Editorial Review for Morning Glory Inn – by Gayot.com

The Scene
The massive, beautifully carved front door reflects the attention to detail found within. The place is almost always full (except from January through March), and its consideration of the needs of business travelers means you won't always find the typical B&B crowd here.

The Details
Each bedroom is individually decorated and has its own bathroom. The Garden Room features white wicker and pink lattice wallpaper; the John G. Fisher Room has earthier tones, although the style is still Victorian. Striking accents include black wallpaper dappled with pink roses in the Josephine Ormsby Yard Room. Rooms are equipped with speaker phones, voice mail and wireless Internet access. Original pine floors and a fireplace adorn the home's former kitchen, which now serves as the dining room. Among breakfast offerings are treats like cold strawberry soup and cinnamon bread-pudding French toast with bourbon sauce.

Never Paid So Much For So Little

11/20/2007 Posted by mookieinny

This past weekend three friends and I spent two nights at the Morning Glory Inn, Pittsburgh. What a scam. We were charged higher rates then the ones we booked, were put on the top floor (think 3 steep flights) with no help carrying bags. Our accommodations consisted of two beds for four adults (not couples). Trudging up the steep incline like a pack mule got me up close and personal with the filthy carpet - a sign of things to come. This place is the pits and the insulting accommodations and lack of services is rivaled only by the rude, arrogant and clearly misplaced hosts. These people should consider another line of work, possibly one including paper hats and flipping burgers. If you, fellow traveler, read anything positive about this place it was either written a very long time ago or was written by the owners. The rooms were freezing, showers were freezing, rooms were not clean, partiers yelling in the street till 3:00 a.m. both nights, and two completely disconnected owners who act like they have nothing to do with the place other than to serve a light breakfast (read: no choices / no meats). Bottom line: $900.00 for two beds / two nights. Disgraceful considering the true service (historical) establishments available in Pittsburgh. Stay at the Omni, or Hilton or on a local river bank - just avoid The Morning Glory Inn. Wish I could give them zero stars.

Pros: None

Cons: Rude owners in a sub-standard house.

Just call and chat with this guy on the phone. You'll get it. He's horrible!

If I could give this a -10, I would. I have no idea how this place could win any award. Check out the reviews on other webpages, there are more negative than positive. The owner did not even seem phased when I told him I had a horrible experience. He could have cared less. The male innkeeper had the personality of a doorknob. The place was dirty, the sink handle broke off in the bathroom as I turned the water on, there were white splotches of previous toothpaste users in the bathroom all over the walls, the water sat in the tub while I took a shower without draining and the hot water lasted 5 minutes before turning freezing cold, the rooms were cold with no ability to turn the heat up on your own, it was very noisy outside late into the night, there was no door to one of the bathrooms of the two rooms we rented, the tvs were so small you could hardly see them, the carpeting was dirty. There was no one there to greet us when we got there and I felt as though I was putting these people out by staying here. We lugged our stuff up three flights of stairs. For $900 for two rooms for two nights, we could have stayed at the Omni downtown with no hassle and pleasant people. Pop a tent and save yourself the hassle! This place is horrid.

Pros: The kitchen help was a nice woman who I felt extremely sorry for because she had to put up with these people.

Cons: Everything.
