very cold weather,super warm people

It snowed the whole time we were there but we were warm and cozy in the two bedroom apt. Larry, the doorman, was extremely nice and we felt right at home thanks to his wonderful personality. We will definetly try to get a room there again on our next visit to Pittsburgh. The downside... I gained about 3lbs on our visit due to the amazing variety of great restaurants. I almost forgot to mention that the price was incredible. We'll be back!

Nice place

This was a nice place to stay. We only used one of the bedrooms. The second bedroom was used as a closet with our things. There is plenty of closet space but there were no drawers for smaller things. Not all of the outlets in the bedroom worked which we didn’t realize until we were just about to sleep. Luckily there was an extension cord to plug our sound machine and cpap machine. The unit was fine overall. it was a comfy and clean place to stay. I would recommend nicer smelling sheets. There was an odor to the ones we slept on. Other than that it was a nice area to stay in Pittsburgh for a few days.

The Pennsylvanian is fair place to stay.

Finding a place in the middle of Pittsburgh that has 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and a kitchen isn’t easy. Plus we wanted to be close to the convention center. So the Pennsylvanian fit that need. It was a very quiet building with old charm for its history as a train station. The rooms themselves were basic and had clean linens and plenty of dishes and utensils in the kitchen. We did have one issue with bugs that was quickly addressed by Jack from housekeeping after a call to Abode.

Dates but comfortable

The pictures are of a brand new unit. The unit is very well worn. We noticed a lot of holes in the walls lots of damage and lots of wear and tear. It served our purpose. Location is good, we walked everywhere. We were able to walk to the Steelers game. The front desk person when we got there was very nice and super helpful. The directions sent were a little rough to follow. Loved the secure building. We would consider staying again but would hope they would put a little love into the unit

We were going to an event in the conventucenter and it was really a good location. I will try to stay in a different side next time, just to be far from road, but it wasn’t that bad. It is close to downtown and good restaurants, really recommend.

First time in Pittsburgh

The building was historical, the front desk staff was super helpful and friendly, I had great communication with the host, he was very responsive. The place was nice, there was a couple of planks in the flooring in the hallway that could have been considered a trip Hazard but that is minor. Awesome location, the city of Pittsburgh did not disappoint.

Pennsylvania Railroad Vacation Stay

Larry at the front desk was very helpful with check in. Getting to the right parking place was a challenge but after finally getting to the right place it was good. Overall, it was great.The architecture of the ballroom and outside area was beautiful. Windows of the apartments need to be cleaned. It was the only thing that made the place seem not clean. Great AC and washer and dryer. Great stocked kitchen. Good location. Would probably stay there again!

Fun location

The actual location was wonderful, and the people on site at the front desk were great. We enjoyed having a little more space in a hotel room and the location to the convention center was perfect! Just a few blocks. Our issue was an email exchange through VRBO let us to believe that we were confirmed for an extra night. We were not there was an error on their side and they were not accommodating. It was frustrating to be there for a week, but have to stay somewhere else the first night my suggestion is whatever you get an email from Vrbo make sure you have a confirmation via email from Abode. I asked for one and they told me it was not needed.

Flooring in need of repair, loud bathroom fans

There was a large concrete repair in the center of the main hallway. Flooring around the repair was loose. This created a trip hazard. The bathroom fans were extremely loud to the point of waking up my spouse when I went to take a shower. The threshold transition between the hallway in the master bedroom was cracked and splintered, making it impossible to walk in bare feet inside. There was also patched drywall in one of the bathrooms, which had not been painted over. Overall, our unit needed some attention, and I don’t feel it was worth the high nightly price.

A little rough

While overall I was happy with my stay, the unit was a little rough. There was a section of the floor that was missing, there were holes in the wall that had been patched but not painted, and there were closet doors that had been broken and not repaired. All in all the place is pretty rough. Location is great though.

Beautiful historic hotel. They will escalate your requests, and give you half back if it’s below 0

Interesting stay. Provided with space heaters, and given half back for our stay. Beautiful place. But in the dead of winter don’t expect a refund for a not so great experience. Hotel was great, Abode not so much. Assuming it is corporate as even though we had no heat for 3 days, the best they could do was half off. So don’t blame the hotel, blame the corporation in California. Won’t be returning. Be careful people, there are plenty of small companies that have your back .

Would book again

This property was as advertised and well worth the price. Instead of 4 twin beds, we were pleased to find 2 queens! Lots of room in the living room for playing Oculus!! Renovations in unit in process: lamps missing from walls above bed, floor was in need of repair, hole in wall where coat peg should be. But shower was hot with good pressure, beds were comfy, bedrooms and unit were quiet, full size fridge, and location was perfect! The building was historic and amazing. We were pleased and would stay again in the future.

Poor start, good finish

Poor start - the building was updating the air conditioning. Abode knew about for about a month, but neglected to inform me. Considering the temps scheduled for the days we were going to be there were in the 90's, it was VERY inconvenient. Although I was told they were hoping it would be fixed by the time we checked in, it would have been nice to know that there was a possibility it wouldn't be and we'd have to settle for the mobile air conditioning unit and fans. With that being said, once the 'right' people at Abode were notified, they were not only responsive but worked with me to find a solution we were both satisfied with. The building is beautiful, and you can't ask for a better location in downtown Pittsburgh.

Excellent location.

The apartment was perfect for our 1 week stay in Pittsburgh, both in terms of size/layout/accessories, and especially in terms of location —- downtown, the Strip, the ballparks, all walkable from there. Couple of qualifications/suggestions: - Central A/C was out when we arrived and a new mobile unit was installed in the living room. We happened to be in town during a heatwave and the mobile A/C and fans were barely adequate. I’m assuming this was a temporary condition, or it would impact my rating. -It can be hard to communicate to Uber/Lyft drivers where to pick you up. We found that if we specified “ The Pennsylvanian, at the dome” that would usually get them to the front door. -We found the television instructions confusing, and we gave up trying to figure them out. I think they were created to cover several different smart tv types/different setups. I would suggest that tv instructions should be specific to the tv in the unit.

Return to Pittsburgh

The historic Pennsylvanian is a beautiful building in the heart of the strip section of Pittsburgh. It is walkable both to strip, downtown, Heinz museum, point state park and many great restaurants. Check in and check out was very easy and the management is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I mentioned the apartment was not as clean and a bit noisy they cleaned it very well the next day and offered to move us to a different unit in the same building. It was a great trip and all of us fell in love with the city of Pittsburgh all over again♥️
