• The staff was very friendly even at 2:00 am.
• They were unwilling to accommodate my request for 2 beds.

“The hotel was quite convenient for my needs and very quiet. However, I found the valet parking to be very inconvenient as the staff was not able to keep up with the demand for cars especially in the prime morning times.”

• Great location for University, stores, dining friendly, quick van rides.
• Small rooms but serviceable.

“The location is terrific for visiting CMU. Colleges are only 5 minutes away by hotel van, upscale shops and dining are a 10 minute walk away. The service is courteous and efficient.”

• Clean and pleasant room (though very standard).
• The hotel is poorly situated with major facilities and attractions.

“We stayed five days and four nights as my wife was completing a program at U. Pitt. The hotel is billed as in the neighborhood of campuses (Pitt and CMU), but it's too far to walk so it is good that they normally provide a free shuttle. However on the last two days of our visit, the free shuttle broke down and there was no provision for us to get to campus. This proved a major inconvenience, since we had to rely on repeated cab rides (and since there were many people in the same situation, it became almost impossible to get a taxi). The hotel should have provided a back-up shuttle or at least offered to pay for our repeated taxi rides back and forth to campus.”

• Parking fees.

“Spacious room. Free internet. Parking fees $18.20/night too high. Valets not very helpful with luggage. Front desk staff a little on the arrogant side.”

• The facilities and people were very nice and efficient.
• The unexpected charges not included in room rate, mandatory valet parking charges and breakfast was also not in room rate.

“The hotel was an excellent hotel with top notch personnel. It's not that easy to get to, but was very conveniently located for my purposes of visiting a sick relative in an area hospital. Valet parking charge exceeding $18/day and a very fine breakfast that is also not included in the room rate.”

• They provided shutter buses to nearby areas. Very convenient.
• The location was at a busy intersection, far from nearby shopping area.

“Hotel room was a bit noisy from outside traffic as well as guest in the hallway. Overall, not bad, comfortable. I think this hotel is good for 1 or 2 night stay.”

• Very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable and secure.
• Valet parking, noisy heater/AC.

“We were visiting the University of Pittsburgh, as were many others, so I was happy to have the car to bypass waits for shuttle service.”

• Comfy room. Very nice set up and very nicely decorated!
• Valet parking was $20, and hotel staff had varied answers about when they ticketed for on-street parking.

“Very nice. We were hoping to stay closer to Downtown. The shuttle didn't go to where we needed, but the desk called us a cab. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. However, when I asked about on-street parking, I got different answers from staff. One person told me they didn't ticket on the weekends, starting Friday at 6. Someone else told us they ticketed every day, even weekends from 8am-8pm. And someone else said they ticket Friday till 8. I just parked on the street right in front of the hotel and decided to chance it. I didn't get ticketed, so I think that the city does NOT ticket on the weekends. Room was fabulous. Bed was extra comfy. I enjoyed the flat screen TV and the overall layout of the room. Other than the parking situation, I highly recommend!”

• Nice TV, internet connection.
• Forced valet parking for $19.

“Good location, easy to find, clean rooms, nice TV selection, free internet. Overall has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Only drawback is the forced valet parking. I suppose it does add some security by having the valet on duty in the lot. If this extra cost doesn't bother you or you don't have a car this hotel is a good option.”

• Excellent service, location, and decor.
• Nothing!

“The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the decor was fantastic much nicer than I had expected. Also, this hotel is located right outside the UPMC Shadyside hospital campus (where I was interviewing) and within walking distance of many shops and restaurants in the trendy Pittsburgh neighborhood of Shadyside. I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody traveling to Pittsburgh.”

• I liked the staff and the room accommodations were excellent.
• I didn't like that they only offered valet parking.

“Overall, we had a great stay in this hotel. The room was very nice and clean and it was in a great location for our needs. The only thing that I wish were different is the parking arrangements. We did not want to pay almost twenty dollars a day to valet park so we had to find metered parking on the street. But it was nice that there was a Starbucks coffee attached to the hotel! Great trip all around!”

• Location to universities.
• Parking was only by valet @ $20 a night.

“Nice, new, clean hotel with a styling lobby and clean spacious rooms. Room service is limited in both hours and variety; but it was prompt and affordable.”

• Great staff, clean, & well decorated.
• Only one computer for public use, hot tub was cold, room was a bit on the small side, mandatory daily valet parking fee.

“We stayed at this hotel with our 4 children. The hotel staff was very friendly and willing to help if needed. The lobby area had a cozy feel to it, and the hotel was clean. Not very fond of the mandatory daily valet parking rate of $18.88, but overall it was a great hotel, at an even greater price. I'd definitely stay again.”

• Everybody was so friendly and helpful.
• Nothing bad to say.

“From the moment I steeped into the hotel everybody had a smiling face and just a, I'm happy to serve you attitude. I did not stay long but everybody that worked at the hotel made me want to stay another day or two on my trip.”

• Transportation provided by hotel was outstanding.
• The food in the restaurant was not served as described on the menu and one meal was cold.

“The hotel room exceeded my expectations as far as comfort, appointments, and size. The restaurant needed more staff. The one waitress was juggling service in the restaurant and delivery of meals for room service. We attempted to order three different wines and they were all unavailable. The restaurant should also have more partitions to separate it from lobby to provide a quieter dining atmosphere.”

• The hotel room was not as clean as I expected for the price.

“The hotel was o.k. But I did not like the fact I had to pay for valet parking.”

• Good open for breakfast & dinner, indoor pool, convenient location and complimentary shuttle service.

“Although located outside the city this hotel actually had more to offer. The hotel had a restaurant open for breakfast and dinner, plus a lounge (always a bonus) seven days a week. All parking is valet parking and there is a charge (13.00 plus a city tax that brings the total to 18.85) but you understand because you are still in the city and everyone knows that in the city of Pittsburgh parking is limited. I looked at it this way at least I didn't have to be out in the weather as long and the valet attendants cleaned the snow off my car (again another bonus).”
