Pros

On-site recording studio available complimentary for hotel guests

Quarterly cocktail program supporting local nonprofit organizations

Custom 12-inch vinyl record creation service available

Hearing accessible rooms with visual alarms and notification devices

Cons

35-kilometer distance from Pittsburgh International Airport

Limited parking options with valet-only service

“Here's my take: the location might feel off-center at first, yet it reveals itself as a serene base, particularly convenient to the universities. I found the staff notably gracious, enhancing a stay already supported by pleasing dining experiences and features like mixology classes. It seems a very solid choice, especially if you appreciate attentive service and thoughtful amenities.”
