Great Allegheny Passage, United States of America hotel rooms at the Independent

"It's an odd or special, staff-free hotel in Pittsburgh. I was lucky enough to bump into one on the day of check in because the main door is locked with a code. Other than that, I only bumped into the cleaning crew in the morning here and there. The building is old and has character. It's quite attractive. The restaurant at the lobby is bloody expensive. I've never tried. The amenities: it's basically single use pour over coffee (regular and decaf). This is actually very damn good! There's also Breakfast tea by Harney and Sons. It's good too. The water machine has tap to cool to hot, and lightly sparkling to very, on top of various flavors. It's fun. This hotel does not have breakfast - only a Nespresso machine that didn't work for me in the lobby between 8 to 12. The Gymnasium is the old timey YMCA open space when it was used for people back when. It is not an actual modern gym. There is also an event space on the second floor."

"Great location room was nice."

"Clean rooms, good service, easy access to the casino. One thing is that they should have microwave at the rooms and no coffee machine."

"Downtown location "

"It was a great place to stop"

"Clean room and staff was great"

"Over the past four years we have stayed at the Joinery, which is close to Point Park University's campus. The hotel is getting a little worn. I noticed things like peeling wall paper, loose tissue holders, loose hooks, etc. I always sleep well at the Joinery, the heavy curtains help keep the room dark. I also use the workout room, which would benefit from a deep clean. The Joinery is a good hotel, not as expensive as some others nearby with adequate amenities."

"Parking was an issue. There was a long wait to get your car. They may have to move several other cars to access your car. Our room was supposed to have a refrigerator. When we inquired they said they would bring one but it might not work. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean."

"Best for non-athletic families. No ice nor vending machines on floors."
