Abode Pittsburgh - Downtown Convention Center

From the initial communication it is a very arduous process with their verification process. On the day of check in, I was disconnected by phone four times. It took six emails to communicate my access code with them. Once I arrived at the location, I noticed the closet door was broken, the tub filler did not operate. I emailed my request to have this serviced, they were aware of this and apologized and asked if I would permit entry to have this corrected. I agreed to the entry, no one showed up. The following day it was 85° outside and sweltering in the room. I emailed asking for service for the nest thermostat. I was told someone would return my call. And then there was no further communication. The Pennsylvanian is an exceptional property as a whole, but I would never stay with this program again. Their customer service and communication are extremely poor.

We enjoyed our stay at Abode Pittsburgh! The facility and room were very neat and clean. The security staff were friendly and helpful. Communication from Abode was timely and complete. I received check-in instructions that were clear and concise. Very helpful and thorough! This is not a hotel, though. There is no front desk staff and no on-sight restaurant. Although it is downtown in the middle of everything, so anything you might need is a short walk away.

The property was great! I really felt comfortable in the space. The concierge Naya was extremely helpful and welcoming, which was nice in the moment of being slightly overwhelmed. My ONE critique would be to simplify the instructions for finding the parking. That was the most confusing park for me. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would book this again!

The property used to be an old train station converted into luxury apartments and event space. Likes:Proximity to downtown and the Strip District Washer/Dryer with detergent Spacious Very Nice Gym Nicely stocked kitchen and bathroom.Great temperature control.Early check in available.Front door staff friendly and helpful.Dislikes:Noise from the train at odd hours of night and early morning (3:00 am). Noise emanating from event space. There were two events during our stay. The first was fine, but the second we could hear the music quite clearly but only for about 45 minutes. We had to get up early the next morning so for the person sleeping on the sofa bed it wasn’t great.Cumbersome reservation process outside of the travel booking platform.Difficult to use ride share because the drivers are not familiar with all the entrances of the building. My particular unit needed a deep clean. Drawers in the kitchen and bathroom had random junk (paper and plastic bags, odd toiletry items, plastic carry out containers). The baseboards and the louver door were thick with dust. There was a ring stain around the tub (I tried scrubbing it out with no success) and the oven was filthy. Some of the dishes, utensils, and pans were dirty (and some should be replaced). Everything else was clean and usable.Note—I didn’t call Abode for every single issue because I do not prefer anyone in my space after I have checked in. The value of the stay was good despite the negatives.

The check in process was awful. Nearly an hour. Then we got accused of a loud noise, when we were sleeping and as a wedding was going on. Parking was unclear to us. It was a nice building, but very frustrating.

The checkin was a nightmare, the parking was a nightmare,

there a million and one hoops to jump through and you don't know until you've already booked a non-refundable stay. Also the parking is a pain. The listing says parking on site what they don't tell you is that you have to renew it every 6-8 hrs and that sometimes means waking up in the middle of the night on vacation to do it. The venue itself is very classy and clean - but on parking alone I'd never stay there again. It cost me more than the $10/day for parking and was a huge hassle. I had to email them several times and their solution was to give me an extra hour for late checkout. not worth it.

There was no reception, and I wasn’t able to get into my room for 30 minutes. But once inside it was pretty nice despite some of the properly being in less the perfect condition.

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! No tv access unless you remember your passwords to Netflix etc…. And I had boxes delivered there and c/i wasn’t until 4 and housekeeping leaves at 3…. So I wasn’t able to get my packages ….. that’s insane…. I needed them for an event that started the next day at 7 am …..

Great place, very clean and accommodating and the gym was awesome.

The apartment building is nice. The property management doesn’t see to the apartment being clean. There were several issues, the worst was the mouse. We saw a mouse come in under the apartment door and later we saw it on the couch. We blocked off the bedroom, hoping it would leave the way it came. We didn’t realize the apartment was its home. He was back the next day, so I called the property management. After an hour, I was told they couldn’t do pest control until the next day. They offered to move me to a different apartment, or let me stay with the mouse for 50% off the remaining nights. The property management is okay having guest stay with wild rodents. After wishing Stuart the best (since I was in his home) we switched apartments. The new one had hair in the shower and a random pill in the window. We won’t be back.

