Courtyard by Marriott Pittsburgh Monroeville

Pool cold

Location is good. But access can be problematic. The entrance is often blocked by cars lined up to exit the Sheetz gas station and getting into the hotel parking lot was often a struggle.

We've stayed at this Marriott numerous times over the years because of its proximity to my wife's family in Penn Hills. This will be the last time. Here are the reasons why. Upon pulling back the sheets we discovered the TV remote and someone's Christmas shopping list under the covers. There could be only one explanation for this: the housekeeper did not change the sheets. We were expected to sleep in used bedding. My wife would have none of it. There was also a razor and shaving cream and long black hairs in the shower stall. There was also evidence that the floors had not been vacuumed. It was blindingly obvious to us that this room had not been cleaned from the previous night(s). This realization also raised the possibility that this may be a common situation at this particular Marriott. Without the evidence of the remote and shopping list we would have never known. One could blame this on a lazy housekeeper, but one has to wonder if this could be a management issue. Surely someone in management must be aware of how many sheets are being laundered on a daily basis. Perhaps this is even a conscious, cost-cutting stratagem. At any rate, we are done with this Marriott.
