Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown
Large dated hotel, smaller rooms and not great sound proofing. Super friendly staff, great location to access local amenities. Only valet parking was available for a hefty fee. Clean surroundings and felt incredibly safe and inviting to explore around town at any hour.
