  1. Our stay was from 12/31/06 - 1/1/07... literally a place to lay our heads after "watch night" service and an early morning fellowship breakfast with friends. We arrived to the hotel around 6:30 - 7:00P and received a warm greeting from the hotel clerk. I asked what options I had for a room, and she asked me what I wanted. I told her a KB/NS. I got that and on the 12th floor without request... the highest floor and an HHonors level. Once in the room, I called the front desk and requested a roll-away bed... arrived in no time and was set-up for us. We were pleased with our room, and it was spacious enough to accomodate a roll-away bed and sleeping bag. Our kids (16 & 18) stayed in the room with us, as we saw no need for addt'l expenses for a less than 24hr. stay. We did not dine at the hotel, but our kids did use the pool, and said it was clean and nice enough. Overall, we were pleased, and would stay again if in need of a place to comfortably lay our heads at night. If we were looking for better highway accessibility, nearby dining options, and/or activities; we might choose elsewhere.
  2. This place is way overrated, and not worth 4 stars or even 3.5 in my opinion!!! Oh, the lobby is nice enough I guess with a classic, blah, understated appeal. Check-in was typical. The room(s) decor wan't much more impressive. We arrived to the 11th floor more than ready to relax in our rooms for a bit, after driving/riding for 5hrs. What pungent odor should smack us in our faces while rounding the bend to our rooms??? None other than, MARIJUANA, coming from a room being serviced by housekeeping! Upon entering our room, and thoroughly checking it out, because that's just me... dirty curtains noted, stains on white comforters, dust on dressers, t.v., desk, etc., paint peeling on the ceiling in the bathroom, NOT so heavenly beds or showers. The bed was quite uncomfortable...nothing heavenly about it at all. Anytime your neighbor: above, below, or next door took a shower; the pipes squealed. The doors were thin, so you heard all manner of noise from the hallway. My family and I later traveled to the pool/whirlpool area, which was a joke. The entire pool area was dingy, and poorly lit. They have a 3 lane lap pool, which only goes to 3ft. Guests are charged $9 for use of the adjoining gym. The pluses at this hotel: priority checkout, and NOT for the convenience either, concierge/valet parking, and the creme brulee from The Fishmarket! I have stayed at nothing but Starwood Props for the past three yrs., and made my decision to stay at this one based on that, and the fact that it was listed as a 4 star prop on Priceline. NEVER again (at this prop) is all I can say.
  3. This website is a FABULOUS find! I can't remember how I lucked up here, but I'm glad I did. I have LOVED every Sheraton property I have stayed in with their Heavenly beds 'n baths. :) We spur of the moment (tonight) decided to join some friends in the downtown Pittsburgh area over the July 4th weekend. I used savingsbarn.com, and priceline to bid for two rooms. I started with a ****star prop and $65 bid, then added other areas (downtown was the only prop with 4 stars), but kept the same star rating while increasing my price by $5 increments. It took three tries, and on the third I was able to buy two rooms for the price of $75. I have not thoroughly perused this blog yet, but thanks to ALL for the shared tips that helped me successfully book this room, and save some money!!! :) M~
