While visiting family in the Pittsburgh area, we stayed at the Residence Inn by the University. We chose this hotel because of the style of room. We wanted a larger room, with seperate sleeping areas, and we could all be together in with a kitchen area. We reserved a one bedroom and were confirmed a one bedroom and told that... more

This was the only hotel available in the area for my stay. I'm surprised to see it billed as "pet friendly" with a non-refundable $100 per stay pet fee. If you're staying for a month, fine, but for a short get-away it's crazy. The cleaning staff spent no longer cleaning the rooms of the folks who had pets on our... more

The pictures of this hotel looked pretty good, but the inside was run-down and had a bit of an odor. The people were very friendly, but the hotel is in need of a remodel. more

Staff was very friendly. Location was great (we took the bus to the Steeler's game, it was just a walk away.) I chose this hotel because they were pet friendly, and because of the price. The hotel exceeded my expectations. It is not a high end hotel, with the frills, but it was a great place for us to stay... more

Actually, the first and second times were "charms" too. Our Pitt student was on study abroad last year, so it had been almost 2 years since our last visit to this Residence Inn. Our previous two visits were so good that I made sure that we booked a night at the Residence Inn when we helped move our student to... more

If you are doing college tours in Pittsburgh, the Residence Inn is a great choice. The rooms are more spacious than a typical hotel, and include a full kitchen. Although the hotel was full the night we were there, there was almost no noise to be heard inside the room. There is a garage for parking, but since we were... more

Perfect location in relation to Tree's Pool at the University of Pittsburgh. Great Shuttle Service, and the Terrace could not have been better for unwinding with the other swim team families after the meet Rooms were perfect for the family and they modified the breakfast schedule to get us to the pool each morning on time. There we finals each... more

I have been a customer of this hotel for 5+ years now (my daughter went through undergrad and is now in grad school in Pittsburgh so we are frequent customers). We first discovered this hidden gem with a web search when looking for the best price in the Oakland area. All other hotels were booked. The first visit was a... more

I had no say in staying at this hotel - in Pittsburgh for a conference (we stayed Friday-Sunday) and the leader of our group booked this place. I would not choose it! There is absolutely nothing nearby as far as restaurants or shopping. It was at least a mile walk downtown but even the security guard told us not to... more
