Again, Google map insists I've been here and I have not. I do plan on staying at this location in the future.

Felt nicer in person than photos online suggested, the lobby and rooms were clean and pleasant. Bed was comfortable. There is a bar/ restaurant downstairs but it’s impossible to see how much anything costs in advance (and frankly felt embarrassing to ask how much my breakfast would cost) so I ate elsewhere. Cenci’s across the street was great. The hotel is in a decent location with a pleasant view of the sunset.

Stayed in this hotel while visiting my daughter at college in Pittsburgh. The location was convenient with an easy drive in and out of the city. Friday night it sounded like the room next door was being remodeled. I was fine with the noise until in continued after 10 pm. Saturday night was worse for noise. From 10 pm on there was just constant talking echoing from the lobby down the hallway. I've never had a ground floor room before and I certainly never hope to experience it again. At midnight when my daughter complained about the noise the employee made excuses saying a wedding party had just returned to the hotel. At 2 am when I complained I was told well everyone just came back from the bar but it is quiet now. There was a group of people talking very loudly in the lobby as this conversation happened. I let the gentleman at the desk know that the noise from that conversation was very audible in my room and the noise had been near constant since 10 pm. He said "I do apologize but it has been quiet for the past hour" I asked if this is a normal level of noise so I know never to book a room at this hotel again but he didn't say much other than I apologize and it should be quiet now. I ended up deciding to drive home Sunday evening instead of staying a third night. The pool and hot tub both have lots of signs of aging. There was a dead bug smashed on the wall right by the lamp on the night stand, I wish I would have noticed sooner. The body wash and conditioner were empty, or low enough nothing came out of the pump. The towel rack is inside of tub which causes the towels to be damp when you go to use them. There were large gaps around the door, maybe this contributed to the noise in my room. Either way this was not what I have come to expect from Hilton brand hotels.
