“Hotel was great. Really modern and everything we were looking for in a great spot. The room was ok. TV was at a funny angle and there was a cigarette burn in the curtains. Other than that it was an ok hotel.”

• Price and it was a good location.
• I didnt like that I was not told that continental breakfast was not free.

“The courtyard by Marriott in downtown Pittsburgh is a great location, and within walking distance to many attractions. However, be warned, the continental breakfast is not free, and you are not informed of this until after you have gotten your meal. The valet parking was mandatory, but a wonderful feature because dealing with parking anywhere within the vicinity of downtown Pittsburgh would be a nightmare.”

• The staff was extremely helpful. We were grateful for all the assistance we received.
• The clothes rack in the wardrobe wasn't high enough to hang an evening gown. It also smelled like stinky feet. They really should spray it.

“We had a very good time in Pittsburgh and the hotel staff made the wedding, we attended, enjoyable. Great directions from the valet.”

“The staff was friendly. No smoking in the entire hotel. 10-15 min walk to most places. The high ceiling was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again! Advice: There is cheaper parking around the block. If you need a smoke go to the 3rd floor patio.”

• The rooms were beautiful!
• The only parking was valet for 22 per day. Be sure to factor this into the price.

“This hotel was just beautiful. The rooms were great the lobby was great. The location was excellent for those Downtown vacationers. The only gripe I had was the cost of parking which was valet for $22 per day. Plus don't forget tipping for valet. For those who won't utilize the unlimited in and out, then there are public parking a block away for $10. All in all I had an excellent time at this hotel.”

• The valet parking/overnight parking was too expensive.

“The hotel was clean, nice and had a great location. The overnight valet parking was too expensive and the doorman didn't open the door for you. He just kind of stood there and was not very helpful.”

• Conveniently located, near convention center. Free fitness center. High ceilings and tall windows. Friendly staff.
• Across street from convention center but didn't have door opening that way, had to walk around corner. Nuisance in inclement weather.

“Convenient to convention center and the rooms had 12 foot ceilings with 10 foot windows. Beautiful city lights at night.”

• Very clean and modern; there was a rubber duck in the bathroom.
• The bed and furniture were a little bit too firm to be comfortable.

“Clean and modern hotel in a convenient location; close to bars and restaurants, as well as theater. Parking is somewhat inconvenient if not using valet, because the nearest garage is about a block and a half away. Given the price, quality, and location, I would stay here again.”

“The hotel was perfect for what we needed. My husband, 4-month-old daughter and I needed a hotel to stay at while we attended a function at the Omni William Penn. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel as well as the friendliness of the staff. They were also very helpful. The rooms were very quiet and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.”

• Great location and wonderful rooms.
• Parking.

“This is a wonderful hotel for the price. It's in Downtown Pittsburgh near all major attractions. The rooms are exceptionally nice and comfortable. It is way beyond my expectations for a 2.5* hotel. Free Internet and printing is a great touch. Valet parking is a bit expensive (which I did not use) but the hotel is willing to recommend public parking alternatives (which I took advantage of). There is no pool however so if you wish to swim you're out of luck.”

• The location is brilliant and oh so walk able in regards to Downtown Pittsburgh.
• Though the room was relatively spacious, it still was aesthetically ho hum and too practical and the back alley view did not help.

“Location, location, location rules all. Though it lacks the old world charm of its city peer, the omni William Penn hotel, this hotel does not disappoint. The lobby is decked out in an urbane modern, holiday sensibility yet the layout and aesthetics are neither nothing radical nor too Innovative. No points taken off here.”

• The room was really nice. The front staff was friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was decent. The internet service was a dream comes true!
• The bed itself felt damp. The Kiosk to replace pamphlets was not very helpful and did not contain the areas we were looking for.

“This hotel exceeded our expectations. There were a few set backs, and the cost of breakfast was high compared to the quality or service and the food itself. Over all this was a very nice hotel and the staff (especially the front door staff) were very helpful and informative. I would stay at this hotel again if I was ever going to Pittsburgh!”
