| - Booked from a 3rd party website and got an incredible deal. For less than half of what it would have cost me to stay downtown, I got free parking, free wi-fi (worked perfectly fine for me) and a clean hotel room with a good view.
If you are passing through and need a cheap place to crash, or just want convenience over the downtown scene, this is a great deal. Only minus was that they didn't have a king/queen bed available and I was booked in a room with 2 double beds. Not too big of a deal, but the king would have been nice -- and is pretty standard to find.
Also, as a rewards member, even though i don't get points for booking through hotwire, they did give me a coupon for a free appetizer at the in-hotel restaurant, which turned out to be an $8 value.
Last time i went through pittsburgh, i stayed downtown at sheraton square and paid 2x as much, plus an extra $20 for parking and dealt with HORRIBLE rush hour traffic. This time, i opted for being a little outside the city, had no issues with the commute or traffic, and the whole trip just went smoothly.
