Top Central Oakland Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great area for food and shopping, very kind staff, and clean rooms! Pool was also peaceful, and the breakfast was legit the best hotel breakfast I’ve had so far!! surpasses 10/10!!"

Etage Executive Living

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at The Etage during a trip to Pittsburgh for a conference. My overall experience was positive from start to finish. The location was incredibly convenient- everything was within walking distance, which made my stay even more enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the space. My room felt more like a modern industrial apartment than a traditional hotel room - which was an unexpected touch. The view of downtown Pittsburg from my window was amazing and added to the overall experience. One of the highlights of my stay was the rooftop. It was truly beautiful, with stunning views of the city. I loved being able to sit and decompress during downtime and have a moment to relax. The rooftop dog park was a nice added touch and will definitely consider bringing my dog with me next time. Overall, this was a pleasant stay and I would recommend the Etage to anyone visiting Pittsburgh. I look forward to returning in the future."

TRYP by Wyndham Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks to other reviews we made sure to book a room with two beds for more space. The room was super cute and well taken care of. Staff was very friendly. Annoying that parking wasn't included in the price as due to the location of the parking lot, it seems like it should be included-- valet was kinda pointless. Although the valet staff were very friendly and professional."
