“Excellent place to stay in Downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

Stayed here for business. Very surprised by this great Courtyard. Stayed in a room with 12 ft ceilings and had plenty of room. Staff was very friendly and the lobby and rooms were very clean. Within walking distance of several restaurants and attractions.

“FIVE STARS!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

What a wonderful surprize! The hotel is located in the heart of downtown of Pittsburgh..valet parking available as well as metered/lot parking nearby. The lobby is very modern, offering many amenities in a bright open layout..spacious, well appointed, .business center; ample comfortable seating with a large, flat screened tv; beverages and light snacks available free in the lobby; and friendly, knowledgeable staff. In addition, there is a Starbucks satellite shop in the rear of the lobby- which provides the free breakfast - choice of eggs, bacon, sausage, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, baked goods, granola, fresh fruit, coffee, juices and more all cooked to order and delivered to your table, OR available to go.
Our room had free internet, a very comfortable King sized bed, well lit desk for working, couch and coffee table as well as a view of the courtyard and was extremely clean. Very modern, and up to date...hallways and elevators were also current and well maintaned.
There are many places to dine within a one block radius in every price range...we chose to dine at the adjoining restaurant, which was obviously popular with locals as evidenced by the many patrons...there is an extensive wine inventory with knowledgeable servers and an eclectic menu featuring tasty entress like mango and habernero pepper sauce over crabcakes served with fettucine..yum...
Just a five minute drive from famous Station Square...strip of restaurants/bars on the waterfront.
And finally, easy access to interstate and turnpike...left, left, right...:)
Would highly recommend this hotel..can think of nothing to fault...you won't go wrong here!

Dear SlySugar:
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a wonderful review of our hotel. Though we cannot take credit for the wonderful restaurants or numerous area attractions within walking distance, we will thank you for recognizing our team for their friendliness and dedication. I'm always surprised about how much knowledge there is between everyone here: we have food-connoisseurs, sports FANATICS, history-buffs, theater-triple-threats, music-lovers… all who love to show-off their interests and what Pittsburgh has to offer! Our bistro team and room attendants make us look good every day, offering a delicious breakfast and immaculately clean rooms. Sonoma Grille is an area staple! If you loved the crab-cakes please promise me you’ll start with their signature Fisherman’s Wharf Chowder on your next visit!

Thank you again for the wonderful review and your patronage… we hope to see you again on your next trip to Pittsburgh!
At your service, Francisco Selles

“Great for a game or anytime!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

Rooms are spacious, reception staff friendly and helpful, valet service great! We were here for a Steelers game and it was an easy walk to the stadium (no more than 1 mile). The Sharp Edge Bistro just down the street is a great stop for a quick meal and great Belgian beer. The Strip district shopping and food are close by. Although we didn't see a show the theater district is within a block or two. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. The only reason I don't give this hotel a 5 is the mattresses are little stiff and hard. I would definitely stay here again.

Betsaroo :
Thank you for taking a moment to write a review about your stay with us at the Courtyard by Marriott Pittsburgh Downtown. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our hotel and its spacious rooms (our rooms are big to begin with and with the vaulted ceilings they take on an added presence). I also wanted to thank you for recognizing our valet and front desk team. They are truly committed to taking care of our guests.
The Sharp Edge is a happenin' spot specializing in Belgian brews... in fact, every restaurant in the neighborhood has its claim to fame. Within a block you can find a California wine bistro, a Latin tapas bar, Thai food, and a gastropub-speakeasy! Short to say, you won't go hungry!
Don't wait for football season to return. The Pens are back, and a Pirates game at PNC Park is an awesome way to spend a summer's day!
Attentively, Francisco Sellés

“Great location in the theater district”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

This Courtyard is a great location for attending events in the theater district and is also in walking distance of many fine restaurants. The hotel offers an up to date decor with rooms that are a comfortable size. The breakfast may be somewhat limited but was quite ample for us. The staff is very friendly and seem to take great pleasure and pride in their jobs. It may not be as plush as the Renaissance or the Fairmont, but it offers a great value in an ideal location.

Carribeantraveler52,
We appreciate hearing from you and receiving such a wonderful review. It's great to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our staff friendly and helpful; our team certainly makes my work here incredibly gratifying. I'm glad you enjoyed our theater district too. I found myself constantly hearing guests rave about the performances coming through, so this year, I was compelled to subscribe to the season and it has already been a real treat! You can follow the schedule of events by visiting pgharts.org

Please visit us again, we sincerely look forward to your return!
Sincerely,
Francisco Selles, General Manager

“Almost a five”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

We came to watch the Steelers play - that turned out to be the only real disappointment of the weekend. Hotel is well located, rooms good and clean and staff friendly and helpful. Why not a five? Mattress was slightly dodgy and breakfast included was a bit spartan. However, overall it was a great stay. Was surprised to see a couple of poor ratings recently....

Room Tip: Stay on higher level floor away from lifts
