A major warning - this hotel permits smoking. Our floor smelled as though a chain smoker had walked up and down the floor at night. When I asked the front desk if it were legal to smoke in Pittsburgh hotels he said, "um, not really but they let people smoke on a few floors in this hotel." Otherwise, the hotel was ok except the carpets are badly stained and the walls have some kind of water damage with visible bubbling and buckling of the paint.
