"We've being staying at IHG hotels for several years now. They are consistently clean, no frills but everything in the rooms work, strong showers with plenty of hot water, friendly staff, hot breakfast and great rates. This Holiday Inn is no exception, and is our go-to for visits to Pittsburg, particularly when there are sporting events that jack up local Pgh hotel rates. 40mins to downtown."

The Historic Summit Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The Historic Summit Resort was like going back in history. I loved all of the pictures and articles posted throughout the hotel. The old cash register, ink pen, telephone, etc. made one feel a bit of the past. The staff were helpful and pleasant. I wish I had been told when making the reservation about all of the steps. I would have asked for a first floor room. The steps at the front door are a challenge themselves. The pools were incredible. We stayed three nights. The first night was perfect. The second night the people in the room next to us woke us up with their noise. The third night the people next to us woke us up with their loud tv. Hotel management addressed the issue but the people did not listen to them. The noise continued and I had almost no sleep. We were in a room that has the door that opens to the next room. That is not sufficient as there in o sound barrier. The hotel should have offered us some sort of compensation for two nights with little sleep. The food was very good. Having fires burning in the lobby and dining room was wonderful."
