It is a nice hotel, i stayed there for 2 days and overall experience was good.
Pros:
1) Close proximity to all schools, as i had to go to CMU so it was pretty convenient for me.
2) Hotel gives free drops and pickup from morning to late evening(6PM) which could save you some cab money.
3) They have Starbucks in the building.
4) They have a resturant which serve dinner and a small bar which remain open till midnight. But i would recommend to go elsewhere as there were pretty good resturants within 1-2 miles.
Cons:
1) No free breakfast.
2) Surrounding area was kind of ghetto, guess that's why they call it "Shady-side"
