Guest Reviews
- francisa967 (10/5): Weekend staycation in Pittsburgh - Location was great. I had cocktails and dessert in the restaurant onsite and enjoyed a performance at the nearby Kelly Strayhorn Theater. My first night I walked to Bakery Sq. and had dinner and drinks with family. Room was spacious and comfortable. At night I could see the sunset from one window dnd awakened to a beautiful sunrise through the other. Created a wonderful atmosphere. Check in was seamless. I accessed the concierge locker with ease. Noise levels was minimal, despite being close to lots of nightlife. Great stay! Great value! Will definitely stay again.
- J6039FCcurtisr (2/5): Not a good look for KASA hotels or maverick. - One of the worst stays and cleanliness at the hotel or a hotel I have stayed at. Zero help from staff and they dont care at all. Trying to get help to check in non existent. Parking description pre booking is very poor. Phone system and ai phone system not very helpful and ling wait. Room was dirty towels had bodily fluid on them. Every aspect was not good. Pictures ** Room** Cleaning ** Customer service really non existent. Hard to get through on phone and they dont care about cleanliness or service in the slightest. This is super unfortunate because Pittsburgh is great ... Beautiful YMCA building and location. Should have been a great experience was not!!!
- dscarnovale (10/5): Great place to stay - Awesomeness place to stay great price and perfect location. The atmosphere was very nice. The room was very clean and new.
- 177sierram (10/5): Lovely, eclectic stay in PGH - Lovely little stay. The location is awesome. Walking distance from lots of local restaurants and bars. The vibe of the room gave college dorm, which made the stay feel so much less official in all the best ways. The room was eclectic! It was clean, towels were thick and comfy. And the team helped me so much by resolving a mistake I made prior to check in that really saved me from a miserable time in Pittsburgh. So nice that I could just go to my room without doing the long and drawn out front desk stuff that you often go through in a traditional hotel. But I still had all the support I needed throughout my trip. Quiet, peaceful, and I’ll absolutely be returning. No real amenities, but the restaurant downstairs was a delight.
- brooksh505 (8/5): Would Stay Here Again - Everything was great. Very quiet and comfortable. Plushy towels too. My only challenge was getting a receipt, which finally came after texting that request twice.
- O3344ZFwendyg (10/5): Convenient and stylish hotel - Very clean hotel. Easy virtual check in. I got here late (after 10pm) so it was nice to just click and be checked in. No keys. Opened the door with my phone. Easy parking on the street. Lots of businesses around so it was pretty quiet. Room was super spacious. Very clean. Nice area to make coffee or sit to eat.i didn't do either but the space was there. Extremely affordable given the space. Cool and unique furniture. Big bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!
- D5735LGlisas (10/5): Great experience at the Kasa. - Super friendly and great location. Our room was very clean and we appreciated the snacks and water that were complimentary. The location is excellent and we will visit again when in Pittsburgh! Well done Kasa:)
- 45shawnz (2/5): Kasa The Maverick: Hostile Deception and Zero Service—AVOID THIS PLACE - My stay at Kasa The Maverick was an absolute nightmare, built on deception and defined by dangerous physical flaws. Their "24/7 Virtual Support" is a complete and utter joke; this is not a hotel, it's a liability. The Service Lies (The Kasa Experience Sham) The support model is designed only to delay and lie, not help. When I couldn't sleep on the rock-hard, 6-inch mattress (which they acknowledge is an issue), they refused a topper and told me to get "extra blankets" from the supposed "concierge closet." I immediately reported that the closet was completely empty. Their "support" responded by lying repeatedly, claiming a non-existent on-site team was handling the request, wasting over 30 minutes of my time with scripted excuses. The team's final action was to demand a 4.5-hour window for inspectors to enter my unit for an unannounced fire alarm check, showing zero respect for guest privacy or time while completely ignoring my basic comfort needs. Physical Hazards and Discomfort Beyond the service scam, the rooms are unfinished, loud, and uncomfortable. The floors are raw, cold concrete, the refrigerator buzzes loudly enough to prevent sleep, and the hallways have large sections of exposed wiring and piping, which is frankly dangerous and unacceptable. This entire unit is unfit for human sleep or habitation. I am posting this review while still at the property and I am still waiting for any legitimate response or solution. Do yourself a huge favor and spend your money at any other establishment in Pittsburgh. This place is a scam.
