Once a year for the past 10+ years we've been staying here. You canNOT beat the location. You can walk to shops and restaurants and the area is safe. The staff has always been above average. A few years ago the rooms were rundown but since they have renovated and the rooms couldn't be better. A hotel doesn't give you that much room - you literally have your our own apartment. I was there last week because a family member died. We were having relatives visit us at Shadyside Inn and the staff went out of their way to deliver chairs to our rooms. Our rooms were cleaned every day and there are very few places that allow dogs - and they do! Their prices are reasonable and I wouldn't stay anywhere else while in PA. Thank you Shadyside!
