Econo Lodge Pittsburgh I-79

It's a budget place to stay. For the price, I have nothing to complain about. Front desk was extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean enough. Had no problems throughout my stay. Beds were comfortable.

Great price. Great service. I was new to the area and the front desk clerk help me by getting directions and suggestions on where to go. I will be back here again when I come back again in a few months.

Was looking for a place kinda close to Heinz Field without breaking the bank. It's about 6 miles from there. One story motel, not sure how to describe it but the rooms were in like individual strips. Anyway, it was a nice set up, rooms were recently renovated. Clean, fairly spacious with double beds, nice sized TV, fridge & microwave. Both people at front desk I spoke to were very nice, we stayed 2 nights. She told me breakfast was 6am-9am but we didn't get up in time. There is a Get Go next door, that it also nice & has lots of food. We really enjoyed our stay, we would DEFINITELY stay here again!

My husband and I stopped there on our way to New Jersey. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. The room was big and clean. We didn’t get to try the breakfast because we woke up pass 9:30 am. Overall is very good for the price you pay and it’s located right by the turnpike.

This hotel was also next to a local bar (we went there to get some beers) , a sheetz a Wendy’s.

Very clean from every perspective. Quiet, though close to the highway.
Convenience store right next door.
Convenient parking right in front of the room.

There was supposed to be a breakfast, but I was never told where.
The WiFi password was not on the key envelope.
The carpet was squishy.

This is a refurbished Knights Inn motel now branded as an Econolodge.  The owners have made it as nice as could be hoped for, with a minifridge and microwave in every room.  The rooms are clean, and the sink area has been refurbished and is much nicer than the usual Knights Inn sink areas.

This is just a personal opinion, but the only thing I truly dislike about the property is that the sink area is outside of the toilet and shower area, and the latter is really tiny with barely enough room to dress in after a shower.  I just do not like using the restroom and then having to open a door to go wash my hands, but that is just me.

That said, the bathroom and sink situation is not enough of a reason to avoid staying here if trying to stay at a cheaper motel.  The location is terrific, only about 7 miles to Downtown Pittsburgh via 79 South and 376 East. 

Tip: if going to the motel getting off from 79, turn left at the light by the gas station (BP station, I think).  Go into the gas station, and there is a connecting drive to the motel's lot.  A separate driveway into the motel exists past this traffic light, but cannot be accessed due to a divider in the road.  One would have to drive a quarter of a mile or so to be able to turn around to head back to the motel driveway.  

If coming from this "opposite direction" (not from 79), the Econolodge driveway is the one past the Comfort Inn driveway; it comes up suddenly and would be very easy to miss.

Can’t beat the price comfortable clean rooms. Lots of parking. Close to Rte 79 and great restaurants Primanti’s just down the street to the east and lots of choice a couple of miles to the west. We will probably stay here again.

A nice clean place, with refrigerator and microwave. The staff could be more friendly, though. Both times the maid on check out mornings was very ugly to me about being LATE going at check out. That is very irritating to me, as I have trouble sleeping anyway, so am behind schedule daily in arising in the mornings.

Very nice for a budget motel; good location

Two - 2 night stays

Great Stay!

Good hotel.

Good experience, good value

Cheap place to stay

Very good value!

Great Place

Other reviewers were spot on in their assessment of this hotel. The carpet is aged and not great, the rooms are CLEAN, the beds are comfortable. Sleep quality was good. Breakfast is very light. Employee interactions were good. A great spot for just needing somewhere to sleep after a concert. Would stay again. 

EL I-17

The rooms were very clean and partially renovated, but the common spaces were in really bad conditions.
The locations was not good for those who are visiting Pittsburg due to the distance.
I wouldn´t also recommend the breakfast.
