We travel to Pittsburgh every year at holiday time to visit old friends. We typically select a hotel at the last minute because our plans sometimes change and we are flexible. We stayed at the Cambria Suites at the Consol Energy Center and could not have been happier with our choice. W got a great rate of $94 and stayed for four nights. The bed was among the best that we have had in our hotel stays. The fitness center was fantastic and modern. The only small negative that I would add is that I don't consider the rooms to be a suite, but rather to be a slightly larger room than a normal room in a hotel but with a divider. Maybe this was the style of room we had (1 king suite), but it didn't give us the space we expected. We have two teenage children. They were staying with friends in town, so the room size as not an issue. If the kids did stay with us, however, the room would have been very tight.

We had tickets to see the Gaither Christmas Homecoming and I was looking for a hotel near Consol Energy Center. Wow - what a find! Easy parking, a few steps to the Center, pleasant staff, A nice surprise was the availability of sandwiches, salads and snacks after the show was over (about 9:45 p.m.) great for an area that has few "eateries" nearby. I want to go back for a longer weekend!

We stayed for an event at the Consol Energy Center. The best thing about this hotel is probably the parking. The hotel uses the top floor of the arena garage for hotel guests only, which backs up to the hotel. Parking is $14, which is highly competitive with other area hotels. The arena was adjacent, which was why we chose it. The hotel was very nice inside. Lots of great hockey touches for fans. Service was courteous. The room was very nice, two flat screen tvs with extensive channel selections (even NHL network!), mini fridge and microwave. I don't drink coffee but they had a Kuerig (sp?) machine in the room. One tv had a media connectivity panel for hooking up a laptop, mp3 player, etc to the tv. The room was nicely decorated. The bathroom had a basin sink, which looked cool but got in the way. They offered Bath & Body Works products. We didn't have any food there, but it always seemed lots of people were there. Breakfast was not included. Pool, fitness center and business center were available. Very nice and cheapest of the area hotels during our stay, I will stay again if I have the chance.

My wife's family lives in Pittsburgh and we visit frequently staying at various hotels both right in the city and on the outskirts. This was our first stay at the Cambria Suites in downtown Pittsburgh. My wife, my 14 year old son and I were in town for a couple of nights over the Christmas holidays. The overall experience was outstanding beginning with the helpful and courteous staff. The room (2 king suite) was gorgeous and very roomy (my 14 year old was thrilled to have his own king bed, separate area and TV). The shower is super powerful. The beds and pillows were just right and we all slept comfortably at the Cambria. There is a very convenient bar and restaurant adjacent to the lobby serving very good food and drinks. Although you have to pay for parking, it is close and easily accessible. The location gives easy access to all points, north, south, east and west (downtown, the southside and the strip are very close). We will definitely return!
