text: Being a Southern California boy I was not particularly looking forward to a conference in Pittsburgh in November Granted November is still usually a little early for snow but looking at the weather forecast a week before the conference and seeing at least days of snow did not exactly make my daynnBooking my stay at the Westin Convention Center however made things SO much easier They have got a covered skybridge directly connecting to the convention center from the nd floor No need to even put on a heavy jacket to go to your conference Everyone else is coming from around the city and bundled up and then has to carry their coats around all day or check them if the conference is well staffed enough to offer this But being connected to the Convention Center I could just stroll across the bridge and right into my sessionsnnRooms were well appointed Beds were comfortable and the double showerheads were fantastic Toiletries were a little sparse ABSOLUTELY loved the free wifi So many full service hotels are charging for this these days and it is a HUGE pet peeve of mine to pay for a more expensive hotel and then to pay for Internet access on top of thatnnMy issue with my hotel room do not know if it is true for all was noise I was close to the elevator but the door seemed particularly thin as I often heard people walking back and forth down the hall and talking I was also able to hear various building noises like running water etc The walls between rooms seemed to be thick enough because I did not hear other people talking or their TVs or maybe there just were not people staying in the rooms to either sidennI enjoyed their room service breakfast menu They had a nice offering of healthy alternatives including granola fresh fruit yogurt etc Delivery times were pretty spot on and the attendants were friendly and efficientnnAnother big plus for the hotel is that it is connected to the Original Fish Market Good sushi GREAT clam chowder and some other delicious fare There is access into the restaurant from the hotels lobby and it is open until am for those late arriving West Coast travelers
