The room was very clean and people very nice. They cleaned the room during my stay which some places don’t these days. Down side-mattress was too soft, water pressure just adequate, lighting in the bathroom positioned so I had trouble seeing to do stuff at the sink. They did accommodate my allergies with fragrance free sheets and do not use drier sheets but do use fabric softener, so I brought my own pillow and wore pajamas that covered most of rest. Location is noisy but that did not really bother me. Some people might object to noise. They did give you ear plugs. TV worked well but there was no guide to the channels so had to just scroll through to find what I wanted.
Love the room and its cleanliness. Service staff was professional and prompt in response. The artefacts salvaged from US Steel mill demolished in 2018 integrated well with the hotel's modern design and invoked good understanding of the history of Pittsburgh. We love our stay!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The design and esthetic of the hotel was great, loved it. I did not like the cold floors in the rooms, the rooms need to be carpeted. Limited options for vegetarian options on the menu.
The hotel was ok, it is near the highway on one side. That makes it noisy. But they left us ear plugs in our room. Nice touch. The complex is nice and I brought my dog so it was a nice walk and scenic near the water.
We had a great stay, the room was wonderful and exactly what we were expecting.
Although we were disappointed with the fact we were woken up at 6:15 am by loud construction noises - banging, hammering etc. We were really hoping that our one night away (as parents) to sleep in.

Nice stay at a great location! Hotel room is clean and spacious, and hotel staff is very pleasant.
It was a good hotel, would stay again. I wish it was a little cleaner, and that it offered complimentary breakfast other than just buying food at the restaurant
