I was impressed by the hotel's prime location near the University of Pittsburgh, making it ideal for visiting my son. The rooms were decent, although they could have been cleaner. The staff was helpful and accommodating, but some surprises with room rates were off-putting. Despite these drawbacks, the peaceful location close to various activities was a big plus.

My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms were nice and laid out well, but we did encounter a few issues like having to fix a broken item ourselves and dealing with a lack of hot water. Additionally, there was a noticeable cigarette smell in the supposedly non-smoking room, making it less pleasant. However, the great location and a few positive features balanced out these drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had convenient amenities like a fridge and microwave, but there were lingering smells of cigarette smoke and some cleanliness issues in corners. The service was efficient in handling emergencies but lacked friendliness at times. The location was great for exploring Pittsburgh, though not all areas were as close as expected. The dining options nearby were convenient, but the hotel's own offerings were not as impressive. Overall, it was an average stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel unfortunately lacks a welcoming atmosphere and the rooms urgently need a refresh. The constant noise from nearby winds disturbs the stay, and rowdy guests disregarded the no-smoking policy, affecting the overall experience. However, the professional service stands out as efficient and knowledgeable, although there are minor issues with the building's maintenance. The location, although near colleges and some amenities, may not suit everyone's preferences.
