Nice Hotel, Great Staff.

The front desk staff, especially Eli (?) were fantastic as was the bartender, Turtle and the valets were very prompt. The room was comfortable but I cleaned it with sanitary wipes anyway which I do in every hotel. Overall, it was a great experience and I would consider staying there again.

Stayed here for a couple of nights while going to a Pirates game. It was fine. Clean, nice staff and close to some decent food. It’s a bit outdated and price for valet parking was outrageous at nearly $40 per night with tax. You cannot park yourself unless you park on the street and good luck with that.

The place hit the spot. It provided exactly what we needed for our two nights stay while attending the U.S. Open. Clean. Convenient. A couple bars and Restaurants nearby. Air conditioning wasn’t working in the hotel bar, but it wasn’t terrible but if I had to dig it for something, that’s what I would do.
