Nice place to stay

Clean comfortable hotel conveniently located near UPMC hospitals. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean with nice amenities except for the pillows. While they look nice and fluffy, the second you put your head on them they turn into flat pancakes. The parking price is also a little steep—$35 for one night is a lot especially when the cost of the room is also high. Overall it is a great place to stay if you need to be at one of the hospitals early in the morning.

The bedding was thread bare and looked well past its prime use - and there was barely a blanket on my bed. The staff were incredibly nice and professional. The location was convenient for my daughter‘s dorm.

I had sent a written message to hotel that my nephew should not be inconvenienced while checking in. Still at middle of night front desk person harassed him till he woke me up. He was checking in a day late and that was communicated to the hotel ( I have the proof). Still hotel kept telling him that the reservation was canceled as no one checked in the prior day. Suggestion to future guests sending their kids- please avoid this hotel, even if your kid has to stay at some distance from campus

Was not aware that there was only valet parking at $35.00 a day. That was a shock atvthe extra cost that I had to pay. The tolet would not stop running and the pillows were all so soft.
