The design of the bar is great, but I was surprised by how few customers there were. I went on a Friday evening, and saw only four other people the entire time I was there. Very odd that a place this unique doesn’t receive more customers. Another perk was the parking lot just across the street, and it only cost $5.

We must have hit this place on a bad night. I'm looking at the pictures of the charcuterie boards from other reviews, and that is NOT what we received, not even close. For $26 we got 1 sclice of toast (cut in 3 pieces), 3 slices of cheese, and a few olives. It would have been laughable if I wasn't so angry at having been scammed on the price. The drink was beautifully presented and the outdoor area was nice, though a little small. I wouldn't go out of my way to hit this bar, but if you're already staying in the hotel it's a nice stop before heading out for the night.

Doesn’t open close to the hours listed was told they were closed on both ends in a very condescending manor. For a hotel bar the limited hours are absurd to begin with but to not sell to customers within those listed hours is insane.

Very quiet despite trains going by on a regular basis. Windows are very well. Soundproofed and there is a brown noise system that you can adjust in the room. Never heard a single train go by yet. There were multiple all night. Hotel was virtually empty for Memorial Day Monday got to meet manager bartender and chef. Had a great dessert cookie ?. Solid bar with top shelf choices. Inviting lobby area with multiple seating sections for privacy. Surprise, there was no peloton bike in the gym, I would have hope for better gym amenities such as a sauna. Rooms are very well appointed. Limited cable television selection but you can attach your Netflix or other paid services. Rooms for nicely accommodated. Spotlessly clean with the exception of a sink that did not drain well. Shower, featured an adjustable head and a rainfall shower. As to parking, not sure why people are whining so much. It's $5 to part directly across the street and there's a loading zone at the hotel for dropping off and picking up your bags. Sky lobby is a nice touch with secure key access to guest floors which have a water and ice dispenser. Location is adjacent to convention center and John Kerry Smithsonian annex.

This hotel is new and conveniently located. It is clean with l wooden floors and limited fabrics; therefore, there are few allergens. The hotel was just a couple of blocks away from my conference and next door to an amazing restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient and low priced.

Pros: check-in was very efficient and gentleman checking us in was personable. room was clean and bed was comfortable, loved the shower very convenient to the conference center and restaurants within walking distance parking was across the street but really not that far Cons: the biggest Con for us happened because we were on the alley side. We didn’t really require a “view”, but we were awakened by the dumpsters in the alley being emptied in the middle of the night. This only happened the one night. and, yes, there is a train close by

This was the first time for a visit to this hotel. It's a Marriott Brand. The rooms were very modern, which means kind of sparsely furnished. But they were clean, comfortable and quiet. Cleaning is only every other day, which seems to be the norm these days. They offer breakfast for $15, but it was just ok. We ate there the first day and then went to other places for the rest o the trip. The road signs say it's in the Strip District, but it's several blocks to the heart of it. Its short walk to Market Square, a subway stop, the Warhol Museum and other sights. I would stay there again. The only real problem is parking. There is a lot across the street, but it's for the convention center. Parking was $15 because there was an event at the Convention Center, but there was no in and out. We ended up parking around the corner in a garage which was $5 per day on the weekends, also with no in and out, but it was lot cheaper. Uber and Lyft rides were easy to get. Pittsburgh streets are narrow and hard to navigate if you're not a local. Using ride share is better way to get around.

I stay here often as it’s close to our office. Convenient hotel to the Strip District. Clean, updated rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Nice bar, but wish they had more food offerings. Secure property. It is unfortunately a noisy hotel with the cars and trains. But they do have white noise boxes in the rooms which is helpful.
Super convenient spot for any guest staying at the AC Hotel since this bar is located in the lobby on the seventh floor.The bartender is very friendly and helpful. It’s a full bar with your typical selection of drinks. Limited bar menu is available between 5pm and 10pm.Large bar area can sit close to 20 around the bar. Addition seating is available on the rooftop patio overlooking the river and the district across the river.They don’t have happy hour but prices are very comparable to other bar restaurants in the area.

This was our first AC property. Looked like a nice option near the convention center but the service was awful and amenities poor. No valet parking and no place to unload. Ice and water on our floor empty entire weekend. Bathroom in 7th floor lobby clogged. It looks like AC brought European service which you never want. Front desk was surly and unavailable, bartender was slow and made poor drinks despite few patrons. At breakfast, they ran out of croissants, coffee, creamer, and bread and there was only one poor staff person trying to clean and refill and do everything. Basically, a Courtyard with nicer finishes but worse service and amenities.

Easy check-in, clean and modern. Grabbed a cocktail in the lounge with great views of downtown Pittsburgh. Very clean, great functional bathroom. Rainshower tall enough for my 6' 4" son! Burke, Guest Service, was fabulous at breakfast. Helpful, friendly, offered tips about the city and game. Highly recommend!
