This property is very close to the Pitt and CMU, so make it a preferred choice to visit schools. However, the parking is expensive, the noise can easily penetrate the rooms, and it is very noise at late night. The front desk cannot take care of the basic needs to add a light

Excellent stay!!

Was there to drop my oldest off for fresh year @ Pitt Incredibly convenient to campus - free parking garage was easy to navigate and spots were plentiful Room was ready early and was exactly as advertised The lady at front desk was on point. Friendly and efficient! Later on when we realized how limited and pricey the hotel breakfast options were, she was super helpful with finding a good breakfast diner nearby as well as several other suggestions that turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. Room was clean and comfortable. The AC unit was a little loud, but that’s typical of those types of units. Will absolutely be staying here again!
