9/10 Wonderful! (1,327 reviews)

My husband and I stayed here while attending the Kenny Chesney concert. Everything was great! The convenience of the PGH transit subway was an added bonus. The Steel Plaza terminal took us right to the stadium for free.

7.6/10 Good! (2,724 reviews)

The hotel was very easy to get to from out of town, conveniently located a very short walk across the bridge to both Acrisure and PNC, stadiums and bars and restaurants downtown. Beautiful park and scenery. Nothing was too far to walk to or subway was super convenient and free. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Saur at the concierge‘s desk was absolutely wonderful. You can tell that he really likes helping people. Very kind man. The only thing and it’s totally personal is the brown colour in the hallways and curtains could be updated to a more fun colour. The gray on the 4th floor was a little better of a choice. Thank you for a great weekend
