Staff were great, from valets to front desk to restaurant. Great location a little east of downtown near Pitt, with lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. I was pleasantly surprised by the good food quality at the modest restaurant onsite. Very nice for an affordable stay.

The bed was the best part. The property is a little rundown but works if you are going to UPitt. Found it a little pricey for what they offer. More than 300 per night.
