I usually look for the westin whenever im traveling. On my recent trip to Pittsburgh I booked this one specifially because of the close proximity it had to PnC park since I was catching a game. Yeah its in downtown and its a huge hotel but this downtown is not really the hangout spot in pittsburgh. Theres a couple of restaurants and I counted like three lounges after walking round a bit but none that caught my attention. Teh hotel itself is ok not that super clean like the Aloft hotels. The hallway carpets were stained and my bathroom was clean but outdated. At least the bed was comfy and free of bedbugs(I check for that as soon as i enter the room a pet peeve of mine). It's huge so whenever your trying to talk to someone at check in theres always a line. Next time I will probably look for its sister hotel Aloft because this seems to be the better out one among the sheraton,westin and Aloft. Oh yeah you have to pay for valet no private lot this runs about 20 bucks a night.
