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

We just got back from staying at this hotel for one night (Friday night, March 20th to check-out on Saturday morning, March 21st). I went with my sister and my nephew to check out University of Pitt Campus and they had a "Spring Tour" scheduled for Saturday, March 21st. We arrived around 5:30 pm, Friday night. Now, I knew from... more

This hotel was so well managed and with a great professional staff. Breakfast was outstanding and kitchen staff was very friendly. Hotel had a great upbeat look to it. I will definitely be back and will choose this hotel when I return. more

Mediocre extended stay ex apartment building turned residence inn. Staff was very nice but busy. The room was clean. The surrounding area was difficult to navigate. There were no restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, or anything except the university/medical center in the immediate vicinity. The parking set up was a mess. One half of a toilet paper was all that... more

We stayed at this hotel from 2/22/08--2/24/08. Upon arriving at 3:30AM after driving 7 hours through a snowstorm, we were greeted warmly and were quickly given our room. The woman at the front desk was friendly and quite helpful. The hotel is an all suite hotel, and the rooms are beautiful. They have just been renovated, and are all beautifully... more

it was gross we found out when we were checking out that it allowed pets and thats made it even worse. my daughter is allergic to pets and she had an asthma attack while we were there and that is what we narrowed it down to hopefully we wil never have to stay there again. more

Management response from
Hotelrep238, Director of Sales

The only "complaint" listed was regarding that pets were allowed at our property. This is a brand standard of all Residence Inns, and cannot be changed. Therefore, this complaint should not be allowed to post on this website. **In addition, our official name for our hotel is " Residence Inn Pittsburgh University/Medical Center" Please correct.

We made a trip to Pittsburgh to visit our Pitt student over the Thanksgiving holidays and stayed at the Residence Inn for the second time. Our first visit had been about 15 months earlier for the PittStart program and we had enjoyed our stay there very much. Our second visit was equally good. Highlights of this property for us were:... more

This hotel was not easy to find so I would suggest calling the front desk for directions before attempting it on your own. The front desk staff was friendly but after lugging my bags up to the 9th floor, I found that they didn't activate my key correctly and I couldn't get in my room. This was frustrating as is... more

We visited family in Pittsburgh and for the first time couldn't stay with them. Our family suggested this hotel which was nearby. I cannot say enough nice things about every staff member that we came in contact with, save one. They were everything we could ask for--kind, gracious and hospitable. Valorie, the night clerk was exceptional, she went out of... more
