“THE place to stay in Pittsburgh!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2011

My husband and I were in Pittsburgh for the NHL Winter Classic on New Year's Day. We spent three nights here and loved it. We had the Mr. Boggs room which faces the street and over looks the park across the street (in the picture, the 3 windows on the second floor are Mr. Boggs room). The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The entire Inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Karl and Jeff are wonderful hosts. We had made dinner reservations at a local restaurant, but upon arrival at the Inn were told that Jeff prepared a special New Year's eve dinner for the guests. He is a wonderful chef...dinner was delicious. The next morning he prepared a special New Year's Day breakfast of quiche and potatoes, in addition to the cold, every day breakfast items the normally serve. The restaurant is only open for private dinners. I suggest taking bottled water, wine/beer, sodas & snacks with you, as there is nothing "right there" to get those types of things. Free parking on the street and easy walk to downtown and Heinz field. Highly recommend!!

“Great Rooms Terrible Breakfast”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

Breakfast was cold food on a buffet. Coffee difficult to find. Very unappetizing breakfast. I travel to B&B's just to stay at them, and I expect a good meal in the morning. Extraordinarily disappointing.

Rooms were fantastic. Lots of character. Very clean. We had our choice of all of them and took the smallest because the decor was so fantastic.

Also very representative of the old days in Pittsburgh and worth a tour whether you stay or not.

“Lovely, but not as advertised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is a lovely Inn with beautfiul rooms. The innkeepers know the area well and are helpful with suggestions.

The drawbacks are that we saw the owners only twice during our stay, there was no restaurant despite the advertising, and the rooms off the main upstairs foyer are quite noisy when other guests are talking or moving luggage since the floor is wood. The breakfast is adequate, but not anything exciting.

“Friendly, Fun and Very Cool Place To Stay near Downtown”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

My Art Institute of Pittsburgh class reunion was looming and I was having problems finding a place as a Steeler's game and Parent's weekend for all surrounding colleges was that same weekend. Downtown rates even at Holiday Inns were absurd.I used to live on the North side until after graduating many years ago, so thought I'd try it again. The Aviary is close and relatives would be coming down from Meadville for a day visit.

Returning to PIttsburgh over 30 years later was a delight...Jeff and Karl were so very nice and assured me they would have a place, even with the game in town. When I arrived they gave me a better deal staying in the main Mr. Bogg's room. Clean, well decorated and cool view of the park and downtown. Continental breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Directions from both made it easier to navigate to my reunion and best restaurants and times for Andy Warhol Museum. I am thinking about moving back to Pittsburgh to be closer to family and friends after 25 years in California. I know I'll be calling for reservations again with two great hosts with beautiful accommodations.
