There are a lot of good things about this Hampton Inn. The beds are really comfortable, coffee and hot water are available at all hours, the breakfast is really good, the room is clean, towels are plentiful and the service at the front desk and the breakfast room is great. The hotel could use new carpeting and maybe a bit... More

There is a reason this Hotel was so cheap! It is located in the midst of some of the worst urban decay that one can imagine (well, Eight Mile Road and Gratiot Ave in Detroit is worse). There are plenty of burned-out abandoned buildings that surround this property, so there are plenty of rooms available in the neighborhood. You will... More

I like the Hampton Inn family of hotels, and Hampton Inn University Center is another reason why. The corporate culture stresses friendliness to the staff and it shows in how they treat their guests. Little amenities, such as cookies in the afternoon 24 hour coffee in the lobby are perks of staying at the Hampton Inn, but candy next to... More

I was looking for more amenities, given the price. The immediate neighborhood was ok, but offered very little in restaurant options. The staff was friendly and the room was reasonably clean. More

I stayed here for one night on a business trip; the rate was lower than most everything else in or near the downtown Pittsburgh area. The front desk staff upon arrival (relatively late) was very pleasant, and they were also helpful in the morning when I needed a cab that took credit cards. Breakfast, as always with Hampton, was quite... More

Was here just one night, to visit Carnegie Mellon. The staff were kind and smiling ( including shuttle service) - they helped me with toothpaste, band-aids, and a really great breakfast. The room was very clean, large and comfortable. I had a great night, at a great price. More

This hotel was perfect for my short business trip to Pittsburgh. The room was large, with a spacious bathroom, comfy bed, and flatscreen tv, and the temperature was easily adjusted (very helpful since the weather turned unexpectedly chilly while I was there, with April snow flurries). A free breakfast was included with my room, which was quite convenient, and also... More
