| - I would like to crib a format from Daniel B.
stayed with friend who had booked the room. they stayed there for a conference, and it seemed to work for that -- when they got fed! which they did not, on at least one occasion. He's extreemly laid back and had my wheels to go out.
Stayed on 1Xth floor. it was, indeed, a great view.
Pros
===
Elevators were fast.
Rooms were clean.
River view was great!
Beds, sheets, and pillows were comfy.
Free WiFi
Great location. really great location
Easy fun walk across the Roberto Clemente bridge to PNC Ballpark
Housekeepers very keen to clean room
Valet was less hassle than you would fear, I actually got why you might have valet
Neutral
======
Front Desk Service, carpet in halls, coffee in room
Cons
=====
housekeepers very keen to clean room
Free WiFi, that worked mostly, but not fast
Sounds were permeable, you could hear everything in the adjacent rooms and hallway. which could have been fun, but was just slightly creepy, and brother was not into creepy
Parking was valet only and a hassle
Shower had to be turned on with you in it, so you were going to get a blast of cold
No comfortable chair in the room, except the toilet
Desk chair had rips in it
Room was cozy at best, tight at worst.
Reflections + Bonus insight
=========
It is like the type of hilton that I hate, you have to stay there, but you don't like it. And, low and behold! Shazam, on an old map at station square we find out it used to be a Hilton! (and, I can see it on yelp too, now that I look).
TL;DNR
So, great location, stay if you have to, and try not to pay too much, but you will. service will be uneven, and the location really great.
