Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
The room was very comfortable, but a little small. It also only had plugs on one side of the bed so it was a little tricky for charging our devices. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the location was very convenient, super close to the hockey arena
