Old, dumpy, out dated by 25 years, but the service was friendly and it was pretty clean. Highlights: Panera on ground level, excellent and free WiFi and free parking. If money is a concern this will do but overall avoid if you can. Ask for high floor to avoid highway noise. More

We booked online a little too close to our trip. We really wanted a room as close to UPMC as we could get since we were visiting some friends. The front desk staff was super accommodating about our cancelled flights and extra delays getting checked in. When we arrived at 3am, there was a loud throng of drunk guys in... More

This hotel, all though centrally placed in Pittsburgh, was a bit of a disappointment. I had a lot of traffic noise outside my window as the hotel is close to some heavily used roads. Also the hotel clearly is over its peak in terms of quality of the rooms. The best I can say about it is that it is... More

This hotel is located near to several hospitals, and is also within walking distance of Southside Works/ Southside. The value is incredible compared with Downtown and Southside hotels. There is a Panera attached which is incredibly convenient. Our only issue is that the website we booked on advertised a refrigerator and we were given a room without one. We immediately... More

We were in town for a wedding and upon check in, the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They let us know that a free shuttle was available and could easily take us to where we needed to go, no problem. The room was clean, but somewhat dated - no bells and whistles, necessarily. Much to their credit, they have... More

I appreciate your kind words about Kim! I'm glad she was able to help you during your stay. I apologize about your noisy neighbors. Did you know we have overnight security? We could have taken care of the situation and saved you from having to bang on the wall. Also, I apologize about the noisy HVAC unit. If you call... More

Stayed here for a Steelers game. Customer Service was great especially Emily. She went out of her way to help me and my boyfriend, as well as another group of people. You don't see that kind of hospitality anymore. Thank you again Emily! The rooms were ok. Nothing special. You get what you pay for. It was clean and the... More

Would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but I really think they do it right there. It's an old hotel and you can tell, but the rooms where clean, the bed comfortable (and we are quite picky), and bathroom had everything we needed. THere was free internet and free parking and free shuttle to CMU. Main reason I gave... More

The only reason I did not give a 5 star is because rooms and bathrooms are a bit dated. It is an excellent location with great staff. I would definitely stay here again. More

I have stayed several times at the Quality Inn University Center. I personally really don't like this hotel very much. I stay here due to its location near Pitt and CMU and my company's travel budget restrictions. The staff are not particularly dialed in at the front desk and the lobby is not particularly welcoming. They are on a fairly... More

No breakfast serve here, but they do have a Panera bread on ground level, you pay for service. If staying at the hotel, get a FREE parking tag. Be sure to have it on car dash board or you will get towed. Good location to University Hospital. Hotel seem old and in need of some serious upgrade. Overall, it was... More
