“This hotel makes a distinct impression with its prime placement on the university campus, a significant draw for those connected to Pitt or CMU. The recent renovation is evident, lending a fresh, quiet comfort to the rooms and common spaces, though morning food service lines can extend. What truly stands out, however, is the palpable sense of thoughtful service, particularly the proactive assistance from staff that goes beyond the expected.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uspennsylvania
