I was at the University of Pittsburgh for a conference and stayed here for 2 nights. The location is great - easy walking distance to the University, Carnegie Mellon, museums and places to eat. But, the unexpected plus was the service. The people at the desk were very helpful with taxi service to the airport, directions, and they even brought... More

Spent 3 days at the hotel for business purposes. Location was great on Forbes street, close to Pitt, Carnegie Hall, Carnegie Museum, and a bunch of great places to dine and drink. Facilites at hotel were nice. The gym had one of the best elipticals I have ever used. Front desk people were all great. Only one drawback to hotel... More

This was my second stay at this HGI. Rooms are clean with new furnishings. The hotel serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff is friendly. The only negative is valet parking at $18. Per day. You can park 1/2 block away for $5 and save money. More

I stayed her for a couple of days in April, 2012. The hotel is clean and comfortable for the most part. My first room reeked so badly of paint that I had to request a new one. The second room reeked equally badly of air freshener. Apparently the HVAC in this property does a poor job of introducing outside air.... More

We stayed here during Carnegie Mellon's Spring Carnival. It has been recently renovated since Hilton took over and I have to say it looks great! This is the best Hilton Garden Inn I've ever stayed at! The staff are friendly and hospitable from the Front Desk to the restaurant. It seem like they are working out some kinks in the... More

My husband, stepson and I were here to visit the college campuses which were no more than a 5-10 minute from the hotel. We were here for three days in the middle of the week.

The staff is great. The location and amenities are great. I did not sleep last night and am considering calling the comfort inn down the street to see if they have any rooms available. The "newest sleep technology" adjustable beds they have are terriable. I have slept on more comfortable futons in dorm rooms. No amount of adjusting makes this... More

I stayed here while visiting colleges with my child. It is on the UPitt campus and about 4000ft to CMU. Rooms are clean. There was traffic noise but it was covered by the white noise of the air conditioner. Breakfast and dinner were ok. It is a good location for visiting schools and very affordable. More

Great room with all the amenities (including a fridge and microwave) and very friendly, professional and helpful staff.
