| - Due to a convoluted chain of events in the airline world, my flight from Pittsburgh to Denver via Atlanta was canceled the other night due to a snowstorm in Chicago. I'm still not quite sure how that happened, but I ended up spending a night at this DoubleTree courtesy Southwest/AirTran, and it definitely could have been worse.
The people at check-in were friendly and helpful. My room was large and super clean. The bed was very comfortable, and the water pressure was fantastic. I didn't go to the bar, but it looked nice. There's a cafe/store on the first floor, and they had surprisingly good pizza at a reasonable price, along with drinks (with and without alcohol) that you can purchase and bring to your room. The free shuttle to and from the airport was obviously a necessity, and both drivers I had were nice. This is too far from the airport to really be a convenient pre-flight hotel, but they did a good job. The free cookie was a nice touch, and WiFi worked well on the second floor.
This is the only time I've ever spent in Pittsburgh, so I can't really comment on the area, accessibility to tourist attractions or business centers, etc. I also can't comment on value for the price. But if you have to spend the night because of a blizzard 500 miles away, I'd definitely recommend it.
