AC Hotel was definitely a 4.5 star in our view. Clean room, comfortable bed and an amazing overhead hot shower, nuff said plus 50" plasma. The location is also prime in downtown Pittsburgh near the Convention Center which is where we were attending. Just an awesome hotel and a very fair price. I. Sosa
