I've traveled here quite a few times and found it to be old and dirty. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be improving. On my recent visit the guestroom was generally fine, but the bathroom was just gross. There was clomps of hair on the dryer, the showerhead looked corroded, the shower curtain had some filth on it that looked like snot.

They have this goofy green initiative to mask their cheapness. The room requires a key or other plastic card to keep the motion sensor going to keep the room hvac and lights going. They only give you two big bath towels if you're in a king guestroom.

When I travel, I don't travel to be green, I travel for business and leisure. Perhaps I'd want to be green if I were camping, but everything the hotel is doing is simply to save a buck.

The iron and ironing board were filthy too. What irks me the most is that these are easy appliances and hardware that can be swapped out quite simply.

Additionally the television's software package is quite old and doesn't work with the modern LodgeNet apps. The front desk staff warned me it probably wouldn't, but come on, keep up-to-date with things like this.

To read other reviews that this place is available on Priceline and Hotwire should be everything you need to know about this hotel.

We were there for the Pittsburgh World of Wheels, and this was the host hotel with a special rate which was very substantially discounted, from $200 a nite, however, that's where it ended. After that, they just "nickel-dimed" us: Parking is $20. a day. Room service has an extra $2.50 delivery fee added, on top of the tip (that's what a tip is for, delivering the meal to the room, right?) so a Burger n fries $20. (no burger is worth that...try $8.) Breakfast was $60 for 4 people. (come on folks, eggs and pancakes not a large investment) Internet wifi was $9.95 per day (lucky I brought my hot spot). Dinner downstairs at the Fish Market was $80 for one person. And the "new fangled stick your key in the wall" to make the lights and heat work totally uncessary. Lucky they don't charge you a "toll" to go through the revolving door. Go across the river or through the tunnel to a more reasonable hotel, where there's complimentary breakfasts, free wifi and free parking and leave the Westin to think of another way to nickel dime you to death.

You know what? This is a fantastic hotel, except one thing. It smelled like bad body odor.
I asked them to put air freshener in my room while I went out for dinner.

It did not help. It was not my room specifically that smelled, but the whole floor.

Anyhow, I got used to it, and slept okay. Other than the smell, it is a nice place.

A fairly average Westin with a decent room. The bathroom didn't live up to Heavenly standards with old fixtures. Worst part is the tub didn't drain well so I enjoyed a shower with water up to my ankles. But if you're in town for business and are Starwood its a great location.
