We usually always stay at Home2Suites when we travel. This stay was exceptionally great since the hotel is located within walking distance of so many restaurants and shopping plazas (Olice Gsrden, Smiey Bones, Chick fil A, Massage Envy, DiBella's Subs, etc.) We stayed here to go to downtown Pittsburgh for the Pirates' home opener. I needed a dog-friendly hotel with a clean room that had kitchen amenities. Home2 always delivers on those aspects. This hotel offered a pool and a gym. We didn't use either, but both spaces were very clean. Many kids seemed to have had a ball splashing in the pool. We stayed for two nights and had breakfast on two mornings. There were eggs and potato options each morning, and bacon on our second morning. They also offered oatmeal and yogurt with all the fixings you can think of. The food was tasty and fresh, but could have been hotter. For whatever reason, Home2 uses these warming cabinets to hold their hot items. It's so awkward to hold your plate, hold the door open and use tongs to grab your food. Chaffing dishes would be much easier for guests to spoon out their food, and would keep the temoeratire more appropriate. This breakfast station didn't offer a microwave which would have been nice to make your food hotter. Cutlery and plates were disposable. I prefer when this chain uses real cutlery and plates. Not only does that save on so much waste, but you're not eating off of paper plates. Something really cute this hotel did over our stay was offer an Easter egg hunt. They placed plastic Easter eggs around the hotel. Each had candy or a small toy inside. On my first morning, I grabbed a coffee cup from the drawer and there was the golden egg! My prize was anything from their snack freezer. I chose a Nestlé Toll House ice cream sandwich for my son. He was very happy to receive this treat. Our room was very clean and well-stocked on dishware and utensils. On the first night, we BBQ'd some burgers. It was great to have real plates and glasses to use for our dinner. The front desk has all the tools you need for using the BBQ. There were two small issues within our room, which I informed the front desk about when checking out. Our TV was very glitchy. It kept freezing regardless of which channel we watched. He second issue was that there was not even a drop of body wash in the wall-affixed bottle.  We used soap so it wasn't too big of a deal, but I prefer body wash, especially their Zero brand which smells delicious. There were many dogs at the hotel during my stay, but the doggie areas were always clean and bags were available.  In fact, everywhere around the property was very clean including the BBQ and the fire pit seating areas. All in all this was an excellent stay. When we visit Pittsburgh again, I will definitely stay at Home2Suites Cranberry again.
