The staff went over and above, they were the best! However, we had a number of issues, from our phone not working & couldn’t be fixed. The hotel keys often did not work. The door knob had to be fixed. The tub drain was a problem eventually got fixed and we were not told that housekeeping was every other day and they never even gave us a new soap. the garbage would pile up in the waste basket. When you enter the hotel with suitcases, you have to walk up two short steps of stairs we were senior citizens and no one even helped us. Unfortunately even though I’m Hilton Honors, I would never recommend staying here

The hotel is convenient and walkable to Pitt and the UPMC hospitals, so there’s that. And it’s clean and near lots of cheap restaurants, but it’s still a bit dated on the inside and the breakfast food is pricey and fair at best. However; I’d stay again if I needed to be in the middle of Oakland. Also, you can get to the Pittsburgh airport easily. It’s four block walk to the Forbes and Chesterfield stop to catch the 28X airport flyer bus (outbound) for $2.75. It’s a 1 1/4 hour trip approximately. A Uber was going to be $65-70 during non-peak hours.

I was extremely disappointed when I received the credit card statement that i was charged $40.00 for parking. At check in the desk clerk told me the parking charge was $35.00. I was not told the correct price for parking at check in or your clerk is not up to date on your extra fees. Either way I would like to see a $5.00 credit on my credit account. Thank You
