I love that the autograph hotels each have their own style and don't feel like a typical Marriott--it takes things up a notch. This one was no exception. We were very pleased with our stay and the in-house bar and restaurant was very nice, convenient, and tasty. I didn't know what to expect in this area but we were moving my son into the dorm and wanted to stay fairly close. The location was great since it felt safe and we could walk to various parts of the campus and the museums. I would absolutely book again if in the area.

Great stay!

I love the hotel. Everyone was super helpful and friendly to my daughter and I. The only issue I had, was on the last night my chicken was super salty. But the manager and waitress were great and took care of it. Shout out to them. Thank you.

The gentleman that I spoke with on May 8th to let him know that we would be arriving late was SO helpful and KIND. I do not know his name, but he deserves KUDOS. It would be nice to have clearer instructions to know that check is on 10th floor. Hotel is pretty nice. Valet attendant on May 9th was EXTREMELY nice as well.

Everyone at the hotel was amazing, helpful, friendly. The food I had for dinner and breakfast was delicious plus served with a smile. The hotel and room were immaculate, so inviting, would definitely stay again. The location was so convenient to walk to Pitt. Only negative is the valet was a bit steep at $42, others nearby were about 1/2 that price for valet. 5 stars overall.

Stained Sheets

We stay here often and always love the high end quality of this hotel. This time we were very disappointed. We only booked for one night. I always pull back the comforter to check the sheets and there were several stains on the sheet, as if they were never changed. Horrible experience. The bathroom was very clean, but it makes me wonder how often the sheets are changed.

We had a very disappointing experience at this property. Although our stay was comfortable, the housekeeping staff mistakenly discarded one of our personal belongings, thinking it was trash. While the housekeeping manager promptly investigated the matter the following morning, contacted us, apologized, and refunded the item's value towards our reservation, the behavior of the front desk staff was unacceptable. Their arrogant attitude and lack of responsibility when addressing our loss made the situation far worse. This experience has left a bitter impression, and we will not be returning to this property.