- sophyav326 (10/5): Art Deco hotel with Incredible views and amazing hospitality! - The our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! Loved the body wash/lotion offerings. The check-in process was very easy, and the staff were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We especially loved the incredible views of the church and the convenient walking distance to great restaurants and coffee shops. Do be mindful that there are a few homeless individuals in the surrounding area, particularly on the outskirts of the hotel. That said, the neighborhood felt overall safe, so just stay aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely stay here again!
- 635bradyy (10/5): Wonderful Experience - Amazing stay! The location is great, the room was spotless and comfortable, and every detail was perfect. Truly my favorite spot to stay in Pittsburgh — can’t wait to come back!
- Tourist13697283661 (10/5): Perfection again - This was my second stay at The Maverick in Pittsburgh. The atrium king room was clean, quiet and the mattress was perfect! On-street parking though it's a good neighborhood so you don't need to worry. Great place to stay because it's so close to downtown. I even had a hand-written card waiting for me when I arrived!! :)
- 811devdattas (10/5): Memorable, Classy, Clean Boutique Hotel Stay! - Beautiful building and room with memorable vibe. Very clean and classy. Wonderful, quiet area with easy parking. Best value in the city. Great restaurant in the lobby for some quality food and drinks.
- Monica (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - What a wonderful place! We truly enjoyed our second stay at The Maverick and were completely surprised by the personal note welcoming us back. Great location and beautiful rooms.
- Stephanie (10/5): - Lovely space, fairly well Appointed. Attentive staff via text. Would for sure go again.
- Andrew (10/5): - Converted YMCA, so rooms are spacious. No kitchen other than a fridge, but otherwise, a great find. Close to shopping and local library is next door, if you just want to get out of the building.
- V7674BVandrewh (10/5): Great and Easy Stay - Great stay with super easy access with the automated check in and out. Good location and easy to navigate to all the main sites in Pittsburgh.
- Chaz (10/5): - Love this location it’s in a city center of its own.
- Averie (10/5): - Clean room, easy access, and quiet building!
- Kaleb (10/5): - Was a very pleasant stay and the room accommodations were very nice
- Haniyyah (6/5): - Very nice but access to Customer care is missing the mark
- Susan (10/5): Would Love to Stay Again - Vibrant area, with lots of shops and restaurants. There is a city parking lot behind the hotel. No technology problems. Great bar in the lobby. The rooms are very quiet. There was a huge boisterous wedding on the first floor and we couldn't hear a peep in our room.
- margaretcamillec (10/5): Great hotel for great price - Great hotel! Very fair price and great atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable; cute styling. I absolutely loved the clawfoot bath tub, was very relaxing after a long day of client meetings. The hotel does not have a dedicated parking lot, however, I was able to park in the lot behind the building with no issues and only had a short walk to the hotel via a pedestrian alley. Will certainly stay here again.
- Mata (10/5): - Everything about this hotel, location, rooms, amenities...was above and beyond!
- Maria (10/5): - I booked it last minute. The check in was easy and fast. Everything clean, set up for the guests. I needed to print a paper for work, there was a work station in the hallway with 2 monitors and a printer. I was able to connect wirelessly and print it. I loved large windows and decoration of the room. There was a small electric kettle and a microwave in the unit. I loved my stay and will come again. And the old building it’s in is gorgeous. Staff is nice and helpful.
- jr (10/5): - Easy to check in, clean, all necessities provided.
- shannan (10/5): - Beautiful property! Just wish parking was easier
- Seth (10/5): - It was a fantastic time would stay again
- LoveTravel577580 (10/5): Nice lower cost option - Convenient location and great pricing. Loved the self check in and access to 24/7 concierge. The hotel restaurant was a nice surprise. Wish there had been a coffee/breakfast spot on site but those are close by. Excellent experience and would recommend - thx!
- Celia (8/5): - The Maverick is a very cool, stylish hotel in a fun area of Pittsburgh. We enjoyed the spacious room with its huge windows and great views. The only drawbacks that we saw were the lack of a coffee maker (just an electric kettle with instant coffee), a VERY firm mattress (not good for arthritic hips), and a tv that was only operable with a phone app that we never figured out. With no breakfast or coffee provided in the lobby, you need to take a walk in the morning to get anything. Hey Babe (the restaurant and bar located on the first floor) was very fun and had the best crispy potatoes we have ever had! How about using that space to serve a Continental breakfast?
- Logan (2/5): Bad refund policy - Qasnt able to make it to pittsburgh due to technical flight issues. Wasnt able to get a refund for unused services.
