Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This place is a bit rough around the edges. The downstairs entrance attracts homeless people looking for shelter. It needs a permanent employee to stay there near the elevators. Also, my room was technically cleaned but they didn't wipe the dirty counters, didn't vacuum the floors, and didn't replace the paper coffee cups for the following morning. Definitely not worth the price. Stay across the street at the Courtyard.

Stop designing bathrooms with glass barn doors!

The hotel was fine, but, I hate glass bathroom barn doors and it makes sharing a room uncomfortable. Also, although the room I booked claimed a "City View", it looked out into an alley which included a direct view of an unhomed individual. Location was fine. The additional breakfast offered for $15 was good.

Just an Okay Stay

Nice property. We upgraded to a “city view” room and were originally put on the second floor with a view of a tree top. We were given a room on the sixth floor that was better. You will have to pay to park at this property. Twenty Five dollars for anything over twelve hours, and no in and out privileges. The hallways smelled of Marijuana and the carpet was coming up in several places outside of our room. The room was clean bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Be prepared to meet some sketchy characters outside that were wandering around later in the evening. No visible security on the first floor. You will need a room key to get in the doors after 11pm and all times to get to the floors with a room.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone was super sweet and I'll happily book a stay again! The only complaint is that the bathroom door does not have a lock (sliding frosted glass door), the shower drain clogged extremely easily, and the shower door kept sliding open so water got everywhere.

Well since it was my first time in Pittsburgh I was nervous being that I'm a browns fan LOL. But the front desk lady was kind of short with me. Said things a little too fast but she had a smile on her face the whole time. I think she's just conditioned to handle business and then move on to the next task. I don't think it was anything personal. Other than that the hotel was spotless clean and beautiful. I loved it and would return again
