I had never stayed at this Courtyard before but was the best stay at a Courtyard I've ever had. They went out of their way for me and allowed me to check in way eariler then normal. They also were really nice to my daughter and called her princess the ENTIRE time we were there because she said this was a princess castle. It's stays like this that are the reason I choose to stay at Marriott properties and not stay at other hotels. I will stay at this single Marriott every time I go to Pittsburgh. Cost was not any higher then almost any other hotel that was not a dump in that area. The GM of the hotel was also there the day I checked out and I got to pass along how great the stay with them was.
