Stayed here on our return to Pittsburgh. Checked in around 830pm and the front desk clerk was named Miguel I think. Both my name and my wife's name were on the booking.

We stayed here last week when we came into town for a concert. Everything suited us just fine. Our room was very nice, staff was nice and helpful, breakfast was great. They do provide shuttle service to various locations around town. If that doesn't work out, there is a people mover station right around the corner. Overall, this was the... More

From our arrival to departure, this hotel provided us with outstanding, top-notch service. The valets, maid, breakfast person, and desk clerks were happy, cheerful and eager to make our stay a pleasant one. It would be very hard to beat the service provided at this hotel. The rooms were great and the central location made it easy walking distance for... More

We stayed here for DEMF/Movement Fest for 4 nights. Such a great stay! I stayed at the Westin across the street last year for DEMF, after seeing they were charging upwards of $380/night this year decided to book here, and have to say I was MUCH happier with my time at Holiday Inn. Sure the Westin has nice rooms, but... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The room was very tiny and the bathroom ceiling was about to cave in from the many patch works from trying to repair it. The air conditioner was an old fashion one that was sticking out of the window. The only way to park your car is through Valet and there is... More

Thank you for letting us know how much you enjoyed the service our staff provided. However, it does upset me to know that our facilities and amenities did not meet your expectations. We are an older property and we hope to be going through a renovation really soon. You are correct, with the Westin next door, we need to offer... More

Based upon other TripAdvisor reviews, I went against better judgment and decided to stay downtown fairly close to Comerica Park for a ballgame. Little did I realize that an electronic pop festival was happening in the city and virtually all the guests were drunken 20 somethings puking everywhere in the hotel from the lobby to the elevators to the hallways....

We visit the East side of the state a couple times a year. Usually we stay near the Henry Ford Village. And then travel downtown for anTigers game or Wings game.

First, please do not try to tarnish the reputation of our hotel by making accusations regarding bed bugs. You have never mention that previous to this social media post, so it cannot be true. I would be more upset about that if it were the case because bed bugs can cost you a lot of money. Moving on, it is... More
