Each suite includes a full kitchen, living area and sleeping area with a bathroom. They also offer a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning.\n\nThe staff was friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out and I liked the fact that you can't enter through the front entrance of the hotel without a room key card, a nice security feature. Plus, its prime location across from PNC Park and within waking distance to Stage AE, Heinz Field and the Carnegie Science Center is a huge advantage once you're settled in. If you want to venture downtown, don't worry. The rail station is just up the street too.\n\nWith so many benefits, one would think the price per night would be outrageous, but I was shocked to find it a an extremely affordable value, comparatively speaking. You will pay $18 for parking and cannot leave your car in their private lot beyond check-out, but that is par for the course for most hotels around the area."^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
