This hotel a long time ago was a large mansion that’s been converted to a hotel. The architectural styling looks good from that long ago era. But the room we stayed at was showing its age with scratches on the doors and walls, a creaking floor when we walked on it, a bathroom door that’s hard to close. The room was not that quiet during the night as the walls aren’t sound proof as occupants of a neighboring room was overheard very loud with their talks and music, so I had to put on my earplugs, but good thing they did quiet down after 11pm. Parking spaces are limited so I had to park along the perimeter fence. There is no onsite restaurant other than the breakfast option that’s available in the morning and the drinks from the bar, also there are no food vending machines so I had to go offsite for food or get food delivered. The bed was comfortable and at checkin I was asked if I wanted the room to be serviced or go with no service, I didn’t see any difference in the cost. I’ll probably won’t stay here again and will stay at a more full service modern hotel.

I didn’t not stay at the property. Was booked for me through Expedia to find out it was overbooked and I was left stranded and could not resolve the issue in time and costed me 3 times the amount once found a place on my own in the city. From what I saw from outside the mansions at fifth ave looked beautiful but could not experience it. Have used Expedia many times before but never experienced this issue. I feel a nice comp for part of the mess up would be greatly appreciated.

Wonderful and historic mansion
The hotel was a fantastic look into mansions at the beginning of the 1900's. The woodwork and design was lovely, and the owners did a great job of converting it to a boutique hotel. There were a few quirks that probably could stand some updating, the elevator is very slow and doesn't go to the third floor, but for the money it was a fantastic stay in a beautiful atmosphere and we had a wonderful time. The breakfast and the bar in the evening was lovely also. Definetely will come back!

Interesting yet lacking a few niceties!
Really interesting hotel to stay at; I love the Victorian charm! The bed was comfortable and had a choice of three types of pillows to choose from. There is a small elevator to the second floor so one does not have to take the stairs. I was not impressed with the attitude of the person(s) behind the check-in desk, they did not seem to go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Definitely could have been nicer and more attentive. The king size bedroom could have been nicer with a more plush, inviting chair and a table/stand to place the small refrigerator on it instead of the floor! The TV was way too small for such a big room and the picture did not fill the screen but had a border around it. There was no coffee/tea, water station to bring a drink to the room and the coffee maker in the room, there was no complimentary bottle water to make the coffee/tea with other than using the bathroom sink water. UGH! There was no opportunity to buy snacks or drinks (maybe alcohol at the bar) so if you did not buy a drink while you were out, you would go thirsty unless a server overheard a conversation with the person behind the check-in desk and offer to give you tea service, which was very nice!

I thought the receptionist could have been friendlier and more willing to answer a question. And I was disappointed that I wasn´t given a room in the main building, but at the house next door.

Beautiful historic hotel
Beautiful historic building with friendly staff and a good price in a location that worked well for us. Only complaint is the mattress was a bit saggy. We will stay here on future visits to Pittsburgh. Recommend!
