We stayed here while a family member was being treated at UPMC. The hotel seems old. The front desk staff were friendly. The room contained a flat screen TV, refrigerator, microwave and free internet. The "balcony" is sort of a joke and the sliding glass door to get to the balcony is even worse. Thankfully there was a metal security... More

We loved it being in the city and just walking no cars. For the first... More

The hotel is very old, and it showed. In fact, I think I may have stayed there in my undergrad days 30 years ago, though with a different operator. Still, it was very clean and apparently well-stocked. The Panera Bread restaurant on the street level is one of my favorite chains, and I was pleased the elevator took me right... More

My family has stayed at this resort several times while visiting my daughter who is a student at the University of Pittsburgh. It is close to the university and they offer free parking and also a suttle to the University, UPMC, and the Convention Center. While this is not a fancy place, the rooms are comfortable, spacious, and clean. There... More

There isn't much to say about our stay at this hotel, good or bad. The room was pretty clean but not fancy. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was sufficient. There was a balcony that was shared with the room next to us, and that was pretty much the only thing that made us a little uncomfortable. More

This facility is near the UMPC hospitals, McGee's Woman's hospital is just up the street. They will give you discounted rate if your stay involves a hospital visit. Facility could use an update but for our purpose it was more than OK. Rooms appeared to be clean, bathroom dated but clean. Flat screen tv, free wi fi. Front desk staff... More

The only friendly people working in this hotel are the cleaning staff. The front desk personnel are downright rude and unfriendly. I came to Pittsburgh to visit an ailing friend who lay in bed in a nearby hospital. To then be rudely greeted by the hotel each time I made a modest request for some kind of help made for... More

Old, dumpy, out dated by 25 years, but the service was friendly and it was pretty clean. Highlights: Panera on ground level, excellent and free WiFi and free parking. If money is a concern this will do but overall avoid if you can. Ask for high floor to avoid highway noise. More
