    Excellent Stay During Geology Conference

    May 25, 2013

    Our stay was FANTASTIC. My wife and I always try and find a bed and breakfast when attending conferences. We prefer the ambiance to a big corporate hotel, enjoy walking local neighborhoods, and we'd honestly rather give our money to the little guy. The Parador inn is EXTREMELY convenient. It was a 5 minute walk to the "T" rail line that took us blocks away from the convention center. Trains left about every 5 minutes and it is the end of the line so you can't get off at the wrong stop at night. A cab from downtown back to the B&B cost 8 bucks...can't beat that! The neighborhood is walkable, the house is gorgeous, our room was awesome, the dogs were super friendly, and the owner was extremely nice. I wish we had stayed longer. Do yourself a favor and forget the big corporate hotel, treat yourself to the quaintness of this neighborhood, convenient B&B.

    Beautiful Inn

    May 23, 2013

    Stayed at the Parador last weekend on a trip to explore Pittsburgh. The Inn is amazing with high ceilings, sprawling rooms, original woodwork, and vintage furniture. It is not fruffy, but instead very relaxing. There is a garden room and sandy "beach" outside. Ed is very nice and gave us recommendations for getting around and things to do. Food is delicious and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

    Graduation stay

    May 13, 2013

    Our child recently graduated from Pitt. As our family is scattered across the country, we were seeking a place for all of us to stay together. We found it at the Parador. We booked 7 of the 9 rooms and had a FABULOUS stay! Ed, the owner, was more than accommodating to our needs. We felt as if we were in our own home, hosting our family. Travel around the city from the Parador was relatively easy and we enjoyed checking out the local interest items that were within walking distance. All of us agree that we would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ed for a wonderful experience.

    super fun mother daughter get away

    May 06, 2013

    3 moms and 3 teenage daughters had a great time. The Parador was gorgeous and memorable and fun. Close to stadiums and stage AE (10 min walk). Adjoining rooms were just ideal for us!

    This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and I don't know how it can be beat. Ed was such a fine gentleman and handled our large party with ease. Definitely will make another trip to Pittsburgh just to be able to stay at the Parador again.
