Nice hotel in downtown area, very convenient to arena and walkable to stores and restaurants. Nice pool/hot tub area. Only real drawback was that the diner area was understaffed for breakfast.

The stay was enjoyable. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable. The pool and hot tub were just right. The food was good, both dinner and breakfast in the morning. The waiter/bartender during dinner time was not very friendly and seemed like he didn’t want to be there. He didn’t even offer a smile. The air conditioning in our room wasn’t very cold and the dial didn’t seem to be working, but when I called the front desk about it, no one would answer.

Overall, great location loved the rooms and how big they are for the price. I love that I was given connecting rooms- that will def bring me back to this location. JThe pool and hot tub are nice, and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only things I could say was that the knob on my fridge was gone and the port for the USB by the desk was broken I called up advise and they said they would fix it in the morning but never did, so the fridge was pretty much not very useful for me personally. I used the fridge next door for everything. Also parking should be more reasonably priced for guests. I know it’s downtown but parking is usually free at hotels that aren’t downtown, I’d rather go further out to save on parking next time.

Staff is great, property is dated, carpets seem a little dirty for my liking. Other than that the place was clean, it wasn’t worth the $300 I paid for one night, but I went to see Pearl Jam so I understand why they jacked up the prices. As far as going there for an event I would stay there again. PPG ARENA is 100 yards away, the food & drinks were great at the bar downstairs staff was friendly & did a great job taking care of us. Parking is not included it was $32, but parking down the street at the parking garage was $55. Oh, the room was really big with comfy king size bed & a pull out sofa. Large bathroom with huge shower too

Location was great for our event. Room was comfortable enough but the desk chair was ripped in several spots, the bathroom hook was missing and the outlet was damaged. My biggest complaint is that only one elevator was working! We ended up walking downstairs with our bags after waiting 15 minutes and never having enough room to board. Were seniors so stairs are challenging especially with luggage.

Great location and nice lobby bar/restaurant. We had issues at check in being issued a key to a room which already had people in it. Our parking fee was taken off of our bill. We were very disappointed about the spa being closed and the pool heater was also broken. This is where we stay when we go to penguins games and hope that the issues are resolved soon!

The room price was increased for the event at PPG arena, which was taking place that night, That was to be expected. However, I did not expect to pay $350 for a room that was in such poor condition. I was so disappointed in the condition of the room. The room was very dusty. Every surface was covered in dust. The carpet throughout the entire room was stained and filthy. I never took off my shoes. The makeup mirror in the bathroom was falling off the wall, making it unusable. The wallpaper was patched in areas. The bedside table lamp was broken. I was so disappointed. I have stayed here before and it was lovely. We booked this room since we were going to the show at PPG. It kind of put a damper on our evening.

By the time we left our one small trash can in the bathroom turned into multiple bags filled with garbage. Shower also splashes outside of the stall making the floor super slippery. Overall, I like staying here. It’s walkable to the t station and has in out privileges for parking- which is not typical for the city. Overall staff were friendly. Just wish it was cleaner!

Friendly staff, nice lobby/bar. Room was one of the most un-clean rooms I've ever had to stay in. It was clearly not cleaned AT ALL other than folding the toilet paper to make it appear clean. Shower had obvious signs of not being cleaned such as small, dark colored curly hairs ALL OVER. Same with the bedding. When brought up to management I was told the room would be cleaned and new bedding-that never happened. We ended our stay a night early because of how dirty the room was. They also left us a complimentary bottle of used lotion. On top of this, parking is not free to guests, its an additional fee when you check in. Would not suggest staying here if you prefer a clean room.

The convenience of staying here for an event at PPG is unmatched. The room definitely needs updating (carpet was terrible, toilet barely flushed, comforter had stains, literal boogers on the walls by the bed) and the noise from hallways carries into the room very easily. Staff was great. Would recommend for the convenience, but if your a cleanliness stickler, please choose elsewhere! Glad we only had to stay one night!

Rooms

Suites are generally spacious with comfortable layouts, but numerous reviews cite dated decor, worn furniture, squeaky or firm beds, and maintenance problems with AC, fixtures, or TVs. Noise is usually manageable, though arena events or hallway sounds can carry, and Wi-Fi reliability varies.

This hotel was fantastic. The parking is very simple and easy and one of the cheaper onsite parking hotels in downtown Pittsburgh. Check in was a breeze and the front desk has a small shop next to it for drinks and snacks that you can just charge to the room! The room was amazing and spacious and very clean. The only complaint is the shower doesn’t have a door. Only half of the shower is closed and water gets all over the floor. The bed was nice and the air flow was phenomenal. Perfect if you have an event to go to at ppg paints because it’s right there. Also a fantastic pizza place open late night right behind it! Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The location is fantastic for any event at PPG Arena—walk out the door to the parking area, and it’s a short walk to an elevator, down 2 levels and you are at the entrance. The bed was VERY squeaky, you couldn’t roll over without waking your partner. The shower floor was slimy. I gave up on hot water for my shower, only to have it arrive halfway through my shower. Shelving in bathroom was falling off the wall. The room had a nice work area(desk).

Convenience to PPG arena is fantastic. However, the rooms need some attention. There were not outlets near the bed. The USB by the desk was broken. The swing out makeup mirror in the bathroom was half missing. And when showering, the soap dispensers fell off the wall. They were just attached with silicone. The breakfast option is just a buffet which seemed overpriced at $16.00. We passed and went out for brunch. The staff was friendly though. $178 was probably a little high for what we got.

Definitely an older hotel albeit the lobby and bar seem upgraded. Our room was spacious but a bit "sketchy." Mildew in the tub, stains on the carpet and the interior was dated. However, we knew space was limited due to the homecoming and Steelers games so we stayed. The most troubling part of the stay was that our hotel door didn't lock! When we arrived, we had some trouble with the door but chalked it up to the key. The next morning when we came back from getting coffee, keys weren't working but the door seemed loose. We pushed a little and the lock just popped open. Thinking it was a fluke, my sister and I went inside, closed the door and repeatedly tried to see if it would open without a key -IT DID! We were shocked and unnerved to know we were in a room that didn't lock. We reported it to management and it seems the door was repaired on the second night. The hotel is convenient but there is work to be done for safety and cleanliness.

We stayed here after a concert at PPG paints and the hotel was very nice and welcoming. This hotel was a nice place to relax before and after the show. The lady at the downstairs bar was very nice and we enjoyed talking to her. The room had everything we needed in it. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, room was quiet, and over all the room was great. The carpet did have some stains on it in some areas but it did not bother us. The breakfast did not start on time. They started breakfast at 8am and it is suppose to start earlier around 6:30am. They did not inform us how late they were going to start so we sat at a table and waited for an hour until they decided to serve breakfast. The breakfast was also not worth the price for just a small omelet for $14 bucks. While we would stay here again we would go elsewhere for breakfast. Other than the breakfast we had a fantastic stay and will stay again.

After checking in, I found that there were a large area of dirty marks on the sheets in the arranged room. Unexpectedly, I didn't change the new sheets, so I had to ask to change the room! The second is that there is a difference between the charge and the order price. It is obviously more charged, and there is no email reply to the specific standard fee! The location is average and the charge is high, and you can only choose to pay for breakfast! The experience is very bad.