Excellent communication. Apartment was neat and clean. 5 minutes from Duquesne campus.

dirty windows in apartment , dirty kitchen sink, slow bathroom sink drain . however, great location & pretty building

Had visitors coming in from out of town. Had to call Abode to instruct them to send a cleaning team out. The place was filthy.. certainly not worth the money. They also put a $500 hold after you pay Expedia so I had over $1200 wrapped up in a dirty apartment. Will never use Abode again. I’ve always had great experiences with Expedia. They should be off your list of rentals.

Experienced bed bugs and dirty room. Rooms are not clean! Hair and dust in bed and throughout apartment. Good location, that’s it.

It was awesome. Apartment was clean and very spacious. Check in and checkout was easy. Larry at the front desk was super friendly and helpful

The Pennsylvanian is a beautiful property from the outside. Inside it’s a bit dark and dingy (and smelly), especially the hallways. The apartment was ok. It has the amenities needed (kitchen, bathroom, living room and its laundry). However, the apartment door didn’t close properly without having to prop it up and pushing it hard. For the price paid, I expected a bit more lux. Communication from property managers was good.

Personally we went there through the greyhound bus, which was litteraly next door so it was a perfect location for us! + we went to Pittsburg for Tekko Convention, which was again, really a perfect location for us since it was litteraly a 5-10 min walk away! It was just as described, nice and clean. I personally found the communication okay! And I would definitely book again for next year 😌

Airflow in the bedroom is minimal. Otherwise, it's what's advertised

Location is easy access to market square, the strip and the stadium. The apartment has a washer and dryer and we didn’t bring home any dirty laundry. It also has a full kitchen so if you want to cook you can cook. This is a very safe property. We will return.

The bed mattress could be more comfortable. it was too old and too soft for me personally. other than that, everything was great.

Had some rather loud guests running the halls late Saturday night!

Excellent location, nice apartment. No view to speak of, but not necessary if you are out and about. Would stay again for sure!

This place should not be on your website. Reservations are very inconvenient because no one representing owner is on property. Room was fairly clean but walls, furniture and light fixtures were in poor shape.

Initially we had some communication issues that led to us not receiving the room access information until the very day we were supposed to arrive. Needless to say, we were unhappy! But hats off to Vanessa at Abode for being patient with us and reassuring us that everything was going to work out. ***The communication issue was apparently between Abode and our bank. Just want to make that clear.*** Eventually we resolved the issues and we were able to access our room easily. Everything was as advertised. The location was extremely convenient for the martial arts tournament we were in town to attend at the convention center, and we fell in love with the historic building. The room was clean and had everything provided as shown. Even though we were next to the train station the noise was not disruptive. We look forward to staying here again!

Great building, but the access and separate rental agreement that you have to sign was unexpected and a drag

Smelled of paint the whole time. Had to fix things in apt while I stayed. No help from staff.

It was a historical bldg but dirty and lots of homeless people about

Excellent communication. Apartment was neat and clean. 5 minutes from Duquesne campus.

excellent place to stay in downtown Pittsburgh

Perfect location if you want to experience downtown Pittsburgh. Comfortable and clean. Within walking distance of The Strip and the Train Stop. The only thing that was disappointing was that the windows weren't clean so we couldn't see outside very well.

Very close to congress center and downtown, good alternative to the expensive downtown hotels.

Excellent location, nice apartment. No view to speak of, but not necessary if you are out and about. Would stay again for sure!

The location is perfect, the room is cozy. The bed was so comfortable. To add to the experience there was a wedding downstairs. Absolutely, beautiful.

I got married downstairs at the Pennsylvanian and this was by far the best place to rent. Absolutely beautiful the front desk was extra friendly and helpful the apartment had everything we needed even for a dinner with the family afterwards.
