• I’m coming in from out-of-town, where can I stay?

  We recommend staying at Springhill Suites, Bakery Square which is right across the street from The Ellis School. Other hotels in the area include Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh, Hotel Indigo, The Inn on Negley, and the Hyatt House. We do recommend booking your room early as this weekend is also a Steelers home game.
