Beautiful boutique hotel in a historic building. If you prefer not to have stairs, be sure to ask for a room not located on the 3rd floor.
The bar is very nice.

The room is clean. We stay at a king-bed room with a sofa bed, they’re comfortable. The mansion and the house is amazing: full of old time styles and with beautiful garden. We took a lot of pictures of them.
BTW, the hotel stays at a quiet and safe community and near CMU campus. It’s easy to find delicious foods too.

Wonderful stay walking distance to CMU
Wonderful stay walking distance from the CMU campus. House is beautiful. Only recommendation is strengthen the WiFi, much needed for business or students connecting to do homework.

Came to stay here due to location near Shadyside hopsital, where I had surgery the next day.
What a beautiful property. Friendly staff, especially our bartender. She was young, but easy to talk to and had knowledge beyond her years.
We didnt eat here, so can not attest to that. Beds were confortable. Rooms very large and the interior was like a european hotel. Dark woods with Great history.

When you tell people there is an elevator, they assume it takes you to their room. Not just one between two floors requiring stairs to all others.
