Cons:

There is no parking garage at this hotel. They use a secondary location across from them. They offer parking passes, but can not guarantee you will get parking.

Pleasantly Surprised.
Pros:

I was a little hesitant to book this because of parking and not knowing this area of pittsburgh all that well. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Hotel staff starting with front desk help (emmet??) was outstanding. Servers for breakfast also very polite. Room was fine, breakfast was fine, convenience store a block down, seems like there were restaurants in the area but one we tried to walk to was shut down because of construction. Parking was a concern but we checked in about 5 and did not have any problems. Pet fee was very reasonable. Really should have stayed a third night, but only planned a short trip. Overall, decent value.

Great hotel. Parking not the best.
Pros:

Room size and cleanliness was great. I loved all the room had to offer- shelves, a closet, a table to eat at, kitchenette, etc. Everything was great with the room. Breakfast was wonderful. There was lots of seating for eating and some to relax or work at. The staff was very friendly. The location is a nice walking distance to Pitt. They have lots of snacks for sale at the front desk and a convenience store right next door for anything else you might need.

Cons:

The parking garage was small. Checking in was confusing because we were unsure where to park to do so. Then we had paid for a "parking garage" spot for $22 but it was actually an open lot spot a little ways down the street. I don't believe I saw any directions beforehand about any of this. If this was sent, that's my fault.
