| - Spent a long weekend here with my fiance. We came to Pittsburgh for a concert, and chose this hotel for it's awesome location- downtown, across the river from PNC park, and just around the corner from Meat & Potatoes, my new favorite restaurant (and lots of other restaurants & bars- one unique thing about Pittsburgh is that downtown is also the theatre/cultural district).
There's a large garage just across from the entrance, and parking is only $5 overnight. The hotel is clearly historic, and the lobby is very grand- there is a beautiful ceiling and lovely staircase. The rooms are all uniquely shaped, which I loved. Such a welcome chain from most cookie-cutter hotels. The person working the front desk gave me a bit of an attitude during check-in when he clearly saw that I had booked my room via Priceline. Although I've seen the attitude before, if your management books rooms through Priceline, you should treat those guests well. I loved this hotel and would be happy to stay there again, but not if the front desk people are rude to their "second class" guests.
We had a nice room on the 8th floor with a queen sized bed and a huuuuge bathroom. The rooms are a bit dated at this point, and the robe in the closet was an unappealing shade of brown. However, we had a view of the river and PNC, and the bed was comfy. Room was quiet.
Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Pittsburgh.
