Holiday Inn North, Pittsburgh

I should have known when I got into the sauna like elevator that staying here was a bad idea. The hallways were equally as hot and humid. The rooms a/c unit fan powered off and on all night (design flaw that doesn't allow fan to continue to run after room has reached set temperature). As a result it woke me up repeatedly. Not running the a/c wasn't an option as it was very hot and humid during my stay. Housekeeping services were poor. Nightly when returning to my room, I had to go the front desk for soap and plastic cup replacements. My first night, the key card had stopped working and I had to go to the front desk again to reactivate it(my room was on the steamy 7th floor). The high speed internet was barely above a dial-up connection. So slow that it took nearly an hour to upload a 1 mb file. Managements response to problems were met with incompetence and indifference. Do not stay at this hotel if you expect a good nights sleep.

The business center is non-existent. Few hotel guests-no room service. Bedspreads dirty-musty room smell. Elevator keys taped off. Front desk service-people off the street-poorly dressed.

room heater so loud I couldn't sleep, elevator takes about 10 minutes to get to the 6th florr. Ended up using the stairs. STAY AWAY!!

I was a recent guest at the Holiday Inn North Hills. It was newly renovated and beautiful. It had a nice upscale feeling. The front desk was very nice and helpful at checkin, since I didnt know the area and would be in for a few days..they gave me directions to the Ross Park Mall (which is right across the street!), and directions to Downtown Pittsburgh, which was close too. I would definatly stay here again...very clean, new and friendly!!
