Nearly every time my wife and I travel to Pittsburgh for a Steeler's game we try to stay at the William Penn. The rooms are large, clean and usually quiet (more in a bit). The lobby is elegant and a great place to meet friends. What's more, the staff has always been very friendly and accommodating and the location is very convenient. As for the noise level in the rooms: try to stay away from the rooms next to the elevators as they are VERY loud going past your wall at 3 in the morning.

  • Liked — There is a sense of privacy even though it's a large hotel.
  • Disliked — The rooms could be cleaner and could have more lighting.

We arrived at the Omni William Penn after about a 5 hour drive and a half day at work. We dropped our car off with the valet, and the bellman took our bags. At the front desk we were greeted by a smiling and very friendly staff. Priceline had apparently set us up with a two double-beds room, which they happily changed to a king.

This was our first time in Pittsburgh, and we were amazed by how clean and beautiful of a city it was, it was not the rusting steel city we imagined it might be. The William Penn seemed centrally located and we attended a Pirates game that night. We directed ourselves to PNC Park with an easy to read map the hotel gave us. The walk from the hotel to the stadium was refreshing and we took in the city's amazing architecture along the way. The Pirates won, and the walk back late at night seemed very safe.

We spoiled ourselves the next morning and orderd breakfast in bed, I had the steak and eggs, with the eggs over medium, my wife had the eggs benedict. Both meals were excellent.

I would recommend the Omni William Penn to anyone visiting the Steel City, and if we go to Pittsburgh again, we won't name our own price, but gladly choose the Omni William Penn outright at the going rate.

My family and I decided to have a weekend get away. We chose The Omni WIlliam Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, and it was better than we anticipated - just fantastic. Service, atmosphere, food, fitness center, all A+. Our room was spacious and beautiful. Plus the hotel was within walking distance to the PNC Field so we decided to see a night baseball game. No problem what so ever. Easy walk and we felt very safe.
The staff at the hotel wonderful! I just love this hotel and can't wait to visit Pittsburgh again. I highly recommend the Omni to anyone!

We stayed for just one night on July 24th. We used priceline and got a good deal for $125.00. We thought it was a great location for the game at PNC stadium. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was more than adaquate. The staff appeared eager to please. The lobby was beautiful. Unfortunately we were in and out so fast, our review is brief at best. If you are looking for a hotel for the night, this one was perfect for us. Wish we could give a better review but we didn't have a complaint and wanted to relay that. For $125.00 you get all that you pay for. We will definitely stay here again.
