Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh West - Greentree by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, excellent breakfast, and free ev charger"

The Maverick by Kasa

8/10 Good

"This is a large vintage brick building renovated into a modern boutique hotel. Everything seemed-well maintained, clean and quiet. Our room was outstanding. Very spacious, light-filled with city views from generous-sized windows, sweet sitting areas, and a king platform bed, comfy and welcoming. Water, pour-over coffee and tea were provided. Bathroom was nicely appointed (love the Malin n Goetz products.). Off-site parking is nearby and for us on a Sunday was free. There is no front desk, check in is managed with codes sent remotely - this went very smoothly. The property managers checked in by text and responded quickly to all questions. There is a bar/restaurant under construction on the lobby floor - will be a nice feature when available. "
