Nice Hotel, Location is far from everything.
The listing is very misleading regarding their location in Pittsburgh. I was expecting to be much closer to PNC Park. Hotel is nice but lacks a decent restaurant and is far from anything in Pittsburgh.

Truly Clean!!
Very clean! Good food in the restaurant. I like the decor as it represents the city. I would stay here again, however, I will bring my own pillow. The pillows in the room are very thick and stuffed firm. They were too tall for both of us. That is just personal preference.

Great experience... unexpected fees up front, but it was all good after 5-7 business days after reimbursements. Very good experience overall. Would definitely visit that location again.

A bit disappointed
The hotel is nice but very dark. The room was also very dark. It was a nice room. It overlooks the highway which the nice doesn’t bother me at all. Floors need to be a bit more clean. I felt the parking rate was about excessive. I understand everyone charges but I usually pay 15-20, not 30 a night Overall it served its purpose.

Mixed feelings
Beautiful hotel but road noise made for a bad night. Also, they provide no bottled water and when I asked at front desk, I was told it was only for members

Love the room and its cleanliness. Service staff was professional and prompt in response. The artefacts salvaged from US Steel mill demolished in 2018 integrated well with the hotel's modern design and invoked good understanding of the history of Pittsburgh. We love our stay!

It was a good hotel, would stay again. I wish it was a little cleaner, and that it offered complimentary breakfast other than just buying food at the restaurant
