First two days key card did not work on the third try I was able to get into the hotel. Motion sensor light would not go off not even with repeated tries after alerting the desk they put a black bag over the light. Hot water in shower stayed cold. Could not wait to get out of room 351 so I could go home and get shower. These problems were repeated to staff and they had no solution.

The room I had was well worn and had been smoked in at some point. Backed up to highway so I had to turn white noise way up. Shower pressure was a trickle. It looks nice in photos but they def put lipstick on a pig as far as the rooms go. The breakfast and lobby were very nice and clean but room left a lot to be desired.

I'm sorry to hear about your less-than-ideal experience with the room. It's always frustrating when the actual experience doesn't match expectations. We've recently undergone an ownership change for this hotel, and we're actively working on room renovations and overall property improvements in line with the Best Western brand. Please consider giving us another opportunity for the best possible experience.

Stayed a night here while.a family member was in UPMC. The lady at the front desk was very nice. Check in was easy. There are several place to eat very close by, some within walking distance. My room was clean, it had a micro, coffee maker and refrigerator. The bedding was clean and the bed was. Very comfortable. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. I plan to return to the area next will and hope to stay her again. I didn’t have time to eat before I left but the breakfast looked and smelled amazing!!!!

The decor and theme is very strange. Car, car, cars everywhere with a very drab color scheme inside and outside the room. Linens were not fresh and they did not appear to know how to make a bed. The bathroom was very dirty... both the floors and the shower enclosure. A very bad experience. We did not stick around to try the breakfast.
