Traveler's Rest Hotel

Wonderful space, great amenities, excellent location. Highly recommend.

Blackout curtains in the room would be nice

Real Review: This is a unique independent hotel with fantastic and gracious owners. One of the first things that you will notice upon arrival is that the hotel is located in an industrial section of S Pittsburgh. It used to be an office building for a steel related company. Their website says that the building was first built in 1883. The owners did a four year renovation of the building. If this were a classic car, you would refer to this as a "rotisserie-frame off" restoration. Everything is clean, spotless, well-painted, well-laid out, and very comfortable.The communal area of the hotel serves as the lobby. It has an open kitchen on one side, And a very nice breakfast is provided although it is a serve yourself affair. The lobby smells like good coffee, leather furniture, and wood. It's a very comfortable place to relax and take in the morning or the evening. We brought in our own bottle of champagne and were pleased to find that nice wine glasses. If you are tired of the sterile, corporate hotel scene, this environment is intimate and wonderfully relaxing.It turns out this hotel caters to bicycle riders. we didn't know that when we booked the hotel. There is a bicycle garage attached to the hotel where you can work on your bike or clean your bike. During our stay there was a large group of cyclists that were heading out on an extended journey the following morning. In general, I have always found bicycle riders to be very gracious people. I guess you can assume that the crowd that attends this hotel would be good people to hang out with.The neighborhood is full of bars and restaurants and pubs and places to eat and listen to music and entertain yourself. It is walking distance from the hotel, But it's a good five or six blocks just to get to the edge of the entertainment district. We had a wonderful dinner at DISH, And I met some great people along the way.I also enjoy a big shower.

I would give the bed an average rating. It seemed to be bigger than a full size bed but smaller than a queen. It may have been a foam mattress, but I didn't find it tremendously comfortable Nor uncomfortable, just kind of average. We had a private bathroom but it was across the hall from the room. Not a big deal just something to know But the bathroom like the rest of the hotel was spotlessly clean and very well laid out. .

Convenient parking,great location

Loved the location, aesthetic, and cleanliness.

Great place with somewhat gothic atmosphere, cozy rooms and very nice owners, knowledgeable on the area, willing to help and five advice. Highly recommended!

Nothing really

A big room in the entry to hang out and talk with other travellers where you could have coffee and breakfast. Very welcoming to cyclists, with the things the person travelling by bike needs - secure, place to store the bike, tools and amenities to repair the bike, multiple beds in most rooms so you can easily share with travel mates, access to a fridge and stove, etc. Also, lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance.

Bathrooms are across the hall from the rooms and you have to enter a code to get in.

The location was great, parking available on the street right outside! The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. There was a small mini fridge in the room which was useful! Check in was a breeze! Would stay again at a later date.
