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!

Our recent stay at the Parador Inn of Pittsburgh was excellent, as usual. Ed and his staff always make us feel more than welcome. We are happy to return to the Parador whenever we go to Pittsburgh.

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.

4.8 out of 5Classy Victorian Mansion disguised as Caribbean Inn
April 21, 2013
Well, if you combine a classy 1880's Victorian mansion in a great location on the North Shore of Pittsburgh and somehow pretend you are in the Caribbean, you get the Parador Inn. Even without the Caribbean theme, the home is a beautiful wonder, with rich wood furniture, stained glass, custom murals, greenhouse room, cupboard and art deco parlor. Add to this attention to detail touches like a 1926 Hemingway's book, "A Call to Arms" even with his wire rim glasses, and you get an idea of what an eclectic place this is. Somehow, a Caribbean theme doesn't fit in cold Pittsburgh, but if you play along, you realize that it is really a metaphor for finding a place to kick off your shoes, relax and feel like here's a place you should put away your troubles. The place is a 15 minute walk to Heinz Field and the Carnegie Science Museum. Free parking for guests. The room was roomy with satellite TV and hardwood floors so new that you can still smell the varnish. Coffee maker and small refrig are available. Bath and shower. Free wifi and a pass to YMCA four blocks away is available. Breakfast was french toast, cooked and served by Ed, the owner/host. A personalized email thank you upon departure was the final nice touch for this at home B and B.

5 out of 5Parador in Pittsburgh
April 14, 2013
We are a couple of retirees who had never been to Pittsburgh, so added it to our trip when we traveled to Falling Water (an hour plus away). We love B&B's and always try to find one when we travel and weren't disappointed with the Parador Inn. Lovely neighborhood, great for walking and mansion gazing. Convenient to putlic transportation (the T is a short walk toward Heinz Stadium). The building is large and well decorated in the Victorian style. The Caribbean theme seems unusual, but Ed has made it work. Plenty of space to lounge and take in the artistic rooms. Outdoor sitting areas in front and back. Two beautiful black labs to entertain. Lovely healthy breakfasts beautifully served. I loved the tall creaky stairs up to our 3rd floor room (Lady Palm). It was huge, and could have slept two more people in the adjoining sitting room (sofa bed), but we had it all to ourselves. We've stayed in over 40 B&B's and this is one of the best. Great value. And we learned that being over 65 allows you to use the public transportation for FREE, including the incline. We took the 71C bus to Clayton, the Frick Art Center, which returned us to the Steel Plaza T, where we caught out free ride back "home." We werre impressed with the helpfulness of the folks in Pittsburgh in getting us to our various destinations. (Realized later that we could have used the Google Map feature on our iPhone as well, but the people part was so much better) Highly recommend the Parador for visits to Pittsburgh and will surely return. Ed is a stellar host.
