I stayed at this hotel May 15, 2013 because my daughter had a baby at Magee Hospital. The hotel was a short walk away from the hospital so I saved money on parking. The bed seemed clean and the shower/tub was decent, but that's where it ends. The hotel is in desperate need of an overhaul. The chairs in my... More

I was in Pittsburgh for a medical appointment and wanted convenience to the UPMC. This hotel fit the bill. It was less than 5 minutes away, easy to find, and easy to get where I was going. The price was reasonable, and it was clean. That being said, it was pretty basic without the usual refrigerator, microwave, or breakfast. Most... More

Several rooms were reserved for family members for the graduation of our daughter from Pitt a couple weeks ago. Everything was fine, rooms were clean and adequate. Nothing fancy, but the price was great, and included free parking. The Panera Cafe on the first floor is very convenient since there is no breakfast provided.

Two couples stayed here. The staff was thoughtful enough to give us rooms next to each other. The rooms were comfortable enough and each had a balcony. Unfortunately some sort of machine outside periodically made noise throughout the night. There was free coffee and tea in the lobby all day. Each room had a coffee maker. Panera's is on the... More

I'm glad you were able to stay with us during your recent trip to Pittsburgh. Although your regular hotel was booked, I'm glad we were able to accommodate you. If you're returning to the hotel in the future, ask for a room with two double beds. Those rooms all come with a microfridge and are larger than the single rooms.... More

Bed is sagging and old, but the sheets appear to be clean, they have soft pillows. There is a Panera Bread near by for your breakfast needs. They have free coffee in the lobby. Cons: There is no...

In our USA tour, we booked here on the 4th July. Although a bit far from the city center, it was all very well, even though is an impersonal hotel as you find in USA. Nothing extremely good, you went in. No breakfast. You can go there but nothing to write home about
