This hotel is located less than a mile from Univ of Pitt. The walk from Pitt back to hotel was about 20 minutes with a pretty consistent incline (nice little workout!). For those who want something more convenient, the hotel offers a shuttle service with very pleasant and knowledgeable drivers. Check with the front desk on shuttle times (they run... More

It was ok but it should have been less expensive. $40-$50 less would have made it well worth it. More

This hotel was just ok. There wasn't anything major that was bad, but a couple things did turn me off. I lost the TV signal for the HD channels about 8:30pm. The juice machine wasn't working at breakfast. They should have put up a sign. The room could have used some overall updating. For the amount of money I paid,... More

Stayed at this facility many times, it is convenient location to "Univ of Pitt", my daughter attends. And also when going to Steeler games. They have a shuttle that takes you to Heinz field but not one to pick you up. You have to get a cab back for $20. Alittle inconvenient but not that bad if you walk over... More

I was in Pgh for my mom's surgery at Presby Hospital. The hotel was nestled amongst a few apt buildings and houses which gave it a quaint-calm feeling. The entrance to the hotel did not have the 'front desk' as soon as I walked in and I had to go to a different floor to check in. That was really... More

We're former Pittsburghers, so we didn't expect a swanky hotel in the heart of the University district. We expected a comfortable Residence Inn. And it has all of the amenities you expect from a Residence Inn, except that during our visit our room was DIRTY. I particularly recall stepping on the sticky linoleum, touching the grease covered microwave, finding debris... More

Higher end hotels where you and your dogs are welcome can be a rarity, which is why my recent combo business/pleasure stay here was so enjoyable. I requested a room at the end of a hallway on a lower floor to minimize the chance of barking at unfamiliar noises and we had a perfect set up--last room at the end... More

I'd stayed here before and was very satisfied, especially enjoying the hot breakfast. The room and hot breakfast on my last stay were both fine but with one exception. The mattresses are now covered with plastic to protect people from bedbugs. This is ok if you sleep in pajamas. However, if you sleep in the nude as I do, the... More
