Days Inn Monroeville Pittsburgh

I selected this place due to the price. I gave it 3 stars because you get what you pay for and it could have been worse but I saw no bugs and it seemed clean except for an occasional blond hair. No, I do not have blond hair and I did not have any company on this trip. I really did not wish to pay $ 150 plus for a one night visit. The reviews were ok so I figured I would give it a try. I can now understand why I do not do 2 star places. This would not be a place I would wish to stay for a week. It is plain and primarily for just sleeping. This place is old but not scary old.
The front desk staff were friendly and check in was quick. On entering the room there was a noticeable musty smell. More like an old carpet had been cleaned kind of smell. It had the basics; TV, Bed, Drawers, Bible, coffee maker, Bathroom, Hair dryer. It also had Wifi which was not good. I switched to my Hot spot on my phone.
The plus side is that there is a bar and grill right outside the place. Maybe I am use to things a little nicer but this is definitely a one night stand kind of place. if you like the basics and the motel feel than this is the place for you. I will pay the extra next time.

A majority of what I am going to write here is going to be repetitive of what other reviewers have already said. I should have paid the extra $ 20 and stayed elsewhere, but I was being el cheapo and decided I could tough it out for one night. First, let me explain why I decided to lodge here. I travel a lot for work and instead of me going home from work and report to an appointment on no sleep early the next day, I decided to get a room to save me time.
This Days Inn screams late 70s roadside inn. I haven’t been to many hotels where your door opens to the outside. It’s just odd and shows how dated this particular hotel really is. The interior of the room isn’t bad, but you can tell that they just did a quick remodel in hopes to draw in customers in the sea of hotels in this section of Monroeville. Hardly any amenities here, just the basics.
When I arrived, check in was swift, the lady at the front desk was sweet and pleasant. When I got to my room, I did my check of the room just to make sure I didn’t get a room that was just thrown my way. I noticed there was no iron or ironing board to be had. I needed to press my shirt for the next day, but with that not being an option I went to plan B. I was going to turn on the hot water in the shower and close the door for a few minutes. That’s when I started to think to myself, ‘man, I should work out more.’ The knob says «Pull to turn on,» I did everything I could to get this thing to work, but could not get the water to flow. I went to the front desk to ask about this and at this point the staff had switched over. The newer lady had said that this was one of their biggest complaints (she must not know the hotel very well). After her coming to my room and showing me how to turn it on, she offered to switch my room, I declined. Since we are on the subject of the shower, bring a step stool, it is literally the highest drop out of a shower I have ever come across.
As far as the rest of the room, let’s get into that. The television only actually aired some of the stations. A lot of what was suppose to be available wasn’t. Wifi, non-​existent (probably what the sign on the front desk meant). If you do choose to stay here, make sure you get a room facing the back of this place. You may not be able to access the hotel’s wifi, but you will be able to access the businesses next door (not that I know anything about that ;)). Hairdryer, didn’t work. The AC/​heater, no happy median there, it’s either too hot or too cold.
As far as other patrons they court here, be wary of them. I did not see hookers as other reviewers have said, but there are some colorful characters. I walked outside at one point to get food and was hit by a wall of smoke from some fine cannabis. Later in the evening I got to witness an impromptu music video being made in the parking lot.
The only saving grace here is the proximity to food. You can walk to Dairy Queen or Gateway Grill to get some grub, or there are several places close by that deliver to the room.
Elevator is scary, probably why they suggest you taking the stairs. Gym is a loosely used term here.
In summation, spend the extra $ 20 and stay elsewhere.

Ok lets be honest the only reason i stayed here and why it even gets 3 stars is because it had a jacuzzi in my room. Other than that its your typical run down crappy chain hotel that you would expect from these chains. But jacuzzi in room yup im sold.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! If I could give a zero rating I would. My husband and I booked a room for Sept 12 – 14. Starting around 1am, a group of people in the room next to us started fighting in the room. They took the fight outside in the parking lot. Banging on doors, screaming and throwing things. The fight went back inside the room and then they went back outside and continued to fight in front of the our hotel room door. We called the front desk and he said he would take care of it. About 10 minutes later, the fighting started and grew more heated. I called the front desk and told him to take care of this or I was calling the police. His reply to me was «Call the Police.» So I did. Police came and while I was standing outside of my hotel room door, 2 of the people that were fighting made comments to me about calling the police. We decided we didn’t feel safe there nor were we leaving our car outside. I went to the front desk to get a refund for the night just to be told «I’m not giving you a refund.» So now I’m in the process of dealing with Corporate to get my refund. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I will not stop until my money is returned. Everyone has the right to feel safe and it should’ve been the hotel’s job to fix this problem, not me.

