Excellent food and service. The only problem was a car alarm that went off continuously starting at 2:00am in the hotel parking lot. I walked down to the parking lot personally and reported the specific car and license plate to the front desk. The alarm continued continued to go off throughout the night into the early morning into the 7:00 am hour. Not a good night sleep

Sleepless in Pittsburgh

The hotel was very new, comfortable and clean. The valet driver for the car service Marvin was EXCELLENT, he was super knowledgeable about the town and was a true gentleman. All that said, I would never stay there again because of the highway noise in the room. The highway which is 50 feet away from the hotel is EXTREMELY noisey all through the night making it very difficult to sleep soundly. I even tried the ear plugs but it did not help.

The traffic noise is so loud they provide earplugs (which are no help). We not only had the traffic side of the building but also were put right above the patio - where they left the music on all night even though no one was out there! The roof deck is nice, but that’s all it is - a roof deck. No food, no drinks, just some tables. There was a FREE shuttle service that goes within a 3 mile radius that no one told us about, so wasted money on Ubers. Parking says $22/day, but with taxes it’s $33! Would not recommend.

Very noisy if you are assigned a room facing the road and highway. You couldn't fall asleep and will be woken up midnight by the traffic outside. Water pressure is very low and unusable. The receptionists are always on the phone servicing other customers. You will be kept waiting.

Overall, we had a good stay! The hotel room was clean and comfortable, and we didn’t have any major complaints. The rooftop deck is definitely a highlight—super cute and a great spot to hang out or unwind. One downside was the lighting throughout the hotel. It has a very dim, date-night vibe, which is fine for the lobby but not so great in the rooms—especially when you’re trying to get ready for a wedding or event. The front desk mentioned this is a common complaint and offered to bring up an extra lamp, but we declined since all the lamps use the same low-wattage bulbs. A couple of other things to note: there’s no microwave in the room, but there is one available in the lobby. Also, right outside the hotel there are bike rentals, and you can easily and safely walk across the nearby bridge. On the other side, there’s a nice cluster of restaurants, a fun arcade, and a bowling spot—perfect for a casual night out. Would definitely recommend for a laid-back stay with convenient access to fun local spots.

Very loud and noisy

Our room was facing the highway and it was too loud. I was traveling with my family of 2 kids, so I couldn’t take their offer to switch to a single bedroom either. The associates were friendly and were willing to offer alternatives that couldn’t serve us though. So if you are travelling with kids make sure you don’t take the room facing the highway.

Lovely property. Loved the accessible rooftop with lovely view of the Hot Metal bridge. Location was somewhat isolated but we accessed the hotels free shuttle, that covers a 3m radius and found it to be perfect. We loved the proximity to protected walking/biking trials.

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!
