Went there for a conference for a few days and since we knew the rooms came with a fridge decided to stop to pick up some 'drinks' for the room. Now this is a State thing, you can NOT buy alcohol at a grocery store or any place other than a state owned liquor store. When it comes to beer,... More

The How and Why: An accidental tourist trip put me in Pitt for the night. Don't know if I'd pay $269 a night for a room, but I got this hotel one of those 'Mystery Hotel' promotions discounts so I snagged it for a mere $85. (Woo-Hoo!!)

The hotel has a beautiful lobby and lobby restaurant, nicely appointed room, and good service. We enjoyed everything except the unusual 'service' we received in the hotel pub one night. Bartender must have been having a tough day - not very nice; then was insisting that we take extra drinks to our room even though we had no interest in... More

So spending $217 for a hotel room - well, there was a king size bed, not very comfortable. Neither my husband nor I got a good night's rest. Coffee pot , could make 2 cups reg, 2 cups decaf, only 2 creamers. Flat screen TV, fridge. Bought some half and half @ RiteAid. Wow, it had these lights built into... More

The rooms were very nice and modern considering the age of this hotel. It was very regal and charming. Made you feel you were in the days gone by. We spent two nights here while at the Pittsburgh Marathon. Very convent for the race. Hotel staff was very friendly. It was a bit pricier than I usually spend on hotels,... More

Very nice hotel. The rooms were in great shape. They came with all modern amenities (flat screen tv, refrig, coffee maker) you would expect. The staff were nice and the service was good. I will say there's not much life downtown.

Beautiful hotel which retains it's historic style. The restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast buffet was exceptional, with a very large selection of gluten free products. Service in all areas is first class. Parking is a little pricey but you will not need your car because you can walk everywhere.