We’ve stayed here a few times for a local comic con. We always seem to have a problem. Last December, we booked our room when it was on sale via their website. When we got there, they were not going to honor the price, until my boyfriend produced a copy of his confirmation information.
This last weekend, he made sure he had his confirmation on him so there was no problem with check-​in. Things went smoothly till we tried to get into our room Saturday night. We were locked out! According to the person at the front desk, they deactivated our room keys, because of the price we paid was for «x» amount of nights. (The room was booked for Thursday thru Sunday.) The person at the front desk refused to wait on my boyfriend. They wanted to take care of a «paying» customer behind him. Needles to say, we got the key fixed.
Despite that, our room has always been pretty big & always clean. Their continental buffet is pretty simple — bagels, toast, muffins, cereal, coffee, juice, & milk.

a average hotel no hookers ok people.
last year in October 14 I stayed there for 4 days. the beds are great. the showers are great. I was safe.
what I didn’t like was my hotel at my last night was 70.00. the manager I talked didn’t want to give me a good deal. there were not many people there she was not willing to give me a good deal for a good price.
if I go to Heinz field or Pittsburgh I will stay there. its average in all ways. nothing amazing.
I wish the manager was nicer. he loss

HOOKER HOTEL!!! Do not ever stay here. Stayed here 2 nights for my grandma’s funeral, saw 3 hookers and 2 pimps. Filthy. I had to change hotels for the remainder of my stay. When I called corporate they told me I had to talk to the manager at the front desk when I talk to the manager at the front desk they kicked us out of the hotel and denied everything, refuse to do anything about it and refused to give me a receipt. Had to call corporate back to get a receipt. Rotton continental breakfast. Terrible customer service I will never stay at a Days Inn anywhere in America ever again. If I could give you 0 stars I would.

All the other reviews about bugs and the dirtiness of the room and bed bugs scared the crap out of me! I was so hesitant to go in the room! But I was very very VERY pleased that it was a clean room with NO BUGS. PHEW! Maybe I got one of the «good» rooms but I’m just happy. It was clean and the room was a nice size. It was not a 5 star by any means but it served my family well for the night and I would recommend this to my friends if they are looking for a «cheap» room a day before Christmas!

My wife, 3 children and myself just returned from a weekend in Pittsburgh and stayed at this Days Inn. I can sum this hotel up in one word: Gross. I know some say you get what you pay for, but after spending $ 184 for the weekend I deserved more than I got. When we arrived we started calling other hotels just from the look of this place. Turns out we would have been charged for a one night stay because of their cancellation policy requiring a 24 hour notice. In addition, the cleaning ladies were sitting on a bench outside the office smoking. The elevator was also out of service. The room reeked of stale cigarettes, there was mildew in the too high tub, the carpet had waves in it, the box springs were left bare and the whole room was just unclean. On Sunday morning as we were preparing to leave the fire alarm was going off. I called the front desk and asked if there was a fire and if we should evacuate and was told no. That’s it…“no”. No explanation or apology. That alarm sounded on and off as we prepared to leave. NEVER AGAIN! Wish I could give negative stars.

We chose the hotel for it being $ 30 less for the night, when we needed to stay somewhere for an emergency. The rooms were bigger than I’d expected, but overall, I wish we’d have just spent more. I felt like everything was not cleaned well, so I was uncomfortable all night. I found a hair in my bed and on the bath tub (which was unnecessarily too high). Disgusting!

Only giving it one star because I could not give any less. Toliet broke and nobody came to fix it for the rest of the two days I was there. Luckily I had family in the area and used public bathrooms. Dirty room. Overall not a good experience. Probably the worse I have stayed in every. I am military so I travel lots, have many experiences staying in hotel rooms.

I’ll keep it nice and short. Nice big rooms, bathrooms weren’t as clean as I would’ve liked (mold on chalking), and very slow high speed internet. But for the low price, and yes, VERY freezing cold AC, I would still give this a good review and would stay here again. The breakfast is very basic: toast, bagel, jelly, coffee, juice, milk, raisin bran and fruit loops.

Stayed here last night after a night out in Pittsburgh. Checked in after 11pm after trying 4 other hotels in town that were all booked up. Check in was quick, hubby paid cash at the late check in window, only took about 10 minutes tops. Pleasantly surprised once we got into our room, it was very clean, no food or smoke smells at all. The menu guide said free HBO, but half the channels were just blank when we tried. Air conditioning was great, actually has to get up and turn it off altogether it got so cold. Bed was comfortable if you like very firm mattresses, which my husband and I do. Nice pillows, bathroom was small, but clean. The soaps could have been better, but for $ 90 we were just happy to not have to drive anymore. Would definitely stay again if money is a factor.

Where to begin with this Days Inn… If you’re looking for an inexpensive hotel and cleanliness isn’t important to you, then this is your hotel.
Our troubles began we headed up to our room. The floor was dirty and littered with cigarette butts. When we opened the door to our non-​smoking room we were blasted with stale cigarette stench. After returning to the front desk, the employee not so cheerfully gave us another room. This time we were welcomed with mildew odors and a few roaches. Oh wait, I forgot to mention the nice clump of hair we found upon entering the first room. Needless to say, we ended up not spending the night & Days Inn couldn’t have cared less. Very disappointing.

A decent hotel at a low price — comfortable beds, free parking, and a highly functional (FREEEEZING COLD) air conditioner. Problems with the hotel were not really «problems» but rather a bit of false advertising. #1) Their gym is only open 12 hours a day — 9am till 9pm — not exactly the hours I plan to be at a hotel on a vacation. #2) The Wi-​Fi is free, but it is absolutely terrible… literally on bar at most times and unable to even load a basic browser like google.
Service desk was competent and checkin/​checkout was simple.
