TRYP by Wyndham Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville Boutique Hotel

Solid rooms for the price. Beyond what others have mentioned about the nearly required valet parking, there were a few less than ideal things about both the room and service. The small room is perfectly fine and a great use of space, but be prepared for it and don't expect to spread out your things everywhere. There were a few things already falling apart, which was surprising for a relatively recently renovated hotel. The sink faucet in our room was so loose I thought it was going to fall off, there's weird flaking on the ceiling, which I worry about given allergies. When we arrived the room temp was set to 60 degrees, which is easy enough to fix but when we turned the heat on, I got incredibly sneezy and snuffed up nose. Suggests there's some cleaning of the air ducts that needs to happen! I was personally annoyed by them sending a text message at 8am on our checkout day (a Saturday) saying that it was time to check out online. 1. It was sent far before the check out time, which is noon, and 2. It didn't communicate what the check out time was and suggested we should be thinking about getting moving early! Again, all around a pretty solid experience, especially for a relatively low cost and great area. Just think there are some things they should be doing to upkeep the place and keep it 20% nicer.

This hotel is pretentious and more expensive than others. The common areas are beautiful but the rooms are small and claustrophobic. There are no extra blankets and the thinnest covers they could find. The king room I booked turned out to have a queen bed, and the sink and shower were In the bedroom, the toilet was a half bath with just a sliding door. Going poo-poo smelled up the whole room. The hotel touts itself as a wedding destination but it's anything but romantic when you have to basically poo in front of your betrothed or your plus one. Every single thing is an upcharge. Parking 28 dollars a night plus mandatory valet fee. early check in online 100 dollars extra charge. A movie? 26-32 dollars per movie in your hotel room. Breakfast is not included and is a la carte - even though the rooms are 175 dollars and up per night. The rooms are just not good. Hard to find light switches, end table only on one side, our bed had metal poking out the side - making it dangerous to get in. No carpeting and no soundproofing with all hard surfaces which amplifies sound from inside and out, the shelving and fixtures are cheap, the tv you have to cast your own services onto it or pay 26 dollars and up for movies, the blankets are thin, the windows are sweating when cold outside, the bathroom is weird, the shower and sink are open into the whole room so zero privacy and the toilet has a sliding door that has gaps so no privacy there either. The restaurant up on the roof is nice but extremely loud. There were about 20-25 people there for a party and they were spread out talking In small groups and you could not hear anything with all the noise. Fron just a few groups talking at once. The bar downstairs didn't. Appear to be open the entire time we were there, breakfast was super expensive and the coffee shop had limited hours. The espressos were the least expensive and most quality of anything there. The selling point was the neighborhood. It's in Lawrenceville which is a great place to hangout, shot, eat, and just enjoy the people. The hotel is in such a nice area. But it really is lacking in so many ways. They need to redo the rooms. Make them larger or make two small ones into a suite. It just needs an overhaul and to change the policies a lot. Stop upcharging for every little thing, include parking and breakfast, upgrade the rooms, and it would be fantastic.
