“A Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

My husband and I were looking for a quick, quiet night away from the kids and wanted to stay Downtown or on the North Shore close to the casino. I searched online for hotels and rates, and I am so happy that I did. I had never heard of the Priory before and really have nothing but wonderful things to say. We purchased the casino package, which given all of the additions, I feel came out to be a better deal than any of the other North Shore hotels. Our night away was a true escape. It all started with a very friendly gentleman upon check-in. The staff both days were so pleasant and helpful with questions and directions to places. There is a very small, quaint little bar that is nice to stop in before heading out for the night. The room was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I took note of the bathroom with it's nice tile work, no cracks, and exceptionally clean tub. The furniture and room decor was very tasteful. The high ceilings just added so much, making the room feel so spacious. The room appeared to be well maintained, no chipped paint, no wear on the carpeting, etc. Breakfast the following day prior to check-out was more than adequate, it was great! Wonderful meat and cheeses, everything you would hope for at a continental breakfast and much more! Delicious pastries that I found out came from their own bakery...(again...I never knew and hope to go there someday soon!). I was glad to see that check-out was later than most hotels allowed, which was really nice since we wanted a few more hours of our escape!! We were able to look around and saw their hall decorated for a wedding that night....what a beatiful atmosphere that would be for a wedding...it looked amazing! We will absolutely visit again, and I hope it is sooner rather than later! We had a wonderful time!!!

“The Priory is a great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

First the reason I chose the Priory was because it was an monastery that had been converted into a hotel. It is a great building to explore and if you asked the staff they will let you tour the Grand Hall which was once a church.

All of the North Shore attractions are a short walk from the Priory. The neighbor is a typical of an inner city neighborhood and the people are pleasant. I found Pittsburgh an easy city to get around in.

The hotel was clean, the staff was great, and I plan to go back some day.

“elegant, affordable and so worth the trip across the river”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Excellent staff, exceptionally clean, very comfortable, affordable and unique.

Part of the neighborhood going into that area of the North shore is not the best but the area is going through renovations but we had no problems at all.

This is a very comfortable and charming place to stay while in Pittsburgh just over the bridge from downtown.

We will be staying here from now on when visiting Pittsburgh.

“Quaint, unique hotel in a run-down area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I enjoyed the uniqueness and old-fashioned design of the rooms in this repurposed hotel. The hospital is within walking distance of Allegheny General. Overall a good stay. There is a small free parking lot available but there is a sign letting you know the hotel isn't responsible for stolen items. The hotel is a pretty poor-looking area of town, but the night was quiet and peaceful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend someone to stay here. I also really liked the toiletries they provided. They are of higher quality and the soap smells great.

“Our 2010-2011 New Year's Eve Wedding Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We are late posting this review, but it certainly isn't because we've forgotten about our wonderful wedding weekend at The Priory and Pittsburgh's Grand Hall. My husband and I have been reflecting on the most amazing weekend of our lives all year and we are finally getting this review in on our first year anniversary. Tim, the Manager at The Priory, and Heather at The Grand Hall went above and beyond to cater to all of our needs. We had close to 200 guests and had booked the entire hotel for our family and friends from out of town. Our guests are still talking about the staff and personnel, the beautiful facilities, and the fantastic food. We would highly recommend both The Priory and the Grand Hall for your special event, or to just to have a lovely stay in Pittsburgh.
