were a pleasure to stay in. I would stay here again.

Unbeatable location for the price

We were in Pittsburgh to attend a show at the Console Center. The hotel was within walking distance which was very convenient. No complaints about the hotel. Staff was attentive and very friendly. Would stay there again.

Overall: "Very Good Stuff"

Overall, the hotel was clean, accommodating, and very close to all downtown attractions. Valet parking was also reasonable with unlimited retrievals of your vehicle.
