Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
Worn appearing room, toilet paper in toilet making me question how much the room was cleaned ahead of time. Reminded me of a hostel. Honestly, wouldn’t pay more than $75 a night to stay there. Check-in was easy. Valet parking easy. Would not stay again.

Placemakr Downtown Pittsburgh at The Pennsylvanian
The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was great, the TV was nice but no local channels, I didn't use the washer/dryer but nice to have in the room. The only issue was road noise came through the large windows.
