    Pros Got upgraded to a corner suite Makeup mirror Impressive selection of beverages at the front desk Big gym When you ask at the front desk for shower caps and vanity kit- they give several. Cons Only one recumbent bike and it was broken. No sign indicated it was broken. I reported it to the front desk. At first she didn't do anything so I stood there until she wrote it down. She said she would have someone look at it and at least put a sign on it. The next day it was still broken and no sign on it. Biking and working the knees are important to me while on travel. The Colts were staying here- how can you have a broken piece of gym equipment?! To call downstairs I had to use my cell phone. The no heat was my big issue. They sent someone and it seemed to get a little better (70s instead of 60s?) . But still cold. They offered to change my room but it was 11:30pm and I was leaving the next day. Super disappointed. I requested the engineer return. Waited and waited. I also requested additional blankets. When I went to check out, my key did not work. Went down to front desk. He gave me a new key. Went back up. Key didn't work. Maid felt sorry for me seeing me twice trying to get into my room and let me in. Door was set to open so I had to pee with the door basically open. Got my stuff and checked out. Would not stay here again. Will note my cousin also stayed here and had a different experience.

    Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. Very clean, friendly staff and the gym is wonderful. The bar and Grill in the lobby is good and open late. The standard rooms are basic but everything else is high quality. I had to order room service one night for dinner during a really bad snowstorm and it was delicious. The arugula and ancient grain salad was fantastic and I love the charred vegetables. The Caesar salad was basic which is fine and the cauliflower kimchi fried rice wasn't too shabby. The full portion of the fried rice is massive. It must've weighed like a pound and a half. I ordered the full portion for all of these and the total came to $55 with the tip.

    Great location right in downtown, steps from the rivers and plenty of restaurants. The gym here is one of the best I've seen in a hotel, with a full TRX room and plenty of machines (just missing a StairMaster to make it perfect). Rooms are clean, comfortable, and practical with fridges included. Staff is efficient and the lobby/common areas are modern and inviting. Overall, a solid and convenient stay.

    Overall, it was a great hotel. You can see it was a high-end brand in the past, but nowadays, certain renovations are not bad at all. Many businesses within the same building. Easy self park or valet for a fee. Rooms are good, bathrooms with small shower tub. Comfortable beds and good size tv. Ok restaurant bar on site. The best thing is its location. Walking distance to many good restaurants and some bars. Seems everything downtown Pittsburgh closes early during the week (10 or 11pm). Only one bar closes 1-2am in the area. All in all good value good stay experience.

    Walking into the hotel, I noticed how updated and clean the place was. I was greeted nicely by the check in staff. The room was spacious and had great amenities in the bathroom. Also great additions are the restaurant and bar, plus connection to the Civic Center. With it perfectly located downtown, we were able to enjoy the Heinz Museum, Primanti Bros, and steal city views from the civic outdoor patios.

    $3 if you take coffee to go. I thought it was a joke at first..

    Outdated and old! I will not be staying here again. They need to rip out the moldy old carpet and renovate everything. I'm shocked that this is a Westin because they are usually nice, but not this one! The only thing that looked nice was the lobby. Everything else was awful. Even the breakfast was bad. They told me with my titanium elite status I only get the cold breakfast, if I want anything hot then there's a $4 surcharge. I was disappointed because every other BonVoy hotel I have stayed at always provides a very nice breakfast and takes care of their elite members. I was even more shocked when they said there's a $3 surcharge just to take your coffee to go! Disappointing. But I will say, all the employees were very nice and good people.

    Free water, except one was already open and empty

    Some disappointing aspects with the customer relations. The hotel is a nice hotel. The rooms are a little old, but the bed is super comfortable, although it looks a little messy when you enter the room! When I checked in, I was not greeted as an elite titanium member even though I use the Bonvoy elite line. The gentleman that checked me in could not provide us with connecting rooms, although I did request that prior to our arrival! I had to ask upon check-in about the breakfast that we are entitled to and I was told that it is only a continental breakfast because they are a convention hotel, which is not listed on the website as if it's a Westin but a convention hotel you don't get the full breakfast ? That is nowhere listed on the titanium benefits.! The elevators, although very modern for floor selection, do not give you the option to choose which elevators you want to go in it assigns you an elevator once you select your floor on the outside of the elevators -so when 10 people pack in the same elevator with you and normally you could get out and go to an other elevator that has nobody in it, this hotel does not have the option so you have to stop at every floor- The parking garage for self Park is two levels down, and if you're not a spatial Relations specialist, good luck getting into those parking spaces ! Overall, very disappointing I would not stay at this hotel again. One of the other major issues I had was the rooms provide two bottles of water that are in aluminum reusable containers. If you need another bottle of water, it's six dollars however one of our bottles of water was already empty and placed back on the serving tray, which makes me think that obviously the room was not cleaned properly because when I picked it up, you could tell it was totally hollow, and the seal was broken. -