- Deeawn (8/5): - Wonderful property. Restaurant excellent! Nice lobby area to work. Room decor is amazing! Truly loved the body wash and lotion. Need wash cloths. Don’t like using hand towels in the shower because they are too big. Need a ramp so that you don’t have to drag luggage up the steps to enter the property. Didn’t fully understand parking hours. Checkout time needs to be extended to 11:00am instead of 10:30am.
- David (8/5): - Walkable area
- Todd (8/5): - I loved my spacious room with its large windows and unique furnishings. It had everything I needed, and was very self-contained. Although I did not eat at the restaurant inside, it was a vibrant space. The surrounding area is somewhat compromised in the facility itself is old. It still has wonderful charm. I highly recommend to younger travelers interested in a non-corporate setting.
- Mark (6/5): - No staff on site. Water temperature was too hot and hard to regulate. Nearly got scalded. Parking was inconvenient.
- Joan (10/5): Enjoyed our stay - We stayed at The Maverick by Kasa 2 nights while visiting Pittsburgh. All the information we needed to enter the building, get our room number, and park our car was readily available in my e-mail. The room itself was spacious, clean, and very quiet. We found street parking but a parking lot was nearby. While walking in the neighborhood to find dinner, someone tried to steal my phone. We were extra careful after that incident and stayed indoors at night. The hotel is a short drive to a lot of restaurants, The Phipps Conservatory, and the Carnegie Art Museum.
- Jose (10/5): - Our stay was fantastic - the view of the church right outside our window was spectacular! I really enjoyed how they made use of the elongated space, one of the most unique hotel rooms I've stayed in by far!
- Patrick (10/5): - Cool space, great water pressure, good room layout, and several places walkable including nice restaurant/bar downstairs. Would happily stay again.
- Gregory (10/5): Surprisingly upscale - It's an old YMCA but it's probably the coolest hotel I've ever stayed in. On arrival you find it's directly across from a gorgeous old church and the neighborhood has a number of historic buildings. We found on street parking at the church but that may not be so easy during daytime. It took a minute to find the check-in kiosk. The lobby bar had a ton of staff and the food and drinks are fantastic if a bit pricey. The room was small but very modern, clean, and smartly arranged. My girlfriend found the mattress to be too stiff but that's a personal preference. The whole place has a strangely empty, almost haunted feel and it was fun to explore.
- Brian (10/5): - It is quite
- Malachi (4/5): - No staff on site. No room service. No cleaning service. Bathroom was cramped and had a sliding door (no privacy). No vending machine on site
- Cody (2/5): Looks like a Hotel, Feels like a Hassle - If Kava wants to operate as an overnight hostel, they should advertise it honestly instead of masquerading as part of the hospitality industry. There is no hospitality here. The online check-in app is unusable. While some people might be fine with virtual check-in and check-out, I am not. This system was both unusable and inconvenient. It should not take two thirty-year-olds and a YouTube tutorial just to check out of a hotel. Add to that the fact that there is no elevator or handicap accessibility and the parking situation is practically impossible, and you’ve got a recipe for frustration. These aren’t minor inconveniences they’re deal breakers! Inside, the experience is just as disappointing. Guests are instructed to strip their own beds and haul linens to a basket at hotel prices, that’s insulting. The beds are uncomfortably low to the ground, the pillows collapse into nothing, and the only redeeming quality is that the soap smells decent. Congratulations, Kava you’ve managed to reinvent the world’s most expensive dorm room, just without any of the fun or community. For the rates charged, this is unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration Pittsburgh has plenty of options that actually understand what hospitality means.
- MichaelN774 (10/5): Great location. Clean, comfortable rooms. Excellent staff. - Maverick by Kasa is a unique hotel located in the Shadyside/East Liberty section of Pittsburgh. It is surrounded by restaurants and stores, including a very popular restaurant in the lobby. The rooms have been remodeled and are very comfortable. The check in process is done completely online and is very easy with detailed instructions. It is very safe and secure. You'll get a unique pin to enter the building as well as your room. This was a work trip for me, and it's location was ideal. I'll definitely be returning to this hotel on future trips.
- tsungwei (10/5): - great corner room views.
