I didn't expect to stay at four different hotels on my recent weeklong trip to Pittsburgh. It just…read morehappened due to various weather conditions and logistical considerations. I stayed here one night because I thought the trendy Bloomfield neighborhood would provide a nice change-of-pace from the more established downtown area. I was also planning to drive to upstate New York and thought this would be a convenient location for a faster getaway. Well, a sudden winter snowstorm forced me to cancel the side trip to New York, and I ended up spending very little time exploring Bloomfield because I took a long nap in my room after a sleepless night in the previous hotel. Even though it was bordering on pointless to shift to this hotel, I still enjoyed the studio I reserved for $152. There was a comfortable king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a corner sofa, and a 360-degree swivel flatscreen TV. It was a lot of amenities I didn't need, but hey, it was freezing cold, so the apartment set-up made it feel cozy. One other advantage was a sizable lot to park my rental SUV. Even though they offered a happy hour and continental breakfast, I skipped both. Instead I braved the cold and just strolled on Baum to find a decent greasy spoon for dinner and a quiet gay bar for a drink. Not a bad stay, and I'd consider a return to explore Bloomfield.

I recently had an overnight stay at Hyatt House with my daughter. I was overall very happy with my…read morestay. Positives: Room was very clean and spacious. The lobby area was really pretty and so much larger than it appears from outside. Free breakfast! The pool was nice and heated. We had it to ourselves both times we went in it during our stay. The hotel is located is a great area. Cons: It seems like the furniture was poor quality. Multiple times during the stay there was a panel that kept falling off the table in the kitchen area. The parking is pricey. I absolutely hate paying for parking. I wish this came with the hotel stay as it was also already priced on the higher end. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. I would probably pick a day that didn't fall on a holiday weekend for a less expensive stay.

Hotel Monaco is one of my favorite hotels ever. We recently had a little staycation and had an…read moreawesome experience. The rooms are spacious and clean, the decor is eclectic and beautiful, and the staff is always friendly. I love the signature scent throughout the hotel too. They have a great "forgot it, we got it" program that you can ask for pretty much anything from phone chargers to hair straighteners. Definitely would recommend this hotel!

Quirky whimsical hotel. The hotel check in was really smooth, the staff person (I wish I got her…read morename) was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure our check in was complete, especially as we booked weirdly. They do free coffee in the am and also wine and beer in the evening. The rooms are a nice size and the bathroom amenities are good. I would stay here again.

Here's our experience. 1) Check-In: One unique aspect of this hotel is that the check-in is on the top floor with a beautiful view of Pittsburgh. Take the elevator to the 10th floor and two check in stands are right when the elevator doors open. The entire check-in experience took about five minutes. The woman helping us was efficient, personable, and even gave us a walking map of the area. She also gave us two drink vouchers to use on house beer, wine, or a mocktail at the hotel bar. 2) Rooms: Our larger room was on the 4th floor with two queen sized beds. The room corridor was wide, making it look much larger. There are plenty of outlets everywhere, lights, a TV, a Keurig machine, a fridge, and more. The bathroom was spacious with a toilet room with a closing door inside, a large shower, and Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The beds are semi comfy and come with lots of pillows. 3) Amenities: There's no pool, but there is a gym with machines and weights. There's also a small rooftop terrace with a view of the Cathedral of Learning, work areas, and more. There's valet parking and a cheaper parking garage not connected to the hotel across the street. One interesting aspect of the hotel is that it's on the site of the Syrian Mosque, a large music venue. A recording studio, guitar, etc. inside the hotel are all nods to the music venue. 4) Service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. After a day of exploring, our room had a nice card with chocolate, macarons, and raspberries, and nice water for us. My wife forgot her toothbrush and the front desk gave her a free one from behind the desk! 5) Neighborhood: It's next to a number of museums and monuments and the Cathedral of Learning, which is worth a tour to see their Nationality Rooms.

The food choices at the bar need to be less upscale, and more like typical bar food and a sign pointing to the garage for valet would save a loop around the block.

The building is huge, with lots of space for receptions an conferences, etc. Breakfast is an extra - about $20. And it's not much better than the breakfast at a Hampton. It just takes longer because it is made to order and there is slightly bigger selection. The sink in my room is very slow to drain. There is no clock in the room, but there is a fridge, microwave, and keureg. The front desk staff are delightful.

A gorgeous hotel. Walking in it felt warm and inviting while also looking fancy…read more When we arrived, we first drove past the entrance because we weren't sure if it was the correct address, plus there was a van pulling out, blocking any cars from getting in. We were a little early for check-in and everyone was so welcoming while we waited. We stayed in a standard queen bed room, which had a fireplace and large closet and bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean. We were there for a wedding and the venue coordinator, Zach, did a great job with making sure everything was set up. There was another party going on the evening we stayed the night and you could hear it clearly from our room. Thin walls and floors is the downside of staying in a historical building.

I stayed in one of the king bed rooms the night before a wedding and it was a wonderful experience. The room got a little cold at night, so we decided to sleep with the fireplace on. The fireplace in the hotel room was a nice, cozy touch. If you are handicapped, or have trouble with stairs, definitely let the hotel staff know. There is one elevator in the building that only goes to level 2. The venue coordinator for the wedding was also fantastic to work with!

