I am a frequent Hilton properties visitor (Hilton Diamond). This is a very nice hotel, clean, fairly new and in a surprisingly convenient location. For instance, "South Side" of Pittsburgh is literally across the bridge (great shopping, restaurants, etc.) Oakland is a cool location as well (home of University of Pittsburgh and many of the city's great hospitals). My big... more

This Hampton experience was disappointing overall. We spent over 60 minutes trying to find it after getting directions from the front desk staff (twice), and we were within 1.5 miles! Even the landmarks used did not make sense at the time as I misheard the cross street name. Once we did arrive; frustrated and very hot there was not a... more

This was our first trip to Pittsburgh so it was tough to pick a hotel at randem. We lucked out with this pick. The hotel is located in Oakland, within walking distance of the University of Pittsburgh. It is a newer hotel - nice lobby and very nice rooms. The bedding is soft and the bathrooms are modern. That's important... more

This is my favorite hotel chain and this one lived up to my expectations. Room was clean, bathroom was unique (no bathtub, nice shower). Great Views of the city and one of the rivers (don't know which one) Parking is $14 per night, they give you a tag to hang on the rear view mirror. One note this hotel is... more

We went to Hampton in this Summer and stayed for a couple of nights. The front desk people seemed to seize us up and down before deciding what to answer when we asked them any questions, giving us the impression that we were bothering them asking for directions and so forth. They did not volunteer to tell us about the... more

I have always found that Hampton Inns are clean, reliable and extremely friendly and professional. Our family travel by car quite a bit and always wait to stop until we find a Hampton Inn. I will also say I have never "not" found one en route. Prices are acceptable and most do have all the amenities as well. more

Really helpful and friendly people at front desk! My tiny room had old, beat up furniture and a few TV stations (plus small, out of date TV!) Small parking lot in semi-seedy area of Pittsburgh. I checked out a day early. more

My daughter and I had spent the better part of a week, traveling to visit East Coast colleges. After spending the night in Philadelphia, we tried to change our airline tickets to just fly home and avoid one more hotel, one more school, one more night..Thank Goodness we didn't! We flew into Pittsburgh, and, on the advice of the hotel,... more

My family has been staying at the Hampton Inn - University Center for over 6 years. We discovered this Gem Away from Home when our older son was on a recruiting visit for Carnegie Mellon. Our son ultimately did choose CMU and we have stayed at the University Center through 4 football seasons as well as spring, summer & winter... more
