My mother and I came from the Bay Area to see the Giants play at PNC Park! We figured we would get a hotel very close to the park since that was the main reason for our visit. What we didn't realize is that this would be our greatest hotel experience to date! Our room faced PNC as we had asked for and check-in was faster than we are accustomed to. On our flight the lady sitting next to us who is from Pittsburgh said try Braddock's which is the restaurant inside the hotel. My mother and I ate out for almost every meal for our stay and Braddock's was BY FAR the best place we ate! Doesn't matter what time of day you owe it to yourself to try this place. The bar also helped set the hotel apart as they have a great selection of beer and an even better selection of bourbons, whiskeys and scotch. Honorable mention to the gentlemen Mike who was tending bar one afternoon. MIKE is the reason they received 5 stars from me! His knowledge of spirits and love for people while never seeming cheesy or trying to impress really tied the entire hotel experience together perfectly. If Mike wasn't our bartender we COULD come back as the hotel is wonderful but Mike made it so the Renaissance is our only hotel option in Pittsburgh NO QUESTION!
