My parents and sister stayed here for two nights on our most recent trip to Pittsburgh, and I joined them for our final night. Their suite was clean, and came with some much-appreciated extra amenities, like cookies (brilliant!) and fruit and expanded cable. They're located right next to Walnut St. and a bus stop that'll take you to Pitt/CMU and to the downtown. Our only complaint, via my mattress-picky father: soft mattresses. Everything else was just lovely, and definitely not generic or bland like chain hotels.
