Not Luxury Hotel - Needs a refesh/staffing shortage

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Jun 2024
Just spent 5 nights and the hotel rooms are in need of an update and refresh. They put a black plastic wrap under the mattress/around the bed frame that was ripped and looked not fitting of a "luxury" hotel. Bathrooms and wall paper are dated. The biggest issue is that there is a staffing shortage at the hotel - we had trouble getting our room serviced one day after calling several times. There was no available valet to help with our luggage upon our departure - the woman at the Front Desk said that she was the only one working. With that said, the staff were pleasant and the restaurant/bar is good. The hotel is not luxury and hopefully they can try to resolve staffing issues and invest some money into updating the property.

Jonathon was very rude and unprofessional. Every time I went to the front desk for assistance I waited over 10 minutes for someone to greet me. When I called with a question I would say thank you at the end of conversation and they would just hang up. Not 5 star service for sure. The room was extremely dusty so much so I had to take allergy medicine. I waited over an hour for an ice bucket to be brought to me. The manager Nikki was very nice and apologized for the issues I had but offered nothing to make my stay better. The ONLY nice thing about this place was my view of the city. At best this should be a 3 star hotel. Do not go expecting the experience you get at other 5 star hotels. You will be treated like a burden.

Room tip: Do not waste your money. This is not a 5 star hotel.

Excellent atmosphere and service . A beautiful, well tended hotel located in the heart of Pittsburgh with easy access to dining, the arts and sports venues. The entire staff went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend this luxurious property.

The best luxury hotel in Pittsburgh. Exceptional staff across all departments. Always welcoming and professional. Great and comfortable room. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Bathroom is large and includes a tub and shower. When I return Fairmont would be my first choice.