I stayed here one night because I thought the trendy Bloomfield neighborhood would provide a nice change-of-pace from the more established downtown area. I was also planning to drive to upstate New York and thought this would be a convenient location for a faster getaway. Well, a sudden winter snowstorm forced me to cancel the side trip to New York, and I ended up spending very little time exploring Bloomfield because I took a long nap in my room after a sleepless night in the previous hotel. Even though it was bordering on pointless to shift to this hotel, I still enjoyed the studio I reserved for $152. There was a comfortable king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a corner sofa, and a 360-degree swivel flatscreen TV. It was a lot of amenities I didn't need, but hey, it was freezing cold, so the apartment set-up made it feel cozy. One other advantage was a sizable lot to park my rental SUV. Even though they offered a happy hour and continental breakfast, I skipped both. Instead I braved the cold and just strolled on Baum to find a decent greasy spoon for dinner and a quiet gay bar for a drink. Not a bad stay, and I'd consider a return to explore Bloomfield.

The lobby area was really pretty and so much larger than it appears from outside. Free breakfast! The pool was nice and heated. We had it to ourselves both times we went in it during our stay. The hotel is located is a great area. Cons: It seems like the furniture was poor quality. Multiple times during the stay there was a panel that kept falling off the table in the kitchen area. The parking is pricey. I absolutely hate paying for parking. I wish this came with the hotel stay as it was also already priced on the higher end. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. I would probably pick a day that didn't fall on a holiday weekend for a less expensive stay.

Here's our experience. 1) Check-In: One unique aspect of this hotel is that the check-in is on the top floor with a beautiful view of Pittsburgh. Take the elevator to the 10th floor and two check in stands are right when the elevator doors open. The entire check-in experience took about five minutes. The woman helping us was efficient, personable, and even gave us a walking map of the area. She also gave us two drink vouchers to use on house beer, wine, or a mocktail at the hotel bar. 2) Rooms: Our larger room was on the 4th floor with two queen sized beds. The room corridor was wide, making it look much larger. There are plenty of outlets everywhere, lights, a TV, a Keurig machine, a fridge, and more. The bathroom was spacious with a toilet room with a closing door inside, a large shower, and Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The beds are semi comfy and come with lots of pillows. 3) Amenities: There's no pool, but there is a gym with machines and weights. There's also a small rooftop terrace with a view of the Cathedral of Learning, work areas, and more. There's valet parking and a cheaper parking garage not connected to the hotel across the street. One interesting aspect of the hotel is that it's on the site of the Syrian Mosque, a large music venue. A recording studio, guitar, etc. inside the hotel are all nods to the music venue. 4) Service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. After a day of exploring, our room had a nice card with chocolate, macarons, and raspberries, and nice water for us. My wife forgot her toothbrush and the front desk gave her a free one from behind the desk! 5) Neighborhood: It's next to a number of museums and monuments and the Cathedral of Learning, which is worth a tour to see their Nationality Rooms.

We've had great experiences with other Hotel Indigos and we were willing to stay a bit outside of the city to stay at this trusting brand, but we were very sorry we did. While the hotel appears decent on the exterior the rooms are anything but clean. Our trip started with arriving to what appeared to be an okay room. The room/hall had a vague scent of mold but that as the least of our worries. When I went to put my water bottle in the fridge I noticed there was a McChicken from a previous guest. The fridge also smelled so it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Upon further inspection the room had multiple stains on our bedding as seen below. I travel often and I have never been in a hotel room so dirty. The floor had clearly not been swept in between guests as evidenced from a penny and some crumbs found near the trash can. In addition to the dirty interior the bathroom and shower were not cleaned. The shower had hair from a guest that was neither myself or my traveling partner. There were also cracks in the walls throughout the bathroom. In addition to the disgusting room the hotel also employs one person for the Valet. The lines to get your car were consistently long and for $32 per night it really didn't seem worth it. If this were a cheap hotel I would simply say you get what you pay for but it's not. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. While the area surrounding the hotel is decent, the hotel itself is not worth it. You can pay a similar amount for a hotel in a more central location with better cleanliness. The only reason the review is 2 stars instead of 1 is because the AC worked very well and we were visiting during a heat wave. Overall, we will not be returning to this Hotel Indigo.
