Hotel accommodations were good, but the shuttle driver “John” was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond the call of duty, and was so professional and polite. Thanks for everything John, you made our first time in Pittsburgh and seeing the Steelers well worth the experience!

Everyone was very helpful. Yet, John (driver of shuttle) went over and above to take care of everyone in my party. From making certain that it was safe to enter or exit shuttle at our destination to assisting those whom needed a little extra help. John was fantastic. We arrived early prior to our check in time and John spoke up asking if we would like to go somewhere while we wait for our room. Later after sharing that we had several traveling together that would be dining out, John offered that he would be happy to take us to and return us from our destination when needed providing his phone number for our convenience. He alone made our stay at the Cambria memorable.

Just visited Pittsburgh this weekend for a wedding and stayed here. Best part about it was the shuttle service. The driver was named John and he was so professional and personable, he was funny and taught us about local places to visit while in Pittsburgh. Would recommend this service and driver if you’re in town.

John was absolutely amazing! He was our shuttle bus from the hotel to the square! We had two small children with us and he helped us out so much! If we come back we want John as our driver. Very friendly

I chose to stay at the Cambria Hotel for a weekend getaway and was blown away by the pictures - it looked so clean (NOT!). Upon arrival, which was 2 hours after check-in, we were told that they didn’t have a room for us and we had to wait over 2 hours to check in, even though we were assured that our booking was guaranteed by Hotels.com. They originally told us it was because of a “major housekeeping issue,” but then this excuse changed several times over the course of the two hours we waited. The only compensation we received was parking fee waived and breakfast the following morning. The supervisor (older man) and manager (Debbie) on duty were rude, disrespectful, dismissive of our concerns, and didn’t take accountability for anything! They actually blamed the issue on us booking it through a third party. Anyways, after 2 hours we were finally given a room. When we went up, we immediately noticed there were NO towels, NO trash bags, and NO cups. The bed was all wrinkly and looked slept in. The pillows and shower had long, brown hair and makeup stains all over them. The ground had a large pink stain that wasn’t even attempted to be cleaned up. We moved the couch and found a curly fry, crumbs, and a rubber duck with MOLD in it. It only is that DISGUSTING, but a MAJOR HEALTH CONCERN. We then noticed dark gray clumps of dust in the air conditioner and behind the mirror. We were absolutely DISGUSTED by the filth and KNEW this room was not cleaned. We were told the hotel was at capacity and after already waiting 2 hours, we wanted to just stick it out and make it work for the short time were in Pittsburgh. We took pictures with the intentions of submitting them when we left, as our previous concerns were largely dismissed by the supervisor and manager. These two employees treated me and my boyfriend poorly and I truly believe it’s because my boyfriend and I look very young (we’re both 25 but look 16). This felt like we were being treated differently because of how we looked, which is a form of ageism and discrimination. We should be treated the same as any other paying customer, and the customer should ALWAYS be treated with the upmost respect. Besides the rude customer service, long wait time, and FILTHY room, we also had concerns about the housekeeping. When we walked to our hotel room, we spotted a housekeeper cleaning a room. We walked past this same housekeeper 3+ times from initially going into the room, then past it going to/from the pool. Each of the times we passed, we smelled strong odors of marijuana. As far as I'm aware, marijuana is illegal in Pennsylvania for recreational use. Even if it were legal, there shouldn't be any smoking in the hotel rooms, especially not from hotel staff. As a person that is extremely sensitive to the smells of marijuana and cannabis, this was extremely frustrating and irritating to me and my nose. I absolutely hate the smell and it did not sit well with me that I could smell it outside my hotel room. And to add, this person was “cleaning” the same room for 3+ hours, and I’m wondering if he also “cleaned” my room but left hair in the shower and bed, wrinkled sheets, pink stains on the floor, inch-thick dust, curly fries and other crumbs, and a moldy rubber duck in my room. I’m also wondering if he “forgot” to give us all the BASIC NECESSITIES of a hotel room - bags, cups, and towels. As far as I’m concerned, this hotel room was just as dirty when we arrived as it was when someone was checking out. Another thing to note is that we were not provided with a "Privacy" or "Do Not Disturb" sign to hang on our door. Because of this, we were forced to tear out a piece of paper from my Sudoku book and write on the back of it. We then hung this on the outside of the door. After leaving for a baseball game on Sunday afternoon, we turned off all the lights and hung this "makeshift note" on our door handle. When we came back after the game, not only was this note taken off of our door and an official "Privacy" sign put on, but our bathroom light was on, which shows that someone was in our room. To our knowledge, none of our items were missing, but someone from the hotel was clearly in our hotel room without our permission, which is a complete invasion of privacy and unacceptable because we specified that we did not want anyone to come inside (including housekeeping). My boyfriend and I left valuables in the hotel room with the hopes that they would be securely locked away from others, but this is a clear indication that the hotel DOES NOT CARE if you hang a "Do Not Disturb" or "Privacy" sign on your door - they will come in anyway (without your permission), probably scope out your belongings, and leave your lights on. All I want is my money back for this DEPLORABLE experience. I’ve tried to reach out to Hotels.com and Cambria Hotel to put in this request, but the hotel has the AUDACITY to deny the refund request. Obviously, this hotel thinks it’s okay to let guests be treated rudely by managerial staff, make them wait for over 2+ hours to get checked in even when they booked 4+ months in advance and their booking was guaranteed, and reside in a dirty hotel room because if they didn’t, they would’ve processed the refund request. I WILL NEVER BE STAYING AT A CAMBRIA HOTEL EVER AGAIN AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO ANOTHER PERSON. IN FACT, I WILL BE RETELLING THIS STORY MANY TIMES SO THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF HOW HORRIBLE THIS HOTEL CHAIN IS IN TERMS OF QUALITY, CARE, AND COURTESY.…

We stayed here after we went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game and we went to the pool and then went to dinner. We were able to take a shuttle downtown and our Driver was John and he was awesome and we’re baseball fans and John was talking to us open the door for us and was kind and great manners helped us down and suggested a great place to eat. We felt safe the whole time and he was awesome, so awesome that I think he deserves a raise! Really nice hotel! Great service too!

My wife booked a room about two weeks before the we wanted to stay here. She didn't realize she didn't switch the day for the night of our stay. She booked it for the night of the day we booked. Not the night we actually wanted. We showed up the night we anticipated on staying and found out at that moment we booked the wrong night. The only room available was $500 and they would not take a penny off for us missing the night we booked even though they could see that we never checked in. We paid $250 with a parking pass and had nothing to show for it and all we got at the front desk was kick rocks. If they would have offered me to pay the difference of $250 to get that room I would have acknowledging it was our mistake. But they offered nothing. I spent $200 and stayed at another hotel. Called customer service to see if we could get any money back or even a voucher for a later stay. Again was offered nothing. I would not ever stay at this hotel as they have terrible customer service.…
