This hotel would have been a perfect stay had it not been for the construction two buildings down. A LARGE jackhammer was running well into the wee hours of the morning. When I called the front desk, it was clear that the clerk had been trained on how to deal with this problem. All I was offered were the foam... More

We stayed for marathon weekend 2012 Our experience was great right from the start. We requested an early check in, but did not anticipate our room being ready at 12:00. This was a huge bonus since we were able to get to our rooom before the expo which was located in the convention center right next door to the hotel.... More

I stayed at this property years ago. My company put me up there, and I was scared for I had never stayed in a hotel by myself. Every single person was so nice to me. The Valet was always so polite, even if I had a gross green rinky dink car at the time. The person at the door always... More

A nice Courtyard Marriott, good lobby that actually had people using it, and a great location for a lot of downtown activities, esp walking to and from the ballpark after a Pirates-Phillies night game. Near many restaurants, and you could walk the eight-ten blocks up to the Strip if you wanted. The parking valet worked very rapidly for us ($22... More

Thanks for choosing our hotel and for your review Philadelphian35, we appreciate your kind comments. To answer your question, Marriott is replacing the buffet breakfast with the new Bistro in all Courtyards, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience with ours.

Who knew Pittsburgh had a bar with a stellar wine collection? I expected ripple in a brown bag, but the place, whatever it's called, really impressed. Like with so many rust belt cities, you are not here on pleasure, you are here checking up on the branch office. It is located in the PPG plaza, so you must stay nearby.... More

Stayed here overnight, after attending a show. My room was extremely nice, and well appointed. All staff that I came into contact with were very pleasant. I had a problem with my showerhead. Engineering came up and fixed it right away. No complaints. Very nice hotel. Would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here one night while partying in the city celebrating his retirement. The room was very nice, staff excellent, bed just ok. The best part is the location in the heart of downtown's cultural district within walking distance of PNC Park, Heinz Hall, Benedum, etc. There are plenty of great restaurants located on Penn Avenue.

We were here over the Christmas holiday and found a few great things to do in the area with our grandkids. The ice skating rink was just around the corner in easy walking distance.

Stayed here for two nights to be near Amtrak. Very nice room, good service. Nice restaurant. Not really sure about the area so much as I didn't venture out, but my experience at the hotel itself was very good to great. Would highly recommend if you're visiting P'burgh!
