| - I came, I saw. Feh, I was unimpressed. The two star rating Meh I've experienced better was the closest to that sentiment, so that's that. So let's go over the pros: it's in the downtown area, it's close to the old "Igloo" where the Penguins used to play, close to the new Fill-in-the-blank Energy Arena (forget the name)...close to businesses (think I saw a convention center there?).
Pretty pathetic though for a hotel to offer "shuttle service" to major city points (such as PNC Park, which was what I was there for) and a) only have ONE operating on the weekends (while several things were going on in town) and b) not run after game nights? What gives? now, I understand that around the stadium, it's tough to pick up since it's mostly pedestrian only and one of the draws to the area. But something's gotta give. Luckily, I'm a New Yorker, I walk everywhere, and it was about a mile away from the stadium. But it was raining and I was none too happy.
What else? I got this as a Priceline deal, so I guess beggars can't be choosers. Room was good, I was there for only an overnight...will i be back there? I'll visit Pittsburgh again sooner rather than later, but this place? Never. Again.
