The staff was exceptionally helpful. When I asked for directions to a store to buy an umbrella the gentleman at the front desk provided me with his or the hotel's umbrella to use. It was so super helpful and thoughtful. I was going to a ceremony and it started to pour while there- that umbrella was key! Thanks very much to MC hotel for putting guest first and caring!!

Conveniently located
Hotel is centrally located between UPitt and CMU. There are a variety of restaurants a short walk away and area felt super safe. The hotel was clean and quiet, but the bathroom was in need of a renovation.

Convenient location
It was confusing at check-in where to park the car. Various options, but none very convenient. Also, there was a white substance in the corner next to the A/C unit under the window (see picture) The shower curtain didn't have a lining. The door to the closet didn't close. Beds were very good.
