I loved staying at the Travelers Rest! The bed was very comfortable and quiet. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I loved interacting with them and the other guests in the living room area. The kitchen is equipped with coffee/tea, muffins, yogurt, eggs, fruit, etc. We stayed at a corporate hotel the night before which was double the price we paid at the TR and it wasn’t worth it although they were very nice too. No continental breakfast, and the bed was not as comfortable as the TR bed. I highly recommend the Travelers Rest and I will definitely stay there again!!! Thank you Marybeth and Paul awesome job, well done ❤️

This was a perfect stay for GAP Trail riders! We loved so many things . . . it was close to the Trailhead and Pittsburgh sights, had a garage to park our bikes (complete with tools, if needed), the common/eating area was a fun place to chat with our lovely hosts and other bikers, and the history and uniqueness of the building was amazing! Definitely, a must stay place!!!

I can't think of anything that we didn't like!

The self-serve breakfast options were extensive. Due to time constraints, we only took advantage of the grab and go yogurt and fruit, but they had pancakes and other options as well.

Real Review: This is a unique independent hotel with fantastic and gracious owners. One of the first things that you will notice upon arrival is that the hotel is located in an industrial section of S Pittsburgh. It used to be an office building for a steel related company. Their website says that the building was first built in 1883. The owners did a four year renovation of the building. If this were a classic car, you would refer to this as a "rotisserie-frame off" restoration. Everything is clean, spotless, well-painted, well-laid out, and very comfortable. The communal area of the hotel serves as the lobby. It has an open kitchen on one side, And a very nice breakfast is provided although it is a serve yourself affair. The lobby smells like good coffee, leather furniture, and wood. It's a very comfortable place to relax and take in the morning or the evening. We brought in our own bottle of champagne and were pleased to find that nice wine glasses. If you are tired of the sterile, corporate hotel scene, this environment is intimate and wonderfully relaxing. It turns out this hotel caters to bicycle riders. we didn't know that when we booked the hotel. There is a bicycle garage attached to the hotel where you can work on your bike or clean your bike. During our stay there was a large group of cyclists that were heading out on an extended journey the following morning. In general, I have always found bicycle riders to be very gracious people. I guess you can assume that the crowd that attends this hotel would be good people to hang out with. The neighborhood is full of bars and restaurants and pubs and places to eat and listen to music and entertain yourself. It is walking distance from the hotel, But it's a good five or six blocks just to get to the edge of the entertainment district. We had a wonderful dinner at DISH, And I met some great people along the way. I also enjoy a big shower.

I would give the bed an average rating. It seemed to be bigger than a full size bed but smaller than a queen. It may have been a foam mattress, but I didn't find it tremendously comfortable Nor uncomfortable, just kind of average. We had a private bathroom but it was across the hall from the room. Not a big deal just something to know But the bathroom like the rest of the hotel was spotlessly clean and very well laid out. .

We had a wonderful time at travelers rest! Paul was great, the atmosphere was low key and we felt welcomed. There were some really cool systems they had set up to be ecological and to provide ease and freedom to their guest. It was great!
