What guests think

Americas Best Value Inn Pittsburgh Airport is a budget, airport-convenient motel where experiences vary, with some guests finding clean, quiet rooms and helpful staff, while many others report dirty, worn spaces, maintenance issues, smoke odors, and occasional noise.

The free airport shuttle is convenient but reliability varies, with reports of long waits, missed pickups, and schedule mix-ups. Breakfast is very basic, mostly prepackaged items, and often disappoints. Location is close to restaurants and highways, though some found the property and surrounding area run-down. Expect a no-frills stay focused on price and proximity to the airport.

Conveniently located near the airport. Shuttle to airport included however desk clerk failed to schedule the shuttle for us after we asked the night before (as per motel rules). Luckily night shift clerk was able to have shuttle driver make special trip for us so we didn’t miss our flight. It’s fine for one night. Nothing fancy but the price was right.

Good place to stay to park and fly, $7/day parking, but the airport transfer goes once an hour and you are the first pick up of the loop, so add 30 to 45 minutes to your time

The outlets barely worked. Only one that worked was by the bed. It smelled like mold. There was mold growing on the bottles of shampoo. Fridge smelled, and the TV wouldn’t work. The elevator didn’t work on the ground level. Luckily a kind gentleman helped with my luggage to the second floor.

Perfect for a quick overnight before an early flight. Clean and quiet. Shuttle on time in the morning although we had to wait about 20 minutes for it the night before at the airport. Breakfast was ok, but only microwave/toaster stuff for hot choices.

There were no tissues or blow dryer in the room. Noise all night long. I had to stand in the dark at 4:45am in a questionable neighborhood by myself waiting for the shuttle because the lobby was locked. I scheduled the airport shuttle for 5 am and at 5:15 am I had to get an Uber because the shuttle didn’t show up. As the Uber driver arrived, the shuttle pulled in behind. He apologized saying I’m just running late this morning. Because of the shuttle snafu, I arrived at my gate with just minutes to spare because of the lousy shuttle service.

The lobby was dirty and smelled of mold. The bedroom was a damp. The carpeting was damp. The bedding was dirty. There were insects flying around all over the bedroom. When we complained to the front desk we were told we had to stay there, because we were not receiving a refund, and were moved to another room that was bloodstained, and had fecal matter on the toilet seat. We did not stay at the motel at all.

Room was far from clean and needed maintenance in multiple places. I also waited over an hour for the airport shuttle. I am not one to leave bad reviews on hotels, but everything was dirty and run down here. The toilet didn't flush, the floor hasn't been vacuumed in a while, the elevator is on its last leg, and the room was as cold as outside for several hours after I turned the heat up. I'm not sure what was all over the dust ruffle, but it looked like blood splattered from a crime scene that someone tried to wash and then put it back on the bed. This hotel was cheap, but it wasn't cheap enough. I've stayed in hostels in foreign countries, and this was pretty close.

The room was dirty. The sheets were obviously not changed. There was a stain, food, and hair on them. When I called the front desk to get clean sheets, I was told none were available and that they were too busy to do anything to fix the situation. I ended up going down to get linens myself and they magically, they had clean ones. While changing the sheets we moved the bed and there was food and dirty napkins under the bed. The carpet had debris on it and had not been vacuumed.

The room looked to be unvacumed. There were crumbs/ food all along the edge of the bed . I accidently knocked my glasses behind the night stand. When i went to retrieve them it was disgusting back there. Actually felt the need to go rinse them off in the sink. Shower had hair all over in it. Sheets were questionable. Not sure if they were actually changed . Having worked in hospitality a few years , i definitely notice when a room wasn't cleaned properly. Do better!

I had traveled from a great distance and had to go to the bathroom really badly upon arrival. Even though they serve breakfast off the lobby, there was no bathroom available. I had to complete check-in (which they did as fast as they could) and go to my room before I could use a restroom. The place is very old and shows. TV was unwatchable with poor signal. Bathroom was decent. Temperature control was good. Location to the airport was outstanding. Bed was acceptable.

Decent price considering distance to venue (pavilion at star lake) and price. Unfortunately that venue has nothing closer than 20 min drive. Stayed for one night. The bathroom door is dirty, some sensor (not sure if fire or CO2) kept blinking a bright light throughout the night, the room smelled strongly of cigarettes, and the AC barely worked. Would not recommend for extended stay but did do the job for what we needed. The rest of the room appeared clean.

The check in person appeared to have a bad cold so she looked miserable and likely not performing well because of this. I am sympathetic but it affected the front desk service. Her spoken English was difficult to understand and I had to ask her to repeat things. Her handwriting was very hard to read so I could not read the room number or WIFI code and had to ask her to speak it to me so I could write it down. The room door had a dead bolt lock but the door jamb had a metal piece to deliberately block the dead bolt from being engaged. There were no available unused electrical outlets available at the room desk. One tiny bar of soap was provided but nothing else. Because of the lack of unused room electrical outlets many things like lamps and the alarm clock were sitting unplugged.

What the facility lacks for modern amenities and up-to-date comforts it makes up for with excellent service. Jabari, the attendant even helped us locate something that we left behind in our room. He promptly recovered it and called us back within a few minutes. He arranged for our early morning airport shuttle and everything worked out punctually as arranged. The shuttle service operator they use also gives excellent service. We were even able to leave our vehicle a few nights for a nominal fee. Overall we had a good experience.

This motel is an avg stay, went there by myself for the game Vs cowboys so I decided to go cheap and that’s what I got. I won’t be staying there again, the manager and the staff are rude, with the exception of an African American Ladie that was there. The manager and the other lady are rude, they may have a lenguaje/cultural barrier but they are plain rude. If you ask them more than 2 questions they get frustrated and start yelling or just start talking to you like you are ignorant. The worst customer service can be found here, stay away from this place!!

The the toilet was still soiled from whoever was there last, there was food in the microwave, vomit outside. It made me question how clean the sheets and towels were even though they were folded nicely. Breakfast was a joke- literally just pre packaged muffins and yogurt - toaster didn't even work, no creamer for coffee, just a complete lack of anything.

This place is a great value but not fancy. The continental breakfast had several good choices and met my needs well. The dining area was very clean and well organized. The king bed with ample pillows and enough blankets was very comfortable. Nice walk-in shower. Granite counter tops, carpeting, and bathroom floor tiles all clean and in good condition. I will definitely stay here again as the need arises.

We enjoyed our stay. We wanted a lower priced hotel for a two-night stay in Pittsburgh. This hotel fit the bill. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, very quiet and didn't have any issues. The breakfast is definitely just continental, mostly prepackaged foods but that's how it's advertised. Only bad thing was no hair dryer. I thought the rooms had them but they did not.