- Muhammad (10/5): - Everything was virtual. There was vwery noisy bar on enterence
- Monica (10/5): Great place - Great room! Enjoyed the big windows and the furnishings. Had a lot of character
- M2767KJjoej (10/5): Good time in pittsburgh, with a excellent base location - My wife and me really enjoyed are experience at Kasa Maverick in shadyside pittsburgh. Shops ,restaurants and transportation 2m walking distance. The room was quiet and comfortable. I really recommend Kasa
- Kaori (6/5): - We had toilet flash issue however since there is no stuff there, it’s very difficult to solve the problem fast. We needed to go to basement to use the toilets from 5 th floor because they didn’t tell us any updates…. And changing the room also they said they assist us but nothing until I asked them many times. If I was just that day, I cannot keep text them that often so I don’t recommend this place for business or tight schedule people
- Jake (8/5): - Parking was a little challenging in this downtown location, but once done it was easy to walk to parks and restaurants. Or eat in the lovely and popular hotel cafe. A cool retro vibe throughout.
- Michael (4/5): - 2nd time at kasa. 1st time was amazing, just the opposite this visit.... Elevator broken so had to lug our luggage to the 4th floor after a 7 hour drive, no one on staff and customer service (California number) very sub par!! Unit was smaller than reserved and when we left we forgot some items in fridge. Called and they said they had our stuff so we drove back too only getting half of what was in fridge! Young lady at the desk which I had to wait 10 minutes for her return said sorry but supposedly already had people in room so I wasn't aloud up too the room..... Unfortunately we won't be back. Don't care how quaint the place is, if you can't provide good customer service, close your doors!
- amyjeanne2024 (10/5): Awesome place for groups! - Our Peace Corps group came from all over the country to reconnect after 25+ years. The Maverick was perfect! The rooms were lovely, the check in process was easy, the location was great.
- Kelly (10/5): - Great building, artsy, clean, awesome on site restaurant. No check in desk, self service. Walkable restaurant's & bar's.
- Sia (10/5): Quaint and Modern Hotel - The stay was very enjoyable and everything was as I expected. Close to restaurants and hotel was comfortable.
- Sarah (10/5): - Love this location. Close to restaurants. Easy stay when we are visitng the area.
- Lujie (4/5): - The first night, the shower gel dispenser was broken, I text the hotel per instructions, the response was warm and friendly and patient, but the issue is the problem was never fixed, even after multiple interactions. I suspect I was talking to AI. There is zero human contact in the whole process, the concept is new, probably can save operations cost. it is okay unless things broken. I ended up having to buy a shower gel myself from the store. The hotel should do a better job to include real human to address real problem.
- Cynthia (8/5): - The area was not too far from my brothers house, easily accessible.
- warrens486 (10/5): Clean, classy and quiet - We’ve stayed at The Maverick 4 or 5 times over the past couple years. It’s always clean, classy and quiet. It’s also priced competitively. We’ll be back.
- SARAT (10/5): - clean and quiet .. close to everything you need
- oliviaaG7168IE (10/5): Best stay in the city 10/10 - The room was so beautiful! Well furnished, super comfortable and huge bed, complimentary snacks and water and coffee and ra. The roon was very clean, bathroom too. Air conditioning was nice and cold which we were grateful for. The whole building is beautiful, lovely old pittsburg tower with a fancy restaurant in the lobby. Keyless entry could not be easier , worked like a dream. Wish we had stayed longer!
- Global29699271284 (10/5): A great option for parents visiting college kids - This boutique-style hotel is a great option for parents visiting their kids at college in Pittsburgh. It's only a short drive from Carnegie Mellon or Pitt. Overnight parking is free in an adjacent lot (though you have to pay starting at 8am, which is easy to do from a parking app, and quite inexpensive). It is usually much more affordable than other options in the area, but the accommodations are very nice. You must be comfortable with not having a live person at a front desk. You check in and check out online or via text, and you are given a code to enter the hotel and your room. Staff is VERY responsive and helpful via text. It's nice to arrive at the hotel and go straight to your room. The building is a converted old YMCA with lots of interesting charm. The newly finished bar area and lobby look very nice (though the bar area only appears to be open limited hours). The rooms are all updated and well appointed. There are a number of decent restaurants and coffee shops within a walkable distance.
- Diana (10/5): - Second stay at this hotel while in Pittsburgh. Up and coming neighborhood near a Whole Foods, Target and tons of cute neighborhood restaurants and cafes. The hotel itself is lovely. I much prefer to stay here when visiting my child at the University of Pitt. Street parking or metered parking in a lot behind the building is abundant and I don't feel overwhelmed with garage parking or the Forbes Avenue traffic/congestion. It is a short 10 minute drive from that. So much character in the architectural details!!! Love that this building has been repurposed from a YMCA. The mid century modern furnishings are adorable. The contactless check in and parking is convenient. I will be back.
