all in all, a decent hotel for a night or two if being in the heart of pittsburgh is important to you. parking is valet only, under the hotel, and $22/night, which isn't bad considering you are in the heart of downtown.
the lobby isn't busy at all if you're checking in/out at an off time, but it definitely picks up some when it's a rush hour. the rooms are clean and surprisingly spacious (i've stayed in similar hotels in other cities and felt like i was in a shoebox).
one complaint, there isn't any late night dining options on site. we returned around 11:30pm and the 7/11 connected to the hotel was closed and the bar appeared to only be serving drinks.
the hotel is across the street from a station for the free light rail line which makes around easy!
