Very difficult to het in and out of if you're driving in. Neat old building but definitely needs a better maintenance plan. Rooms are a little beat up. No blackout curtains and portable AC in the room. Mini fridge barley works. Water pressure in shower is the best I've had in a hotel so that's a plus. Close to strip district.

If you want to park your car and walk the city, this is the perfect location to do so. It is about a mile from everything. We walked to the Strip, the inclines, the Pirates game and never used our car once.

Property is a beautiful, historic building in a convenient location off the freeway. Our rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable with the exception of no central air. A loud, mobile air unit was in two of the rooms. The blinds in one room could not close because of a missing wand. Also the roku was not working. Keep in mind hotel room is near train tracks. Staff was kind enough to meet us at the parking area door to let us into the building so that we could conveniently check in (some parking is near an amtrak station).

I know there have been a lot of negative reviews about this place but we were willing to gamble because it was almost half the price of most other hotels we were looking at. We wanted something within walking distance to the David L. Lawrence conference center. This place was a wonderful experience for us from beginning to end. I must of messaged them at least a dozen of times with messages on Hotels.com (but you could also text them) to ask questions and they responded very quickly answering everything! The check in process was easy as it was just a text message and link. When we arrived, we had a working code to get through the doors, but there was also other doors at the main entrance for guests if the code did not work. There were 2 people at the front desk that were very helpful and answered a lot of questions. We also did not have bedding for the pull out couch and they quickly grabbed us a bag with fresh linens for it. During our stay, we Door Dashed a dinner and the driver did not show up at the lobby but downstairs in the residents parking lot. The kind person at the front desk helped us out by running downstairs and getting it for us because I have trouble with stairs because of my back. The apartment complex is half residents and half hotel stays. The residents were very pleasant and friendly and helped to open doors (because I was using a walker). Check out was a breeze and valet parking was always quick.

What a perfect spot for my first trip to Pittsburgh! The property is centrally located so I was able to walk around the city with ease, checking out restaurants, shopping, PNC park, and more. The room I stayed in was facing some highways which did create noise, but I prefer a bit of noise when I sleep. If you need quiet, you may want to request a room that is facing downtown.

The room itself was spacious, with huge windows which allowed for tons of natural light. They also appeared to be recently updated, so the walls were clean and the room felt new and fresh.

There is onsite parking for a fee if you have a personal car or rental. The washer and dryer in the room was a nice extra treat! I will definitely choose Placemakr when returning to Pittsburgh.

I thought this to be one of the most interesting places to stay, a mixture of old charm with modern day convenience, The room was updated and felt new, it was nice to have a regular size refrigerator. The different ceiling heights made it feel like 2 separate rooms. We didn’t have much sightseeing options due to our schedule but there seemed to be a good many things in walking distance. Check in was a little different, Parking is good once you figure out how to get to it. Staff was friendly and helpful thanks to Bobbi, Trika, Stephen and Destiny. We will stay there again.

I had a heap of trouble getting into my room and then the WiFi password sent to me didn’t work, I was starting to get a bit frustrated having to stand outside my room for so long as i just wanted to enjoy the little time I had at this incredible hotel, but… every time I came to reception I was met with more and more wonderful team members. I couldn’t have got annoyed even if I had wanted to.

I can’t say enough about how great the team was. I was always greeted with the biggest of smiles and they went out of their way to rectify the issue.

I wish I could have stayed longer, I will be back for sure.

Thank you once again.

Stayed one night for a concert. Completed the pre check-in process prior to arrival but never received an entry pin, so we went through check-in again at the desk. Discovered the issue for not receiving a pin was due to an issue with the lock for our door (they use Yale smart locks). An employee was working to fix it, but this delayed us being fully checked in by about 20 minutes. When we finally got our pin and could head up to our room, the lock still wasn’t working; we were about to head back to the front desk when an employee exited the room (he said he was working on the wifi). He assured us the lock was functioning and he was calling tech support to mitigate the WiFi issue, but we were okay to enter the room, leave our things and head to the concert. We stopped at the front desk prior to leaving and informed them the lock still wasn’t working, so they gave us the physical key for the lock and told us they would continue to work to fix both the lock and now the WiFi as well. We came back to the hotel around 2am and tried both the pin and key - neither worked. Again, we were about to head down to the desk when we realized the door was unlocked and we (or anyone for that matter) could just walk into our room. We found the lock partially disassembled on the kitchen island.
Staff was extremely pleasant and were working to fix things, but it was frustrating and concerning that our door was left unlocked for who knows how long while we were out.

As an Amtrak train traveler, the location is so convenient to train, bus, and local transportation. The building itself is a historic landmark related to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Be aware it’s a historic building which is probably the reason the A/C could not keep up with the hot and humid weather in Pittsburgh. The room was larger than I expected. Kitchenette was a plus, but I didn’t take full advantage since I only stayed one night. I would love to stay here again despite the A/C being loud and not as effective. The building is beautiful with lobby furnishings that give an homage to its railroading past. The Great Hall looks like a grand train station waiting area in the heyday of rail travel.

There are no signs that says it is the Property. It was very confusing. I finally saw a sign at a different parking area with the street number on it.
I did not feel comfortable staying there
My gut was telling me not to stay there.
When I did check in there was no one at the front desk so I had to call out before someone came to help me. They were not very friendly.
I do not recommended staying there.

The facility was immaculate. The one bedroom apartment was lovely and well appointed. The decor was boring and sad and the ugly LED bulbs didn’t help.

The check-in process was miserable. The doors to the front desk were locked. And no one was inside.
I wandered around, trying to find another way in, and finally got in.
I stood at the counter for a bit until a staff person came in. They did not greet me, look at me or do anything but check something on the desk. On their way out, I asked them about checking in. They said the check-in person was helping someone else outside.
A minute later, the check-in person came in, did not greet me, started working on the computer. I said that I wanted to check in and that the doors were locked and it took me a while to get in.
They said nothing, and asked me for my name so I could check in. They handed me a card with the codes to get in the room.
There’s a space on the card to put a number where one can get help if needed. It was blank.
These were the only interactions I had with staff people, and they were the worst and most dismissive I’ve ever encountered while checking in at any other facility.
Additionally, I have chronic illnesses that make me fatigued. Not being able to get into the facility and having to walk around to find a way in while carrying two bags exhausted me and made me dizzy.
I did not ask for accommodations because under normal circumstances I don’t need them for this amount of activity.

Pros: cRoom was clean and nice size. Kitchen had everything we have it at home except for food. Bed was very comfortable. Staff and valet were very helpful. We arrived to town early and were checked in at 1pm which was nice, because we wanted to walk to the NFL draft.
Cons: one side of the hotel is next to train tracks, Friday night we counted four trains and could hear the trains loud and clear. We counted 4 trains pass by our room between 11 PM and 3:30 AM, so we didn’t sleep most of the night. The hotel has virtually no amenities, no restaurant, and no free breakfast.

This property features beautiful historical architecture with newly renovated rooms. The building is a mix of apartments on the upper floors and hotel rooms on the lower floors. It’s a great venue if you prefer to cook your own food during your stay. If you want an amenity rich building including a bar and a restaurant, then this isn’t the place for you. There is very little staff present. The one bedroom apartment was stocked with everything that i needed, including toiletries, laundry detergent and softener, cooking and dish ware. It’s located a short distance from the Strip District and cultural area.
