A utilitarian hotel, nothing special, almost Soviet in its ambience. The view out my window was a ruin of a Chevrolet dealer. The A/C unit sounded like a bus engine chugging away in my room. A trash truck sat outside my window from 5 to 6 am, noisily compressing garbage. Things often don't work: a printer for use of the visitors; a kettle to keep the hot water hot. If it weren't for being near U. Pittsburgh, it would be way overpriced, compared to far nicer hotels that cost the same.
