Cool stay, no major complaints the only thing I disliked that wasn’t detailed upon booking was the ridiculous parking not only is it on a completely different building across the street/next door it’s also an additional $22 per night only for 1 vehicle so we had 2 vehicles & they don’t offer additional parking so we had to find parking elsewhere up the street. I’m a very experienced traveler & I’ve never experienced this whole parking ordeal I would’ve definitely booked elsewhere had I know this ahead of time. Overall tho the hotel was clean & the stay were nice

Coming to the property I had just been involved in a automobile accident where my car was totaled and unbeknownst to me I was suffering from two broken ribs. Staff did everything possible to make me comfortable, answer any questions, and even walk out to the garage later on in the evening to hand select a parking spot when I thought the garage was full. Thank you everyone. I will return to the area and when I do I will choose yours to stay at.

View from corner of the room next to window.

View from other corner next to other window where the ac/heating unit are in the wall.

View from the same corner of the roo. But facing the sitting area looking toward the wardrobe/safe, and king sized bed.

I have stayed at this property several times when I have visited Pitt. I have already booked several stays for the upcoming year. Very convenient to campus, quiet, walkable, and safe. Easy parking and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend - it has consistently been a good place to stay.
