| - The Convention Center is beautiful, and offers a stunning view from their floor-to-ceiling windows facing the river. It's clean, modern, and centrally-located with access to a variety of restaurants on Penn Avenue.
A parking garage is attached, however, it's almost ALWAYS full for a big event. If you plan to park there, get there early. And don't wait in the line at the paystations, you can pay with a credit card at the exit and a receipt will be printed on your ticket. Otherwise, you can park in the Pittsburgh Parking Authority garages over by the Greyhound Station on Penn.
There IS an ATM on the first floor of each side; had an employee tell me there were not any in the Convention Center, but that is def not true.
The Convention Center is LEED certified and has won awards for being totally green. Here is my gripe - totally green, but still using paper towels and old-fashioned hand dryers in the bathrooms? And heaven-forbid you want to bring your own bottle and fill it up with water at a fountain, those fountains are few and far between (and the water in the bathrooms is set to a warmer temp for hand-washing). Come on, Convention Center!
