The transportation is convenient. It is more than 600 meters away from the University of Pittsburgh. The hotel is old, but the sound insulation is good. It is very close to the Dinosaur Natural History Museum. The front desk will be very enthusiastic to answer any questions you have. If you park in the parking lot opposite the hotel, you have to pay 29💲 at the hotel. The front desk gave 3 parking coupons to swipe the card and scan the QR code on the coupon.

Really good location, just a few minutes walk from a very nice part of town. The hotel is very modern and comfortable with lovely amenities, including a pool and gym. Breakfast was generous although missing some bits, we were very happy. The room itself was very comfy and although the bedding wasn’t the nicest, it was very clean. I will say the area itself felt a little sketchy at night and we were concerned about the car, but all was fine. It was very different by day!

This is the first and only time I've written a review of a Marriott. I'm doing so because it was that bad. Literally, THAT BAD. To start, I am a Platinum member for many years. So I am very used to very good service at Marriotts. Today, it was the exact opposite. This weekend, Taylor Swift was in town. This made things busy at this hotel. And hectic. And full. And also, most notably, not a surprise. Taylor has been coming to Pittsburgh for almost a year. However, this large hotel seemed confused, confounded and dazed at the number of paid guests who showed up today. They left a very inexperienced ”supervisor” in charge of the hotel and the result was a cluster. This was likely their busiest weekend of 2023 so an actual manager and extra housekeeping staff would have been appropriate. Neither were in place. We tried to check in at 230, which as a Platinum member would never be an issue anywhere. Here, they said they had no rooms. They suggested we get ready for the concert in the lobby bathroom. Yes, of the hotel. So, we did that. We did it with no apology, no emotion, literally zero human communication that recognized what a mess this was. We paid for a suite, but instead got ready in a communal bathroom with hundreds of other misplaced guests. At midnight, we returned to the hotel and tried to get a key for the second room we had already paid for. We were yelled at to get in the regular line, as no Marriott Elite service was available. When I asked what the rate would be since they were checking us in well after midnight, ”Chris” sneered and said he wasn't ”in the mood” as he had already been yelled at today. I'm sure he had been, and that part stinks for him. At 1AM, there was still a line out the door of people trying to check in for rooms they paid for starting hours ago. This hotel is to be avoided. Go to one of the hotels across the street.

I was pleasantly surprised by this small hotel. I liked that it was in a mansion and within walking distance to Phipps Conservatory and the Carnegie museums (both about a 15 minute walk from the hotel). The lobby area is beautifully furnished. Check-in was fast with friendly staff to help with any questions. There is a full bar on site which serves drinks and a few small munchies but no restaurant or room service was available. The bartender was kind enough to give me some help with the local food options. She even went so far as to draw me a small map so I could easily locate the restaurants. (Thanks so much for the extra effort. It was greatly appreciated!) The walk to nearby Shadyside was only about 10 minutes. There were restaurants and bars available plus some shops. The area is safe so I didn't feel uncomfortable walking in late evening. The rooms were clean and modern with standard amenities. I did like that housekeeping service was optional. At check-in, you were asked to chose the type of housekeeping service you would like during your stay. I was only staying in the hotel for two nights so opted out of housekeeping service. My only real complaint was the lack of parking for the hotel. There is off street parking which is good since the hotel sits on a busy street, but the amount of parking is very limited. I only saw eight actual parking spaces. Three of these spaces were not available due to on-site construction. The overflow parking is basically anywhere along the perimeter of the property next to the fence. This is not enough parking for the amount of rooms available. I didn't appreciate having to park in a location where my car could easily by damaged. With the exception of the parking, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would stay again when visiting Pittsburgh.

I could not be more pleased with my stay at this Hotel. The cleanliness and kind and courteous staff where above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend this facility. It is my feeling that the 2 star rating for this Hotel is wrong, I would rate it at least 4.

The people at the front desk are awesome. Hotel is clean with everything you need at hand. I stayed for 2 weeks because I am originally from Pittsburgh and wanted to visit family. Not luxurious but priced right. Been there before and will go back

It is a relatively clean hotel with a bit of characteristics, with its own parking lot, but the location is not very central, the only fly in the ointment is that the room is at the intersection, from the window is the intersection, the night and early morning vehicles flow endlessly, very noisy, people who sleep poorly can pay attention when they check in