- Adolfo (10/5): - This is one of the coolest hotels at which I've stayed in a while. Comfortable, chic, and sexy, it is in a very walkable area with a lot to do. I will definitely be back!
- Nelson (6/5): - Bed too soft; internet access speed is fine. Easy to walk around in the area for bus rides and supermarkets and McDonald ( average walking time 10 minutes) Room and building a bit old but still clean. Self service to clear the rubbish and dirty linens and get resupply myself Online support via WhatsApp was fast most of the time but some time needed to wait for a few hours for their response. The answers for my questions some time were wrong but they corrected that quickly
- Laura (10/5): - This was such a cute place to stay! Even though there’s no front desk, two staff members were there to greet and assist us when we arrived. The air conditioning in our original room wasn’t working, and while it took a few steps and about a 15-minute call to get it sorted, they were able to move us to a new room. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. There’s also a beautiful restaurant right at the entrance—it looked amazing, though we didn’t have time to try it. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
- 898amandae (10/5): An easy and comfortable stay in a quiet area - The automated experience was easy to follow and made for a speedy check-in. My room was large, clean, and well equipped. When I had an issue with the amenities, I sent a text, and a few minutes later, someone showed up to fix it. There's a concierge shelf on the 4th floor where you can pick up extra amenities as you need them. The hotel bar opens in the afternoon. The staff were friendly and the food and drinks were good. One thing of note, if you require room service, it appears to be an additional charge.
- Alesia (10/5): - Clean and great location
- Willa (8/5): - I love that the hotel is in a historic building, an old YMCA building across from a beautiful church. It's nicely decorated, spacious, the area is quiet, and it's accessible to other parts of the city. It has a fridge, microwave, table, chairs, reading lights in the bed, an iron, and plenty of hooks, which many rooms lack. There is a fabulous restaurant on the first floor -- only open for dinner but with a pleasant ambiance, good cocktails, and interesting food. A couple of negatives: There is no one on staff on-site. We didn't have a light for the bathroom for the first day because we didn't know there was a master switch by the front door. They looked like two regular light switches, and there was no signage to alert us. It took until the next day to get a message saying that it was most likely causing the light to be out. Also, the king-sized bed has a ledge butted up against the wall, making it clunky to get up once you're in bed on that side. Otherwise, check-in and out was easy and seamless.
- chuckgP8382YV (10/5): Awesome hotel. - Cool hotel, I loved the old style and location. The room was small but perfect for what I needed for just an overnight stay, I would definitely stay here again if I'm in Pittsburgh.
- Joseph (10/5): - The hotel itself was different from what I’m used to and I think that’s what drew me in. Loved the large windows and the views if the city. Loved the king bed and how simple the room was. Perfect for a quick trip but would be a great option for an extended one as well since there were many walkable options and travel by car was quick too. Will definitely seek out Kasa hotels in the future!
- 985joanneb (10/5): I loved my room! - Delightful room decor and spacious accommodations, overlooking stunning neo-Gothic church across the street which glowed brightly overnight. I was thrilled at all the thoughtful amenities (safe, microwave, fridge, coffee-maker, corkscrew, makeup remover pads, etc), creative platform bed (VERY COMFORTABLE) & windows seat, lovely vintage-look tiled shower, cute wall pegs, appealing paintings and artwork... Loved the creative technology for check in and room-access.
- Lauren (2/5): - NO AC.
- Ted (2/5): Don’t stay here. - I could not stay in the room due to the fact it was 83° in it. When I contacted Kasa to see what could be done about it, the answer was nothing. There was no attempt to offer me another room, possibly at a lower floor at a lower that might be a better temperature. When I asked for a refund, that was denied. My experience was that Kasa did not care about customer comfort. That’s unfortunate since I’ve stayed there before and have recommended the Maverick to others. Given the circumstances of extremely high heat in the Pittsburgh area I was not warned in advance of my arrival that the room was gonna be hot. I will no longer recommed this hotel.
- Q2115QTsteveng (10/5): - The Maverick at Kasa in Pittsburgh is great!!! We had a wonderful stay and a wonderful experience there. The hotel is located in a former YMCA building so it has charm and character. The communication and check-in process was seamless. Our room was very well appointed, with some thoughtful additional touches like complimentary water and cookies. The room was very quiet and the bed was quite comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep (although we should mention that the bed is on a low platform, which could pose an issue for people with physical challenges). We did experience an issue with the A/C, but a service member arrived immediately and took care of the issue right away, and was extremely friendly and helpful as well. Kasa followed up with personalized texts regarding the issue, and even provided some Pittsburgh-themed chocolate bars to help make up for it. We were very impressed with every aspect of our stay and of the hotel and staff, and highly recommend a stay at The Maverick or other Kasa properties!
