"I have been excited about so many of our business ventures lately, including our relationship with the Hilton Family of Hotels. Our Hilton Garden Inn in the Southpointe area of Pittsburgh has been a wonderful success for us, and I am certain this new Doubletree Hotel addition will play a key role in the continued development of what I view to be an outstanding community."

Convenient access? I'd argue that, as there are many hotels much closer to those locations. The hotel really isn't convenient to those during rush hour.

So very true!
But it's nice to have an alternative near the airport.

I live in the area, so I won't be staying there any time soon, but if someone wants to gift an award stay to me in order to check it out and review it, I'd be more than happy to do that. j/k :D

I stayed at the ES last year. Aside from its remote location, the property itself was excellent. Good breakfast, good manager's reception, and the on-site restaurant was pretty decent. The atmosphere around the atrium was nice, too. I'd recommend it... but I haven't stayed at the DT.
