Great clean hotel located in a very cool part of Pittsburg. We were in town for a concert at the PPG Center and this hotel was within comfortable walking distance. Newly upgraded rooms, very clean and offered an amazing breakfast every morning with different options. Highly recommend staying here.

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend with co-workers for a Penguin’s and Steelers game. When we arrived there was no hot water but they said it would be fixed. After 2 days it was never fixed but the hotel said they would give me a 25% discount which I was fine with. 3 weeks later and 5 phone calls I have not received my 25% discount. My last call to them I spoke with Miss Betty for the second time (who said she was a manager) and she yelled at me and hung up on me. Do not stay at this hotel the staff is rude always on their phones at the front desk and do not care about their guests

The hotel had no hot water for multiple days. This has happened before we checked in, and while the reception mentioned that we should have received the emails regarding this, I could not find any of them at all. Anyway, second day of our stay the water was still not there, and we asked for the full reimbursement and immediate cancellation of our stay. The manager agreed to that, yet later we figured out the check out was never processed. Third day since it happened, and we are still fighting with the hotel regarding all this mess.
