I chose this inn for its name. The reviews were good and it exceeded our expectations. Ed was very friendly & helpful. His suggestions about where to go were spot on. It's within walking distance of the river walk & stadiums & the metro for farther trips. Walked back late at nt without any probl. The inn is beautiful. The... More

Three moms and their 16 yr old daughters had an unforgettable time. The girls took in the Spring Fever concert event at Stage AE, while the moms had a great dinner, a long walk, and a fun time with the board games provided in the dining room of the inn. The Parador made it even more memorable with its stunning... More

Well, if you combine a classy 1880's Victorian mansion in a great location on the North Shore of Pittsburgh and somehow pretend you are in the Caribbean, you get the Parador Inn. Even without the Caribbean theme, the home is a beautiful wonder, with rich wood furniture, stained glass, custom murals, greenhouse room, cupboard and art deco parlor. Add to... More

This was our first stay at a B&B. We had a totally great experience. The ambiance of the entire setting is just wonderful. I can not say one bad word about anything. Ed is a gracious host and a great conversationalist. (His dogs are pretty cool too!) Our stay was a last minute decision and I couldn't have been more... More

Ed gave us great advice about local restaurants, attractions and tips about directions. Great breakfasts. Convenient to the Aviary and Mexican War Streets and not far from Downtown Pittsburgh. Well worth the stay. Free off street parking.

Enjoyed the unique property and location while staying for 1 night between Christmas and New Year's Eve. One suggestion to the Innkeeper is to be careful what he says on the blog on his website. He has a listed Blizzard Special on his website without the detail and disclaimers surrounding this offer. Drawing from my own business experience, communicating clearly... More
