| - This is a cute little area of Pittsburgh, not too far from the University of Pittsburgh. And it is not terribly far from State Route 8 and State Route 28. The hotel was also conveniently close to several shops and restaurants. Once again, any hotel that charges for parking will never get five stars from me. Like I always say, just increase the price for the night and say the parking is "free". However, I will say parking in the garage was nice, especially with the Wintery mix of rain and snow happening outside. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. My room was very clean as well and was very quiet, for a pretty busy area of town. Now a couple of the downsides of the room, one was I could not get the drapes to close all the way to keep the light out of the room. I had late meetings and wanted to sleep late, but the bright skies came shining through and it was hard to sleep. On top of the light of day coming through the cracks the curtains didn't cover, the bed was not the most comfortable. Despite the fact, I had medication that helps me sleep, I woke up many times uncomfortable. The walls of the surrounding rooms were quiet, however, the hallway noise was very loud beginning at about 8am. The hotel was convenient for where I needed to be, so odds are, I would probably stay there again, despite the issues and I thought it was a little pricey, and even the second night I stayed on points, and it was quite a lot of points for one night. Not the worst hotel I've stayed at by far, but a long way from the best one. Definitely not worth the price I paid, in cash or points. I will say that if you work out, you do get access to the LA Fitness that's in the same shopping center as the hotel. And I didn't eat breakfast either day, but it sure looked and smelled good and it was packed when I was leaving for the day.
