Top hotels in South Shore
Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square
Got a king bedroom with city view. View was great. The room was clean. Bathroom was very small not enough room even to turn. The front door is not properly sealed. So whole night the hallway lights came to the room. Overall the stay was good and staff is very nice.
