Go 2 By Relianse - Pittsburgh, PA - Cafton

The location made it easy to get around, and the price was hard to beat. The property was quiet, tidy, and felt safe and well cared for. My room was clean, comfortable, and more spacious than I expected, with everything I needed and a very cozy bed. The staff were welcoming and professional from the start. This motel exceeded my expectations, and I'd gladly return or recommend it to anyone wanting an affordable, comfortable stay.

For $186, this was nowhere near worth it. The bathroom was filthy, with a shower floor that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, a dirty main floor, and a shower door that wouldn't close. The showerhead hung so low it was hard to use. When we came in, there was a musty, stale smoke smell. The bedding was just a thin sheet and blanket, with no comforter, and a questionable space heater sat on the island between the beds. The TV was already on, which felt creepy, and the door didn't seem to close all the way. The extra lock wasn't properly screwed in and was missing a screw. This was easily the most disgusting hotel I've stayed in. Go somewhere else.

My stays are usually smooth, and when small issues come up, the staff sort them out without making me feel like a burden. Chevy and Destiny are the people I usually see, and they're both great. There was also another really helpful woman who worked nights last winter, though I don't see her anymore. The place has been there for me when I needed it. You get what you pay for, and it works for me. Calling it rundown is a stretch. Some reviewers seem to have expected a Westin experience for Motel 6 prices, while others started with a nasty attitude and got one back.

The woman at the desk was loud and rude, arguing with an elderly customer. I also saw people smoking weed in the parking lot. My first room was filthy, and the replacement, supposedly just cleaned, was almost as bad. Its door lock was broken, so I left right away. They refused to refund me, and corporate said the same when I called. They even added a charge for incidentals. I didn't stay there at all.
