“Recent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

Dear Trip Advisor,

My career allows me to travel extensively throughout the United States. It is a rare occasion that I am treated with such warmth, kindness and hospitality at a hotel as I am afforded when visiting your Crowne Plaza in Pittsburgh. My travels take me to Pittsburgh at least six times a year and I'm always treated on a first-name basis when arriving at your hotel.

The staff is so well trained both in management, housekeeping and hospitality in your dining room that I look forward to my next visit. I have stayed at several other Crowne Plaza hotels and have been extremely disappointed in the service, cleanliness and quality of food. Your Pittsburgh facility is a shining star.

Respectfully yours,
Tom Nardini

“Very satisfied with our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

The property seems to be a bit dated, but appears to be well tended and cared for by the staff. Everything was clean, and attractively decorated for the holidays. The service was professional and friendly.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We chose the hotel because of proximity to family. It served the purpose. Clean rooms, accommodating staff, and a nice lounge. Our room was updated and the hotel was quiet.

“Clean and Quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza because of the close location to family members over the Christmas holiday. The check in/out process was efficient and the front desk was friendly. Our room was on the top floor. We always stay on the top floor, as a quiet place to sleep is our #1 priority. The room was clean and only had one complaint - the coffee maker was missing a part. But wasn't a problem, since coffee was available downstairs. We took advantage of the breakfast offered downstairs. Ours was included in the price of our room. Breakfast included hot selections as well as baked goods and fruit. The food was good and the waiter was friendly. Our room did have a new t.v. and t.v. stand. Door swung out of the way so that viewing was accessible for everyone. Parking is plentiful.

Room Tip: Ask in advance for a room on the top floor. It really is quiet!

“Nice Hotel, but the carpet was dirty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was visiting family for Thanksgiving, and stayed one night in the Crowne Plaza. The front desk staff were friendly, check-in was quick. The lobby was bright and clean. The room was comfortable and although updated it seemed dark and tired.
The bed was comfortable, and had options for pillows. There was a little sleep kit - earplugs, face mask(like you get on a first class flight). The bathroom was clean, and small toiletries were supplied, although they were generic.
There was fuzz on the carpet. i reached down to pick it up thinking we dragged it in, but there was a tooth from a comb there with the fuzz. We didn't use a comb, so I have to say that the carpet was not vacuumed-gross. We checked in late and tired, and checked out as soon as we got up, so I didn't say anything about it.
We did not use any hotel amenities. Check out was also very quick and friendly.

Room Tip: They give a AAA discount if you are a member.
