Summer of 2011 I liked this place, especially the convenience of the executive club lounge and the basement parking garage. So for a trip to important meeting I prepaid 3 nights here in January 2012 confident I would enjoy it again. I was wrong. They say in their current descriptions that they’re undergoing some renovations, but they also say: "During... More

Stayed here for two nights for a friend's wedding in January. The ceremony and reception were all within walking distance, so I didn't rent a car... that ended up working out really well, since this HI is located in the heart of the University of Pittsbugh campus with lots of restaurants, bars, etc. within a 5-10 minute walk. This is... More

Spent a wonderful weekend with Family watch college basketball. The facility was very nice. The we're doing some renovation, but we never saw or heard it. What truly makes this hotel a wonderful experience is the staff. It is true from the very beginning with the wonderful ladies at the front desk. The staff in the bar was very attentive... More

My family and I stayed here for a nearby wedding. Upon arrival we found out that our room was not ready as it was supposed to be. We got in late, so this was a real inconvenience. The staff was supposed to bring an extra bed for our kids and pu it in our room as we had asked for... More

First of all, this hotel has a fabulous location in the center of Oakland, the university/hospital neighborhood of Pittsburgh, almost completely surrounded by the Pitt campus and very near CMU and other attractions. That's why I wanted to stay there, and for the convenient location it can't be beat. But the parking availability is limited and the first night I... More

This hotel was great. The staff were super friendly. The best part was the free shuttle service with the wonderful drivers. I even forgot my iPhone charger and they picked it up to my room and delivered it to the convention center where my conference was, free of charge. The food was pretty good, friendly bar. The Spinach and artichoke... More

I have to stay here against my will due to business arrangements. No improvement from the last time: poor service, arrogance and lack of customer service. First shift front desk people are the worst. It is a total rip-off for the price versus quality. More

I was a little concerned after reading some other reviews that questioned cleanliness, bed quality, and service, so I felt I had to write this to set the story straight even though I've never written one here. We used hot-wire to get a good rate. The hotel is perfectly fine, yes a little dated and would benefit from upgrading. But... More

I am only going to add to the reviews already posted so far, which are quite accurate. It's an average hotel with a great location. But what is up with its restaurant that seems to be open for exactly 30 minutes twice a day? Want breakfast? It's closed. Hungry for some lunch? Oh, it's closed. Feel like a late night... More
