  Honest review and don’t trust any words from your rent tour: 1. The AC is down for the entire summer (June, July, August, and now September). It’s 90 outside and 88 inside my unit. They’ve been saying they will fix it, but after communicating and waiting for the entire summer, I’m still living in this upper 80 weather without AC. Not a single unit issue and it seems like this happens every summer building wide. Not sure why am I paying pretty high rent to sleep in sweeting. With those heat, I also have to find somewhere else with AC to spend the rest of my day and came back just to sleep as long as it’s above 80 outside 2. Half of the gym equipments are broken (gym looks good during my rent tour but I found out those treadmills are all broken after move in). Constantly run into random people that apparently are not residents using the bathroom and shower room in the gym, feel dangerous 3. You have to ask someone from the front desk to find and bring your packages. At the same time, I remember they told me the packages should be delivered to the locker and I can pick them up using passcodes during rent tour 4. Elevator always smells like dog pees Many complaints and many problems since move in, but no one in the office even bothers to fix things for the residents, you also can’t even reach the management for most of the time when run into any issue, so stay away from this apartment. Btw the water and sewer fees are higher than other apartment in the area

  Building has beautiful architecture, stairwells are not clean, windows are filthy, rooms are nice, washer dryer was nice, surrounding area is sketchy at times. Plenty of restaurants, close to sport venues. Parking is extra. Upper level parking is nice.

  The Pennsylvanian is hands down one of the worst places I have lived throughout my life. They have some of the worst communication I have experience from an Apartment complex, you could go directly to the office but good luck as it seems they work in office when they want. We had AC issues for several months with multiple maintenance request that was finally fixed after 4 months in the middle of the summer where we had animals. The valet company they have is also hit or miss as to when they will be down there to get the car, sometimes you call down and no on answers or late at night the might be sleeping in their car waiting for valet calls. The garage leaks rust water all in the winter which led to rust and paint damage all over my truck. What was their solution? They had valet clean it with a rag and chemical cleaner that did not get the rust off but then left paint scratches/swirls all over my truck. Then to add to it we don't get out deposit until 3 weeks after the 30 day return policy with a check in the mail and no itemized list as to everything that was charged after move out. I am in the process of putting a case together to bring to court because my roommate and I were not the only ones to experience problems like this. The cherry on top is my roommate resigned with them and is still living there and that's how they are treating him with all this as a CURRENT resident. Mind you his AC broke again. The Fix? Temporary AC unit inside until they fix it. Its already been a month. Do better.

  Great hotel. Valet parking is 44 dollars a night. Which we did do, because that was the easiest way to get the luggage up to the room. Gives you direct access to the elevators. Otherwise you would have to park at the amtrak station lot. Which is quite a walk across the street. Just make sure to add parking to your overall price per night.

  The Pennsylvanian is a striking piece of architecture and one of Pittsburgh’s most recognizable historic landmarks. My comments are strictly about the building’s entrance, which is absolutely gorgeous. The ornate stonework, grand arches, and historic design make it stand out. It’s well worth taking a moment to admire, even if you’re just passing by.
