Sonesta Simply Suites Pittsburgh Airport

Value in Pittsburgh First time staying at a Red Lion/Sonesta brand. Very clean, very quiet room. I did not notice any funny smells other than people cooking as some reviews have mentioned pet odors. Remember it is designed as an extended stay with limited service, no breakfast provided. There were many cars in the lot and I did not hear any noise at all. It was also very large, and I only reserved a queen efficiency. So I could only assume the 1br are even more spacious and well designed. The room was immaculate with not a speck of dirt anywhere. The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. The shower was one of the best I have had in a hotel room. The water pressure was outstanding and plenty of hot water. Free laundry, exercise room and grab and go stuff for a cost at the front desk area. This is essentially a Candlewood Suites with a new name on the door only. Target is adjacent if you need anything. As well as literally hundreds of restaurants within a couple mile radius.

Ok for a quick overnight stay I opted to stay at a nearby hotel after a late flight into Pittsburgh. I booked a room at Sonesta for a decent rate through my vacation club. I can’t say that i had any issues or negative experience. Noise and cleanliness is always a concern for me, especially in hotels that allow pets. My room was a bit dated in terms of decor but it was clean. I also didn’t have any noise issues. The checkin area was small and tight but the employees I encountered during checkin and checkout were all nice and helpful. The fridge, microwave and burner were convenient for late night snacks. This accommodation definitely served its purpose for me.

Never again It was quiet, at first. Pot smell in the parking lot? Meh, you do you. The lobby is dingy and not like any Sonesta I have ever stayed in. Carpet on the first floor was worn and dirty. Filled out paperwork by hand. FDA was nice. There was dog urine in the elevator. Stayed on the second floor. The room was spacious and clean. Went to sleep. Woken at 2am by puppies squealing. Heard a person run down the hallway and go into the room next to mine (puppies immediately became quiet). Dogs barked on and off from that point forward. Entire second floor hallway smelled of dog/dog urine. I have 4 dogs, I thought I was nose blind. Apparently I am not. Must not have noticed on checkin. I was exhausted. I’ve used Sonesta for personal and business travels in Chicago and NY. Never had this happen. Never again. Embarrassed as I had a colleague with me. Back to Hilton we go.

Duquesne University Parent Visiting Student I've visited Pittsburgh several times during the first year my son was @ DU.. stayed at various hotels downtown & by airport, a couple of AirBnBs Sonesta Suites was by far THE best one yet overall !! GREAT location, super clean (I'm such a clean snob), awesome staff, had all the amenities I could wish for PLUS more...(Basic, but a clean comfy bed is all I need) free parking and most importantly, affordable. Honestly, you can't beat all that! Stocked kitchen where I could cook my kids favorites, a free laundry room where my son did his laundry while I cooked, a Target right across the street to go shopping.... This place had it all. And did I mention CLEAN? A lot of folks want to stay downtown to be close to campus, but this wasn't too far away (less than 20 mins and we were on campus) and for the price different, WELL worth the short drive. My son is in Pittburgh for three more years... has lots more concerts, family weekends, birthdays and whatever else draws me to Pittsburgh. I have found THE spot to be. Already booked two more stays. Definitely two thumbs up!!

Overall good stay Check-in was smooth and the guy working the counter was very helpful. I had a maintenance issue with the bathtub filling up. I mentioned it to the same person at the front desk and the problem was fixed later that day. The room was nicely appointed with a cooktop, dishes and free laundry. The guy working the counter when I checked out was terrible. When I walked up to the counter, he just looked at me not saying anything. Then he mumbled something which I had to ask him to repeat. Outside of that experience, I would stay at the hotel again.
