Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"10/10"

The Landing Hotel at Rivers Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with an outstanding views of the city and rivers! I recommend this place! Now for the bad part! The casino that is attached to this hotel allows smoking and the ventilation is terrible! My eyes were very irritated by the smoke and if you walk through the casino you will smell like smoke and your cloths will need to be cleaned. It’s terrible!!! The hotel itself is non smoking and as long as you do not go through the casino you are good to go. Only problem is the restaurants and bars are in the casino. "
