This is the 2nd time I've stayed in this hotel. This is a real business traveler's opinion:
POSITIVES:
The room is larger than some.
The bathroom and shower are large
Close proximity to University of PIttsburgh & Carnegie Mellon University.
The resturant, while pricey has an accessible lounge with good portions.
The staff has alsways been very friendly.
NEGATIVES:
Tecnology needs updated..
The internet connection in the room is slow
The TV is old (tube type without HD), and channel selection is somewhat limited.
There are 2 (TWO) phones in the room.
Power jacks for electonics is limited to 1 desk lamp outlet. ]
The desk chair was lop-sided.
The Hotel parking is a little pricey $20.00 overnight - but there's not a lot of options.
The hotel also has raised my nightly rate each of the four times I've stayed due to "fluctuating demand".
Overall, this is a nice hotel - close to campus/medical center, but if you can walk a few blocks or drive a mile, you might find better bargains.
