Great location for a great price in Pittsburgh. Convenient to Downtown, Oakland, and freeways. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Stayed there for 4 nights. Breakfast, high speed internet were fine. Front desk and housekeeping service good. Only negative- On weekends, parking lot gets full early. Lots of cars had to park illegally which made entering and exiting the lot tricky.... more

We picked the HI Express for our first trip to Pittsburgh, 2 nights. Turned out to be a fine choice. It's located right on the south bank, with some rooms with river and downtown views (ours wasn't). The rooms , and hotel, seemed quite new, spacious, good amenities, we prepaid and had a room with sitting area, wet bar, small... more

Our group of six friends all stayed comfortably in a two-bed suite with a sofabed. The room was quite spacious and clean. We had a minor problem with a slow drain in the shower and the hotel allowed us to move to an equally sized room across the hall. The complimentary breakfast was great and included some hot foods in... more

My friends and I were biking the 2007 Greenway Sorjourn and looked for lodging for the night before the trip. The staff was so helpful and very nice. The area where we parked was secure and the staff went out of their way to make us feel that our bikes would be safe. The rooms were lovely and smelled fresh.... more

The hotel was great, their is parking in the back (5 bucks I think) it is easy to find and the checkin was a breaze. The room was absolutely huge and tastfully decorated, looked like a JR suite at many hotels. With a king size bed, a desk area, a small table with chairs, microwave, seperate sink, medium size fridge... more

Stayed here for night night in mid-May while in town to see a Pirates game with friends at PNC Park. We had a guidance system in the car so it was very easy for us to find, right on the river in the middle of the up and coming South Side of Pittsburgh. As soon as we checked in, the... more

Hotel staff was rather rude blunt and did not help with directions to places to eat and see. The staff gave vague unhelpful directions or did not answer our questions at all. The room was nice and large with not much closet space for clothes to hang-up. There was a promise of a shuttle ride within a 2 mile radius... more

Great location! Easily accessible and parking was convenient to get in and out off (which is not always the case in hotels that are in the city). Our suite was impressive and the breakfast was great. Friendly staff and easy check in/out. I highly recommend this hotel. I will definately return!! more

Close to restaurants & nightlife on East Carson Street. Free shuttle within two mile radius can get you to & from most places on the South Side. Cont. breakfast very good, with omelets, fruit, cereal and cinnamon rolls. On-site parking very reasonably priced at $9/day, including all ins & outs. Excellent restaurant next door. The only drawback to this hotel... more
