If you've been to a Courtyard before, you know what to expect. Location is great for the hospitals, less so for CMU or Pitt, but they have a free shuttle service. A few places nearby (Starbucks on site, Panera bread and Sam's club around the corner), more options on Walnut about a ten-minute walk. The lobby is warm and welcoming,... more

I travel a fair amount for business and stay at the Marriott chain exclusively. This was one of my least favorite business stays. The room was not as clean as other Courtyards. The air conditioner makes loud noises constantly whether on or off, as if it is forever assesing the room temperature to see if it needs to turn back... more

Stayed here recently when I flew into town for a quick overnight. Liked the room very much; comfy kingsize, very clean. Staff directed me to a pleasant restaurant (Cafe Sam) around the corner, and a street nearby where I could park and avoid the valet charge, since I was on a budget. I'd stay here again. more

My beef with the Courtyard/Shadyside has to do with the lack of service. The room was large, spotless, comfortable. I was there on a Friday night/Saturday morning. The dining area was only half full; all of the unoccupied tables hadn't been cleared. Breakfast, at $10.95 wasn't worth it, especially when it took a full half hour to just to get... more

Upon arrival, we found the lobby to be warm and inviting with nice decor and a cozy fireplace which was nice after being out in the 20 degree weather! However, the front desk staff consisted of 1 person who appeared to be overwhelmed and relatively unresponsive but check-in went... more

My daughter was looking at colleges in the Pittsburgh area and this hotel was recommended by Chatham College. The hotel is very convenient to Chathm College, CMU, Pitt and Carlow. Actually it's right across the street from one of Pitt's medical buildings. The hotel was very clean. We ate dinner in the restaurant and for restaurant food, it was reasonable... more

I stayed at the Shadyside Courtyard for two nights in January while interviewing at West Penn and Allegheny General Hospitals. Check-in was a breeze, and the room was beautiful. The staff was courteous, and the manager's reception every night was a nice touch. I also enjoyed the complimentary internet in the lobby. I didn't have a car, so I avoided... more

The Courtyard Pittsburgh Shadyside is an outstanding hotel. I stayed here while on business at the University of Pittsburgh. The location was the best aspect of the hotel for me; I was able to walk to my interview, and subsequently walk around such areas as Squirrel Hill and Shadyside to get an idea of apartments (I may be relocating to... more
