PA Pittsburgh Springhill Suites East-Monroeville

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE

While the hotel itself is fine as its clean and fairly new with a nice indoor pool, ONE THIRD of the hotel is about 50 feet away from an VERY BUSY toll booth. I usually sleep fine near busy streets as the traffic noice becomes ambient once you get used to it.

But you NEVER get used to semi trucks coming to a halt with their screeching breaks, only to rev up their diesel engines 10 seconds later after paying the toll. You cannot appreciate how loud and close you are to the toll booth until you can see money changing hands from your hotel window.

Needless to say I got virtually no sleep. I was in the lobby at 5:30 dressed and ready to leave.

I will never bid this zone again. I only paid $35 and I got ripped off.

I stayed there over labor day weekend. It's true, my room window faced the toll booth, but I slept right next to it and never heard any noise. The rooms seem to be quite well insulated.

I thought it was a really nice hotel with a staff who went out of the way to be accommodating. They also had a much better than standard continental breakfast.

I wound up bidding 49 for the hotel, and thought I got a bargain.
