Rude owner
We planned to see a show at the Rex Theater & decided to make it a overnight getaway (kids) This place looked gorgeous ( it really is, too) Could’ve been an amazing glowing review... Except the male owner is rude! So rude, each interaction. I received an email for my vehicle information so we can park on the street, I responded via email ( & asked for him to confirm he received everything he needed) no response.. Second email from owner saying “if you didn’t give me vehicle information, I need it) I again responded same email & again asked for confirmation. I received nothing. Day of, We arrived & there’s a note between the double doors to call him when we get there to get the code. Mind you We have two bags in a very small space between doors ( so small we can’t shut first door) while he goes on and on & is asking where we parked? We parked in one of the two spaces that said Visitors parking on the property. We were told not to park there, park on the street , since some customers didn’t provide information for parking permit ( I didn’t know if they ever received it) . After 10mins we finally get in & to our room, It’s nice but no remote, Look all over, Call Mr.Rude, who’s annoyed it seems & he informed us since we’re seeing a show we don’t need a tv. Then says he’ll look into it, he calls me back and Rudely says What have you touched/ messed up in the room” Bc I can move you to the attic, At the point we just stayed & he never cared! Everything was grey except him!

Great neighborhood. Horrible B & B
As soon as I arrived this place was disappointing. After a long drive I pulled into an area clearly marked guest parking. I was glad to see this because there was very Lillie parking on the street in this busy area. When I walked in the door there was a note asking me to park on the street. I had to re- load my car and drive around the block 3 times to find a place. I then had to call a phone number to get someone to come and let me in. I was then told they had changed my room without checking with me. The room was on two stories with the bathroom on the lower level and the bedroom on the upper level. When I walked in the building smelled heavily after the fresh arrangements of lilies they had in several places which were very hard on my allergies. Upon arrival in my room it was clear the room was on poor condition. The carpet was dirty frayed and poorly installed. The wallpaper was peeling and there was evidence is possible black mold in the bedroom area. The stairs to the bedroom were very steep and narrow and there was a whole in the wall at the base of the stairs. There was an extra faucet on the sink that just didn’t work. There was no direct heat to the bedroom just the heat that made it up the stairs so the bedroom got pretty chilly. The television was just a fire stick streaming and the internet didn’t connect to it so I had no television service. Between the dirty carpet the mold and the flowers I developed a severe migraine. The room literally made me sick.

Beautiful location facility was gorgeous staff was friendly and helpful. The only drawback was the bed in the Jackson room tilted downward at the head of the bed so I felt like I was sleeping upside down. The pillows were OK but could be better. Overall a very nice experience.

This is an ADORABLE place! So sweet, so precious. I came here for a overnight with my new boyfriend. We slept in the Garden Room, we had coffee in the Library in the morning, we sat on the back porch and drank wine for lunch. It's just lovely. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely Inn in the center of the SouthSide
We came to the Southside of Pittsburgh to reconnect with family. Our mom grew up there, and we wanted to retrace her steps. The Morning Glory Inn was the perfect place to stay if one wishes to discover the Southside area. Within walking distance to great restaurants, cute shops, the incline, and many beautiful churches and cathedrals, the Morning Glory Inn is in a perfect location. The rooms are beautiful, there are several community rooms as well, and a fridge to store drinks/ leftovers. The area is safe and it's easy to get around. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived, and the freshly made breakfasts are delicious! We loved our stay and look forward to our return. There is also a spot for free parking right next to the Inn. If it is full, you can get a parking pass to park free anywhere on the street for the duration of your stay. As most Pittsburgh hotels charge for parking and breakfast, it's a win-win.

A pleasant stay on Pittsburgh's Southside
After an initial miscommunication regarding front door access was ironed out, the remainder of our stay was pleasant and without issue. The room (Josephine Yard) is on the 3rd floor of this beautiful older home in the heart of Pittsburgh's south side. The room was very comfortable with a large and exquisitely comfy bed. There was a large private bathroom with the room and everything was clean, comfy, private and quiet. Breakfast was pleasant enough, lots of excellent coffee and fruits and waffles. The only thing that could have made breakfast better would have been bacon. We were only in town for a single night and this was not our first choice, but for all the other hotels booked solid already. However, if we choose to return for a full weekend, I would definitely consider staying here again. It reallly is a beautifully restored and comfortable home.

I booked a room at Morning Glory Inn for my Great Aunt. She was in town for a doctor's appointment and needed a comfortable place to stay. The staff was awesome and responded promptly to my emailed questions. I was able to join my aunt for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious.

