Reviews of The Maverick by KasaReviews of The Maverick by Kasa

The property has LOUD public parties from 8pm to 2am. They are random and so bad that the hotel now puts ear plugs in the rooms. They send you a note the afternoon of the events. Very disappointed.

EDM concert / rave in the hotel until 2AM. Walls were rattling. Hotel notified us of “moderate noise in the lobby” only 25 minutes before check in. Really horrible hotel.

Rooms are spacious and stylish, with very high ceilings that I appreciate. It is important to note that there is no breakfast, but there are many cafés and restaurants as well as a Whole Foods store nearby. There is also a bar downstairs but it was not open on the days I visited, so I cannot evaluate it. Note that distances in Pittsburgh are long and public transportation options are limited, so it makes sense to check in advance how much time it takes to get to your planned destinations. If location is good for you, I warmly recommend The Maverick by Kasa!

Would like more parking options

If you stay here during the week, you're probably going to be just fine. Under no circumstance whatsoever should anyone ever stay here on the weekend. I forbid you. You've been warned. Read the other 1-star reviews on this place to see that it's a common pattern, not just my experience (I sure wish I had done that). I encourage you to get a sleeping bag and sleep on the street instead if you have to, just make sure it is somewhere far from this hotel. The only reason it has any good reviews at all is that people stay here on weekdays and have no idea of the trance disco hell it turns into come Friday night. There is an obnoxious (not nearly a strong enough word) techno dance club off the lobby. The music is so loud and the bass is SO heavy that your room and everything in it, including you, literally vibrates, and it doesn't stop until 2am or later. It begins in the middle of the afternoon as they do sound check and prepare for the night's festivities and the later it gets, the louder it gets. It doesn't matter to move rooms, the entire place is affected. The windows rattle, the drinking glasses rattle on the counter, even the clothes hangers were vibrating. At around 11pm, the fun intensifies as the classy patrons of the nightclub begin congregating en masse on the street outside, smoking weed and being almost - almost - louder than the drone of bass that you will already have been listening to for hours as they shout, curse, and, at times, argue with each other. When you reach out to the friendly but otherwise useless overseas outsourced customer service for the hotel (there are no employees on site), they apologize profusely, refer to it as an "event", as if it's a wedding or something, and offer to throw a few bucks in gift cards at you to try to get you to give up complaining about it. Eventually you do, because it's obvious you're never getting past them and there's only so much, which is to say not much, that they can do. Do not - DO NOT - underestimate the extent to which this place is, by every definition, totally uninhabitable on weekends. You will not sleep at all, you will get a throbbing headache, you will search online to see if there are support groups of others who have survived it as well so you can connect with people who can truly understand what you've been through. If you do choose to stay here, bring some ecstacy, extra glowsticks, and your Hello Kitty backpack so you can at least go take part in the madness taking place downstairs.

Really liked this place-room was spacious and the decor was great. Room was spotless. Nice touches in the room-water, cookies, and a corkscrew. Loved the aesthetics of the room. Would definitely stay here again. Parking easy to find-pay until 6pm on the street and free until 8am. Neighborhood is good too-lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Very noisy hotel. They have a EDM club on the first floor that literally shakes your room at 1AM with how loud the music is.

I will be back! Likes: The ease of the location, the decor and the cleanliness

Likes: Can’t answer question about staff (I guess other than cleaning) because there’s no staff

Good rooms, unexpected neighbors Likes: There isn't parking in the building, but there is a parking lot around the corner which is free between 8 pm and 8 am. The rooms were nice - great shower pressure and plenty of hot water. Another perk was the two free drink tokens for the lobby bar. There's also a bus line straight downtown that departs from right outside the Kasa door. Dislikes: There was a literal rave in the lobby floor when we arrived, which was unexpected. It was quite crowded and loud, apparently, it's a venue that is often rented out. Not too loud in the rooms (which were on the 5th floor) but you could hear something. The next morning, there was a crew filming a commercial in the room next door. Not a problem, but another unexpected neighbor. There aren't a ton of things to do nearby, but there are several coffee shops and a few places to eat.

Awesome, historic building. Tall ceilings, great light and super comfortable bed. 10/10 would recommend.

Hotel lacked accessibility which was problematic during our stay. The virtual front of house staff was less than courteous given the time of year when thousands of college kids are moving into their dorms and thusly staying in hotels- going shopping etc. very displeased with basic human kindness. A prime example of sterile american capitalism.

Cool spot in a great neighborhood Very cool hotel. The virtual check-in process was really easy. There was no on-site parking, but there was a big public parking lot behind the hotel that was free from 10pm on Saturday to Sunday which was nice. The room was really well stocked and had a very cute window seat and table. All the furniture in the room and the lobby was really cool. My husband and I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It was walking distance to some great restaurants as well. Will definitely stay there again when visiting Pittsburgh.

Love The Maverick! Awesome rooms. Very clean with a great vibe! Checking in and out was extremely easy. No hassle. The bar downstairs was very chill. Really loved the bartenders. Everyone was extremely friendly and we had zero issues. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place. Room was neat. Check in instructions were meticulous. Check out was easy.

I stayed here in July for a conference. After the stay, the hotel refused to provide me the invoice for the stay, and I have to bear a 500 dollar loss. Will never stay here in the future. Not recommended at all.

this is the WORST place you can find to stay. you will NOT receive an invoice or receipt for your stay needed for compensation. NEVER stay herr.

We loved the location and the repurposing of the old YMCA in Shadyside. The cleaning staff and bar staff were friendly and professional. Do use of the public goods products, father to my husband as it was still plastic. However, towels were soft and fluffy, bed was comfortable with luxurious sheets and pillows. When we had questions, the online health was prompt Thank you

Super clean and great service!

Hip, clean, unique and well-organized. Very cool hip hotel. Great style. Unique feel. Way better than a Hilton or another corporate place. Seemed clean and well organized. Nice and quiet, hardly saw anyone in the hallways. Really appreciated the two free cocktail tokens - very class touch. Lots of nice aesthetic details. Felt a little strange to have no front desk staff but the one thing I needed help with was responded to pretty quickly. Seemed like a fair value too.

I enjoyed my stay a lot I would definitely stay again. The place was clean and the hosts were responsive whenever I texted with a question. It’s in the heart of the city which is nice because there’s lot to do around there. One thing I didn’t know which I didn’t mind but is important to know is that the first floor turns into a club/bar on weekends so sometimes it can get loud or hectic on entrance. It wasn’t a problem though and I couldn’t hear anything from my room

Love it

fantastic art deco industry architecture, perfectly clean and spatious Likes: We had a family suite to accomodate the parents and two tall teenage boys. The room was large and its architecture beautiful. The entire building has been beatifully renovated. One bathroom was sufficient because there was a 'public' restroom in the basement of the building which was perfectly clean and probably the quitest room (no air condition sound at all) in the entire building. I liked the lobby with lots of opportunities to sit and work with the computer. Dislikes: Such a beatiful bar in the lobby area. Would have been so nice to order a coffee there.

Great location. Great room. Perfect size for my daughter and I. Conveniently located to access the museums, zoo and downtown. Low traffic area and great location to walk to dinner and dessert. Also east to access the stainless self entrance.
