PROS:
1) Grandiose & beautiful! The lobby and event spaces are ultra elegant and lavishly decorated.
2) Located about a mile from The Strip District & The Andy Warhol Museum (http://www.yelp.com/biz/andy-warhol-museum-pittsburgh#hrid:14tbNs1l3MxcHTf54sxmVA).
3) Good hotel restaurant (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-terrace-room-pittsburgh#hrid:A3llriK1R60EMXrlG2TZaw/src:self) & full Starbucks store located inside.
4) Free apples at the front desk.
CONS:
1) Limited services & no shuttles to the airport, or any other parts of Pittsburgh!
2) Strange Downtown location. The Downtown area of Pittsburgh is catered towards the corporate class; everything in the area closes after business hours at 6pm! Get ready to take a cab everywhere!
Overall: A-OK if you're staying here for business on an expense account, but if you're in Pittsburgh looking for fun things to do, pick a cheaper hotel in a better location.
