  Good Location

  Was in town for a conference and stayed here for several days. The location is within walking distance of the University of Pittsburgh. Plenty of restaurants in the area and close to public transit as well. Staff were great. Had trouble connecting to the WiFi a few times but all was well with assistance from the front desk staff. Left my room key another night and was issued another (with proper ID, of course). All in all, I would definitely consider this location in the future.

  A Very Nice Hotel

  Check-in was easy and efficient. I had called the day before to ask for a very early check-in......no problem. Parking costs $20 per day. The parking garage (just one level) is just steps from the front door of the hotel......very convenient. We had a large, 2-queen bed, room. There was an "L" shaped couch and an easy chair. Behind the beds, on the wall, is a very nice "mural" that takes up the entire wall. One negative is the placement of the TV, at right angles to the beds and most of the couch. That is, you have to watch TV on a kind of an angle. As brightly lit as the bathroom is, the bedroom is not as good. There is an overhead light in the kitchen area = that's fine. There's a 6' tall pole lamp over the couch = perfect for reading on the couch. Between the two beds, there are 2 lights that point directly downward, making it nearly impossible to read in bed......very inefficient. The kitchen area is really nice looking: a large refrig, stove, huge microwave, and a dishwasher. The bathroom sink is inside a very nice- and modern-looking bathroom. But, there is not a lot of counter space, although thee is a small shelf for toiletries. It's probably the best lit bathroom I've ever seen. The shower was good, and the bath towels were large. The breakfast room is very large. Lots of small tables scattered around the lobby level (down one flight from the check-in counter). There is a very extensive food selection, which includes 8 toppings (including my favorite food group, coconut) for waffles, yogurt, etc.

  Nice hotel, great location but...

  Overall, this is a nice hotel and I would recommend to anyone visiting the hospital or the university. Staff were all very helpful and the available shuttle made transport to and from the Petersen center super easy. The shuttle driver was especially helpful and friendly on a rainy dreary day. Extra kudos to her! Easy walk to many restaurants and the Pitt campus. Included breakfast was basic but decent enough. Workout room small but clean with the basics However.... Cannot give it 5 stars. We booked the 2 bed, sofa bed room for our family of 2 adults plus 2 teens, thinking one of the kids could use the sofa bed. Wrong. In the past, we've learned that most sofa beds are not comfortable. This, However was best described by my 14 yr old as a "bed of nails". For a rather newer hotel, the mattress was stained, thin and should be thrown out. The bedding in the closet was also dirty and stained and i had to request new set (which was quickly brought to our room) Moral of the story... Don't use the sofa bed Room overall was clean with average bedding and pillows. Tv set up was odd, on a side wall, making odd watching angles, and the lighting was odd as well with no central "room" lighting aside from an entryway lamp and separate fixtures for living area and bed area. The pool was super small with max of 12. Def not a lap pool but good for a few little ones. Parking is across the street as mentioned, and is a super challenge to anyone in mid size or larger car. Just getting into the garage took a few tries due to sharp narrow angles and our larger Buick. There is a rear small lot behind the hotel, However this is only in use Fridays and Sat per the desk, and that, too is not super large. (the drawbacks of any city location I suppose)

  Great Hotel

  We stayed at this hotel because we were visiting Shadyside Hospital. We found this on priceline as an Express Deal and landed it for $77/night plus taxes so around $100/night. We snagged a parking spot out front and paid with the meter, cost us around $13 to park until check-out. If you don't want to mess with that, park at the parking garage next door for $20. Check-in was smooth, we had a king room and it was wonderful and clean. Check-out was a breeze as well. Breakfast was very good too! We will be coming back this weekend. Great place to stay!

  Fantastic Location - Adequate Rooms

  We were only here for one night to visit CMU. We absolutely loved the proximity to the university as well as nearby restaurants/shops. Parking was easy and the free breakfast was what you would expect. The common area for eating breakfast was really nice -- open and airy. The workout room was sufficient and clean. Our room was well-decorated and appointed despite the small square footage. The hotel also has a handy shuttle running back and forth to CMU all day long. If our son ends up at CMU, this is where we will be staying when we visit.
