| - Stayed here for one night after seeing a Pirates game. Nice hotel, excellent staff, decent room, very clean. As a HH Gold member, I got two free breakfasts ($30 value) at the hotel restaurant (just had to leave a tip). The hotel is actually a collection of connected buildings, which can be a little confusing - 2-3 for guest rooms and another for meeting / banquet rooms. We had a room on an upper floor - it was very quiet.
There is a big indoor / outdoor pool - during the winter I think they just block off the outdoor portion so you can still swim indoors. There is also a whirlpool / hot tub. The exercise center is big, and there is a cafe / shop if you don't want to eat at the restaurant.
There is a free shuttle bus to and from the airport (about 20 minutes away) which runs fairly often. When you arrive, just call and they'll send the shuttle if it's not already on the way.
The location is suburban/ industrial - which means no easy access to public transportation. If you don't have a car, you'll need a cab to get to/from downtown ($15 each way). The hotel shuttle does not go downtown. There are two city bus lines (31 and 38) about 1/2 mile away, but they don't run late and you will need to walk along a busy, narrow, hilly road to get to them. The fare is $2.50 each way for adults.
