Crazy rates during University events (ie. move in/move out, graduation wknds) so its tough to avoid the ridiculous prices during these dates. The convenience of location is what makes this a prime spot to stay. The gym is actually pretty decent if no one else is in there, and the pool is pretty funny - its like 5 feet long, 5 feet wide, and almost 5 feet deep - a cube of water to dip in, right in there basement garage area.

After my first stay here with family during Pitt’s admitted student day, I’ve chosen this hotel every time I come out to Pitt- four times now? It’s clean and there is a spa-like scent that wafts through the whole building. The location in the center of campus cannot be beat, and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable.
