• Very convenient walking distance to eateries, coffee, hospitals.
• Room was less than perfect.

“Hotel very close to attractions, most in walking distance (5 blocks or less). Room was so so; broken tiles in bathroom near floor (from door jam on bottom of door) looked like it has been that way for awhile. Staff was OK, not overly friendly or courteous just there doing there job seemed like.”

“Receiving hotel confirmation for the Holiday Inn was a lovely surprise as the result of my Priceline "bid!" I know I can always depend on good service and quality at a Holiday Inn.”

• Great location. My daughter goes to University of Pittsburgh. I was visiting her.
• Don't like the parking. Have to pay $18 a day.

“I felt it was very comfortable and convenient for me. I just don't like paying for parking. However, that is not uncommon for three star or higher hotels located in cities.”

“I would not recommend anyone to stay at that particular Holiday Inn. I was never a fan of that brand of hotels to begin with, and remain convinced that they are nothing but a common stay hotel. Location was convenient, close to the hospital and downtown area. However, the front desk staff make you feel unwelcome. They weren't willing to offer me a double room even though I had requested it in advance and was confirmed that it would be provided. There was a clear lack of proactive and willingness to please.”

• Not a single thing.
• The poor quality of their linens, beds and towels.

“Although the hotel location was a plus, the service I experienced was among the worst that I have ever had. I do travel often and often stay at Holiday Inn locations, but their staff at the Pittsburgh Location was rude, inattentive and simply unprofessional. The hotel manager acted in a very unwelcome manner to the point that I was ready to leave and go to the next available hotel near by. She was so rude and luckily I was only staying there for one night.”

• The hotel was very conveniently located in Oakland near Shady Side. I was able to walk to nearby restaurants. The room was spacious & well appointed.
• The gym was a bit small and sparse.

“The hotel was very conveniently located near the University of Pittsburgh and other Oakland attractions. The room was very comfortable and well appointed and quiet.”

• Very clean, proximity to the U of Pittsburgh.
• Paying $18.00 for parking.

“Great location for a visit to see the U of Pittsburgh. The hotel is situated just behind the Alumni Building which is where the admissions office is located. We ate breakfast at the hotel. Very nice restaurant - enjoyed the food and had prompt service.”

• Great service staff, really impressive.
• Shoddy in places, things were broken, unnecessarily cheap in some services.

“This is a fine hotel for business travelers as there is a cabled broadband connection, though slow, and probably good for families, particularly of students enrolled at the nearby universities. It's clean, the staff is very professional and helpful, and the service level is above par.”

• Front desk service was excellent.

“The hotel was great overall we had to switch rooms because the first one smelled heavily of smoke (and was a non-smoking room), but they quickly got us a new room which was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful.”

• I liked the room.
• Parking.

“Parking was $17/day, we were not aware of this. The parking garage ticket to get in and out didn't work most of the time. When we were trying to leave to catch our flight we could not get out and the parking attendant was not there. The hotel clerk could not help us. We finally drove over some cones and used the entrance lane to get out. Came close to missing our flight. Very frustrating considering we had to pay $17/day to use the garage, the hotel clerk didn't seem to care at all.”
