“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

We were here over the Christmas holiday and found a few great things to do in the area with our grandkids. The ice skating rink was just around the corner in easy walking distance. And proximity to freeways was good. I hate paying for parking, but in a dfowntown location, this is almost a given

I did find the arts area downtown to be a pleasant surprise. I remember coming to PIT 20+ years ago when I was a flight attendant for American Airlines, and the town was much diffent back then. There are currently many theatres in PIT now that off a variety of great entertainment from ballet, to symphony, to musicals. Will return in acouple of months to take the kids to see Copellia.

Back to the hotel... they have a nice cafe for breakfast, but you need to get there before 10 a.m. when they close for the day. There are no extras at this Marriott- no pool, work out facility, but a big plus for me was the free wi-fi. And it was very quiet, but the room was rather small. I was surprised that they would not change my room from a double queen to a king because was definately not crowded. But I got a good rate through Priceline and the front desk would not budge. The front desk person was pleasant but, great customer service would have accomodated my request.

Very clean, comfortable beds... but they definately need new pillows. After 32 years of staying in hotels during my career, I can be pretty picky!

Room Tip: You know, we were right by the ice machine and did not even hear it. So, any location is probably go...

Stayed here for two nights to be near Amtrak. Very nice room, good service. Nice restaurant. Not really sure about the area so much as I didn't venture out, but my experience at the hotel itself was very good to great. Would highly recommend if you're visiting P'burgh!

I stay in Courtyard's primarily as I am a business traveler and try to stick to the same brand. This one was GREAT. Perfect location, amazing restaurant next door (Sonoma Grille), new clean and giant rooms.

“Good stay at the Marriott”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Agree with Hewesema... his description sums up this hotel. Nice place to stay. Typical Marriott experience. No view. High ceilings, nice washroom, bar fridge is empty, not too many channels, big room, great service, free internet and business centre, service was good.
Location is ok. Problem in Pittsburgh is that every area you want to visit is far apart from each other. This location is great to walk around downtown, along the river, to PNC Park.

“A good business hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

This is a converted office building so the rooms have incredibly high ceilings (I would guess 20 feet). The bathroom is large and well equipped. The cable tv has a bit of a limited selection of channels but plenty to keep you busy. The restaurant is only open for breakfast but serves a limited menu quite quickly and at a good price. There is no bar. Because the building in between to other old building, the rooms dont have much of a view. It is a normal sort of Courtyard Inn and fills its role very well.
