My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were adequate for our needs, they weren't as comfortable as I had hoped. The heavy perfume smell to cover up cigarette odor was a downside. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with the staff being some of the kindest and most helpful individuals I've encountered. The location was very convenient, with various amenities and attractions within walking distance. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially thanks to the good food and service, despite some minor parking confusion. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk from Pitt, and the room was one of the cleanest I've ever seen. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout my visit, making me feel truly welcome. The dining experience was very good, with a nice selection of quick offerings. However, finding parking was a bit confusing, and there were some issues with the heat in the room.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were extremely comfortable and clean, though they didn't get cold enough for the heavy comforter provided. The service was exceptional from Front Desk to Housekeeping to Restaurant staff, but the check-out person could have been more attentive. The location was perfect for exploring the university end of town and being within walking distance of Pitt. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially for breakfast. Overall, a great value for the money.
