The Maverick by Kasa | Self Check-In & Virtual Front Desk

Quirky Hotel Near the Action
This was a quirky hotel that occupies a former YMCA. It is located across the street from a beautiful cathedral and is near robust areas of shopping/dining. There is no front desk or on-site guest services. Instead, you coordinate checking in/out, etc. via text. Response times were fine. The room was narrow but comfortable. The bed was low to the floor, and one side was tight to the adjoining wall. The lower floors are used for community events. During our stay, the lobby bar was closed. There is no on-site parking, but there are options within 1/2 mile. The TV is not connected to cable/satellite but does support streaming. The in-room WiFi was good.

We picked this property due to past reviews and they were spot on. It was a little smaller than pictures showed but it was plenty of space for just two people. We were not in the room very long except to sleep. The location was great as far as being able to walk to places to eat or if you need to shop. A Target and Walgreens were in walking distance. We did not rent a car so Ubered everywhere. I'm not sure I would do that again as it became very pricey but we had never been to Pittsburgh and were unsure of parking. We went to an NFL Football game and the uber ride was over $60 there and $80 coming home alone. But it still was convenient being dropped off where you were going. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city and we had a great time! next time we will stay longer and rent a car so we can see more!

First time Kasa'ers and we two were very pleased. The unit has the funky, hispter-loft design and layout we hoped for PLUS good amount of clothes storage and hanging space. Wife loved the clawfoot tub and used it every day. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were wide and had great water pressure. We loved the view of the church from our room. The 4th floor unit was quiet and comfortable for our 4-nite stay. The polished concrete floors were nice though I suspect they might be cold in winter. ONLY 4-STAR COMMENT: we (old folks) aren't the most tech-savvy so the whole digital communications thing was a learning experience for us (kudos and slight criticism for the sheer volume of digital communications from Kasa pre-, during- and post-stay). For instance, the TV isn't a "TV", but an large scren-extension of the apps on our mobile phones. That whole swipe-to-project Star Trek stuff made me give-up trying to watch the Steelers game on the TV. But that's just us. 5-Star review is still my feelings and will make me seek out other Kasa-type projects in our travels to other cities.
