The room was spotless clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable mattress and bedding. Front desk staff were very polite. As well as the valet service. The hotel was decorated festively for autumn. The hotel was a short walking distance to the University of Pittsburgh arena, where we went to see a concert. There are a lot of food venues nearby. Price was great. Can’t go wrong when staying at a Hilton hotel!

Stay away

There is a strong unpleasant odor coming off the lobby. The hotel is old and moldy. The sheets on the bed are old and used up. Not something you'd even pass down to a homeless. I left 5 minutes after I walked in. I got sick being there just for 5 mns.