- Aly (10/5): AMAZING - Amazing hotel! WILL STAY AGAIN
- Jeremy (10/5): - Room was great and the building has lots of character. Great location. Would definitely stay there again!
- Alesia (10/5): - Great location.
- Hui (8/5): - The location is convenient and the room is spacious. It would be better if facilities of the bathroom is more functional.
- Ayla (10/5): - It was very clean and amazing
- Emily (8/5): - The AC in our room wasn’t working, but other than that, convenient location and good quality for the price.
- Anthony (10/5): - Easy to check in and clean! That all I could ask for.
- Beth (10/5): - Modern, clean, easy access to hotel and room.
- Melody (10/5): - It was a nice place to stay, but not for an extended period of time. A few days would have been perfect. No negative reflection on the hotel, but it would be cool if they offered a gym for workouts, also the windows were dirty, due to just the elements. The windows are so big and its fun to sit and people watch, but they were very dirty, in my window seat in my room.
- Jiansheng (6/5): - Good: Newer furniture and appliances. Clean. Bad: No parking. Little amenities. Bare bones.
- 224nikkie (10/5): Repeat Guests - We have stayed at the Maverick multiple times now. It is a great place to stay! The room is always very clean and the beds are comfortable. It is convenient to everything in the East Liberty area. Communication is wonderful and the room is easy to access. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Pittsburgh!
- michellesX1580QM (10/5): Cute, clean great location - It took us a minute to figure out the self check-in process but once we knew what we were doing, it was seamless. The rooms were very spacious, clean and cute. They have everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay there in the future.
- M6165BPangelak (10/5): Best "self service" hotel ever! - Seamless process throughout my stay. Super clean and all very neat and organized. Comfortable bed and pillows, complimentary coffee, tea, water and cookie! There's a working fridge, hair dryer, iron and microwave. Large and clean windows. Quiet. 100/10! The lobby is beautiful with plenty of space to hang until your room is ready if you get there early. Would definitely stay here again!
- Steven (10/5): - I can’t wait to return this summer
- Kamil (10/5): -
- 985esea (10/5): Seamless - The check in process was very seamless. Hotel is clean and the virtual help desk was responsive. Overall great experience
- Kimi (10/5): - Giant beautifully appointed rooms.
- Veronica Moretti (10/5): - Great
- John (10/5): - The check in was easy. .My room in the old YMCA was unique, very comfortable, and very clean, with an amazing view. The newly opened bar at the entrance was great! I only had a couple of problems. The light over the sink in the bathroon is inadequate, and the wonderful huge window in the third floor room needed washed bad. Overall I had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay.
- Joseph (10/5): - It was a pleasant building, in a nice area that was close to a lot.
- T469VKdianeg (10/5): US Open 2025 - Very modern and well kept. It was great having 2 TVs. Beds were comfortable. The Netflix movie about Milton Hershey was being filmed throughout the hotel. An added experience.
- Robert (2/5): - Not a great experience! Spent hours on the phone trying to get all of my four rooms secured through their virtual check-in. Had to scan the state issued ID's of all of my travel group and add in credit card information all so they don't have to pay for a receptionist to help get you into their hotel. I will never sign up for this process again and recommend no one to use Kasa if they appreciate their time and patience.
- Josh (10/5): - Very nice staff. Room had the essentials. We would return.
- Whitney (2/5): - This was literally the worst expert I’ve had at hotel
- Paul (6/5): - The no-staff concept is a bit distopian, but the do-it-yourself tablet check-in worked well enough. The building and room had character. The bar/restaurant was not operating so i can't comment on that. They were shooting a movie there so the front door was jard to find let alone access. Interesting place but I probably wouldn't do a repeat visit.
- Cassandra (10/5): - Price wasnt bad for us going to to the U.S. Open. Enjoyed the art deco feel and esthetics. Walkable to target, and nice shopping and food scenes
- YaakovK_13 (10/5): Comfort and Automation - My son and I loved the room with all of it appurtenances. Similarly we appreciated the automated check-in and check-out and entry to the hotel. May not be for everybody but we valued the high tech approach to maintain reasonable room rates.
- Tamela (10/5): - Everything about the place was beautiful.