The food tasted very nice, but you get one sliver of quiche, one quarter of a cream cheese dill sandwich on white bread, one silver dollar size chicken salad sandwich, 2 scones, and 2 tiny squares of cake (maybe 1 inch by one inch) and a silver dollar size pavlova, with numerous bagged tea options with fairly inattentive service for $65 a person after tax and tip. Gorgeous space but would not recommend at all for the price, service, and for this price you would also expect more luxury small bites, such as salmon. Went with great company, but will need to find a different local spot for our next occasion.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here. The decor is so sweet and charming and the service is…read moreattentive. I really enjoyed the selection of teas (we tried several) as well as the food. Everything from the sandwiches to the scones to the sweets were tasty. They weren't the fanciest I've experienced at afternoon tea but they were good! That being said, they advertise it as high tea which is NOT correct. That's an entirely different thing (more of a supper) and is not interchangeable with "afternoon tea." What they have here is afternoon tea and I wish they would advertise it as such. Aside from that pet peeve of mine, using the wrong terminology, it's a nice spot and I would recommend it if you're in the area.

Service was overall good at each venue. The lobby restaurant didnt open until 5pm. However the pub was able to accommodate our needs. The adjacent bakery and coffee shop was a nice venue to have. Rooms were of ample size for a historic city property

Omni never disappoints with its pop-up bars…read more Cutest Valentine's Day decor? Ambiance with the flowers + lighting? Tasty drinks that also were spot on with the cups? The bartenders were nice and made great drinks, so you got the bang for your buck. The seating wasn't too bad but we also went when it opened. The lighting was a little too dark for my liking but the colors from the decor helped to spritz it up. Can't wait for the next one!

Very happy with our stay at Drury Plaza Pittsburgh. The hotel is located in the busy downtown area…read more We went with valet for parking as this was easier than trying to find a spot. The valet is $40 overnight but you can get your car as many times as needed. The check in experience was easy and the manager Heather was the best. We were informed our room was upgraded which was such a nice surprise. They also explained the amenities including a pool, hot tub, roof top lounge, free pop and popcorn at 4pm, 5:30pm dinner kick back with free drinks, and breakfast. The building was previously a federal reserve bank and still has the original bank vaults in the basement area, which are now meeting rooms. The food at the breakfast and 5:30 kickback were fairly good for a hotel buffet. They had a nice variety of options and it saved us from having to go out for these meals. Everyone working on staff was super helpful and kind. They checked on us while eating to see how we enjoyed our meals. We loved our room! Did not expect to have two TVs and a nice sitting area. The beds were comfy and the room was very clean. It was a 10 minute walk from the PPG arena where we went for a concert. My third time staying at a drury plaza hotel. They are the best!

I'm extremely disappointed in our recent stay at the Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh East. My friend and I…read morebooked this hotel for two nights and I truly wish we stayed anywhere else. We've had great experiences with other Hotel Indigos and we were willing to stay a bit outside of the city to stay at this trusting brand, but we were very sorry we did. While the hotel appears decent on the exterior the rooms are anything but clean. Our trip started with arriving to what appeared to be an okay room. The room/hall had a vague scent of mold but that as the least of our worries. When I went to put my water bottle in the fridge I noticed there was a McChicken from a previous guest. The fridge also smelled so it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Upon further inspection the room had multiple stains on our bedding as seen below. I travel often and I have never been in a hotel room so dirty. The floor had clearly not been swept in between guests as evidenced from a penny and some crumbs found near the trash can. In addition to the dirty interior the bathroom and shower were not cleaned. The shower had hair from a guest that was neither myself or my traveling partner. There were also cracks in the walls throughout the bathroom. In addition to the disgusting room the hotel also employs one person for the Valet. The lines to get your car were consistently long and for $32 per night it really didn't seem worth it. If this were a cheap hotel I would simply say you get what you pay for but it's not. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. While the area surrounding the hotel is decent, the hotel itself is not worth it. You can pay a similar amount for a hotel in a more central location with better cleanliness. The only reason the review is 2 stars instead of 1 is because the AC worked very well and we were visiting during a heat wave. Overall, we will not be returning to this Hotel Indigo.

Only a single person checking people in and I was next in line. Will admit that she apologized but it didn't at all speed things up. So trying to settle in and the tv didn't work. Maintenance guy came and tried a few things and just walked out the door mumbling to himself. Went down to the front desk because they kept on hanging up on me. They then offered to move me into another room. Great. Got to the other room. A TV worked. But there were no towels. Called down and the didn't come for 15 minutes so I went to the front desk and they were just sitting there. Were they expecting me to come up? I guess I should have known since I had to go down to find out that they want to move me to a [smaller] room. I've been here a few times over the last few years but will look elsewhere. This place has been run down and the service has declined.

Great price for a cute little two story get-away. I came to Pittsburgh to visit my sister, and this…read morecharming "hotel" in Lawrenceville fit the bill perfectly. There is a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, a gigantic bathroom, and there is even an inflatable mattress downstairs as well as a queen sized bed upstairs. It would be a tight squeeze to inflate the mattress. but I slept on the super comfy couch. It would be a great place to stay for a week or a weekend (I only stayed for one night). Note: the price is excellent, but you should be aware that check in is after 3pm, and check out is at 11am. A little inconvenient if you are only staying for a night (I ended up just buying two nights so that I could sleep in). HOWEVER, the value of not having to rent a car and find a place to park while in lawrenceville COMPLETELY made up for it. All in all the Briarwood Home is a great place to stay at while in Lawrenceville!