Warm, friendly, inviting and so beautiful!
This bed & breakfast is all about comfort and making you feel warm. Inviting staff and home. All those little things you don’t find at chain hotels are here. Antique decor and lots of space. You can read in the library, out on a deck or in either of the living rooms if there isn’t a small library/sitting room in the suite you chose for your stay. So peaceful and such a warm inviting place. Will not stay anywhere else but here from now on. Absolutely loved this place! Already booked again!

South Side in Style
Love this place! The flowers smell so nice. The courtyard is beautiful. Easy street parking. Chelsea checked me in nice and quick and I had the Whole Place to myself! So comfortable. Easy to do a little work at one of the many comfortable lounge areas before making the short walk to great bars (Ruggers) and restaurants of all flavors and styles! (Fatheads)

Intriguing Victorian style B&B
No staff was in this 5-unit B&B (it's quite a large building to just have 5 units); and perhaps because it was Monday, I was the only guest. Hmm, I thought when I opened the door with the code they gave me, this door lock is dirty. Hope the entire B&B isn't dirty. Well, the place was quite amazing. If you like the B&B experience, if you like interesting and unique experiences, this place is for you. After returning from my business, I was able to take a nice shower then go to one of the several lounge rooms (living rooms?), where they had pastries or -I kid you not- nice Port set out in a decanter. Sat back, read a book and sipped the port. The bed was extremely comfortable. Then in the morning, at the time I had requested the previous day, one of the hosts was there to make me breakfast. The breakfast was fresh berries, fresh squeezed juice on both days; the first day this was followed by a fresh belgian waffle, and the 2nd by poached eggs on toasted specialty bread. True the coffee was nothing special, but then there are several nice coffee shops in the neighborhood with which I was able to repeatedly satisfy my coffee cravings. I would probably stay here again. I would say, this place was definitely better than anything at the Hilton level or down.

Beautiful, quaint historic home.
This exquisite B and B is furnished with perfect taste and a close eye to the history of the building. It's a gorgeous home from the 1800's and the character and flavor of the era is preserved. Don't get me wrong, comfort is what my stay was about there. The best bed I've ever slept on. A gorgeous comforter, chairs, including one rocker --everything was perfect. The breakfast was gourmet and served on china of the era. Every little detail was taken care of. Even the tiny sugar bowl and spoon were antiques. Every effort was made to make me comfortable -- frankly, I didn't want to leave. I'm a writer and I can't think of a better place to linger and let the muse run wild with a story oozing from the walls of this gorgeous venue. I hope to plan a return trip to simply hide from the world and write, wrapped in the luxury that is the Morning Glory Inn.

everything was fine, but the place is definitely focusing on honeymooners or ppl leaving in a Martha Stewart nightmare (not the prison part) - hosts were a little weird - breakfast was good, but nothing at all to chose from (2 small courses, both a complete surprise) - maybe not ideal for people who don't eat / like everything - still, a beautiful but unique place

NEVER STAY HERE
I booked a room at the Morning Glory in late April 2009 for an overnight stay in Pittsburgh, PA on 11/14/09. I stayed there previously without incident. Upon my arrival in Pittsburgh, I called to verify that the room was available and inquired when I could check in. I was with my 65 year old father. I was informed by "Dave", my reservation was unilaterally canceled. The reason I was given was that "times have changed" and "there were a lot of cancellations recently". Dave then informed me April 2009 was "a long time ago" and that he tried to call me but could not find my phone number. He stated that he could not find my number using 411 directory assistance while acknowledging that I indeed did have a reservation for 11/14/09 and that I had stayed there on 8/29/09, used a credit card to pay for the room and there were no incidents. It was a busy weekend in Pittsburgh over 11/14/09 as there was a nationally televised college football game, NFL game, and NHL game. My weekend with my father was ruined. Dave never gave a reason besides "times have changed". Most of all, I feel bad for my father who was really looking forward to this trip. Needless to say that I will never stay there again. I just would like to prevent Dave and The Morning Glory from ruining anyone else's trip like he did ours.

Wunderschönes Haus - sehr liebevoll eingerichtet! Die "Haushaltshilfe" hat uns ein wunderschön angerichtetes und delikates Frühstück "gezaubert"! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Leider war der Eigentümer des Hauses - für amerikanische Verhältnisse - sehr ruhig. Ein Gespräch ergab sich leider nicht... Der Aufenthalt war dennoch wunderschön!
