I agree the Holiday Inn Select isn’t worth $200/night.

When I visit Pgh on the cheap, I stay at Extended Stay America, in Carnegie. It’s perhaps 5 miles west of the Fort Pitt Tunnel on the way to the airport. As long as you’re not going into the city on a weekday morning, you can cruise right in and be downtown in 5 minutes.

It’s not fancy but has a kitchen area with sink, stove, fridge, coffee maker…and it’s just off the highway (easy on-off). Only about $70 per night, that’s the nice part.
