"Nice large bathroom"

Loved the room layout. Hotel was clean and staff friendly. Breakfast was excellent, except the coffee was horrible. Luckily there are several coffee shops within an easy walking distance. The hotel is in an excellent downtown Pittsburg location.

"Nam Reunion"

Overall the hotel was centrally located for us. The room was well apppointed and the design worked well for us. The staff was very attentive to any request. The valet and bellman Oscar was very helpful. The dinner meal was very good. The breakfast selections were adequate for all in our group. We would recommend this hotel for sure.
