The room was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the only issue was that they mistakenly charged the wrong card for the incidentals.

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Pittsburgh Airport
Very convient! Took shuttle to airport - on time and great service. Loved that the breakfast started at 4am. Plenty of places to get something to eat right around the hotel in fact you wouldn't even need to drive - can walk to several restaurants. Will pick this hotel the next time we need to fly ...
