Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the excellent location of the hotel, which was convenient for accessing nearby attractions and downtown. However, there were significant concerns about the service quality, with many guests reporting issues such as unresponsive front desk staff and insufficient housekeeping. Cleanliness was also a major problem, as several reviews mentioned dirty rooms and bathrooms. Additionally, guests found the bed comfort to be lacking, and the value for price received was viewed as poor given the overall lack of services and quality. Some guests noted issues with amenities, such as missing hotel supplies and uncomfortable room conditions.AI-Generated from customer reviews

The room literally was dirty, and I have the pictures. The Guest Services Supervisor said I need to work through you to get my money back. How do I call?
Pros (+) Great location on top of the U of Pitt campus. Was a fan of the toiletries in the room as well. Wifi worked well.
Cons (-) A lot of the things in our room did not work. We had an alarm clock with a frayed wire that did not work and a few outlets in our room did not work. Our fridge was not running and had mold inside and the bathroom did not smell good - smelled a bit like urine when we got into our room.
Pros (+) Excellent location. Easily walkable to CMU. Parking was fine.
Cons (-) Bathroom light was very dim. Need to replace bulb or lighting. Shower pull tab on spout was loose. I had screw in to use shower. None of the lamps are modern with usb charging slots. Air conditioning very loud.
Pros (+) good security, evening staff on 7/5 was courteous
Cons (-) One of our keys did not work so gave us trouble getting in room
Pros (+) Great location pretty quiet room.and great shuttle service.all employees were wonderful.
Cons (-) Parking is a little challenging.its hard to figure out how and where to park.I had to ask a lot of questions
Pros (+) Very clean hotel. Located next to the University of Pittsburgh campus. Shuttle service provided, very convenient. Friendly staff.
Cons (-) Would have liked a continental breakfast. Restaurant was a bit pricey.
Pros (+) I liked the quietness of the room and it was clean.
Cons (-) There was no fan in the bathroom and every time we drove out of the parking lot, we had to step out of the car to push a button on the call box to be let out! The pillows were extremely uncomfortable.
Pros (+) Great all around hotel. Clean room, great environment, and perfect location if you need to get around to all parts of Pittsburgh during your stay.
Pros (+) Towels felt new, I felt like the surfaces were clean
Cons (-) The air in the room felt like the heater's air filter was never changed. Every day I woke up congested with a sore throat and generally do not have bad allergies. My symptoms cleared up before I even landed back home.
