Stayed there with my family just before Christmas. Very clean, modern, and friendly staff. Pool and hot tub were very good, although the pool is a little small. A nice retail district with several restaurants is within walking distance. Relatively easy to find from the Parkway (I376) using their directions. The train did wake us up once during the night.

Checked in for 1 night over new years and the fromt desk staff was pleasant. One of the room keys did not work so had to wait in line again to get it fixed but no big deal. The hotel charges $14 for parking which I am used to paying but was surprised at this location by the train tracks. There is a shuttle but had no time table, were told a 20 minte wait to go up to the other end of southside Carson St, so decided to take the 15 minute walk instead. The room was modern and mostly clean. The sheets for the pullout had stains and a couple holes in them. The room seemed a bit dysfunctional, TV was very awkwardly located in the middle away from both beds. I will not return unless the Holiday Inn Express up the street was not available and needed to be in the southside.

This was a fairly new hotel when we stayed there in 2011. I had wanted to try it ever since I saw it being built, when I traveled to Pittsburgh for business. Never got the chance until my wife and I stopped there during a trip. I was not disappointed; excellent location and quality room and service. Great location to access the attractions that Southside has to offer. I think this is one of the best plces to stay in the Pittsburgh area. Close to the center of town - right across the Hot Metal Bridge gets you there; however, not in he midst of downtown congestion as much. Tour the local area of Southside as well; very interesting local places!

Stayed here on New Years eve. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience. Although the hotel was full, their services were quick and efficient. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.
