Grindstone-Rowes Run Vacations from ￥311,162

My family and I had a brief stay for a few appointments as we live over four hours away from Pittsburgh. We were so happy with our stay at the Crowne Plaza. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff were always so happy and welcoming. Very peaceful and the beds were super comfy! We come to Pitt often and this hotel will be our new go to hotel. A+ in my book.

Pros: cRoom was clean and nice size. Kitchen had everything we have it at home except for food. Bed was very comfortable. Staff and valet were very helpful. We arrived to town early and were checked in at 1pm which was nice, because we wanted to walk to the NFL draft. Cons: one side of the hotel is next to train tracks, Friday night we counted four trains and could hear the trains loud and clear. We counted 4 trains pass by our room between 11 PM and 3:30 AM, so we didn’t sleep most of the night. The hotel has virtually no amenities, no restaurant, and no free breakfast.

Self check in was easier than I expected. It was just annoying that I had to access my email every time we needed to unlock our room door. It was in a good location, close to many restaurants, but not within walking distance to many of the sights. There was no onsite parking, but we found a parking garage about a five minute walk away for $20 a day. The room was comfortable and clean, but note the bed is VERY firm, so if you’re a side sleeper, it’s not the most comfortable. Overall, it was a great stay and we really enjoyed our time at the maverick!

This was the place to be for the draft! Right in the the thick of it the views are incredible highly recommend it!

The staff was profoundly and knowledgeable. The rooms are spacious and clean. Multiple options for breakfast. Walking distance to Convention Center and stores/cafes/eateries.
