Pittsburgh Hotels with Pools

We LOVED this hotel and were so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful everything was! Only downtown hotel with free parking we could find, which you use your room key to access. Room was SPOTLESS and honestly felt brand new! Bathroom was spacious and clean, and even the provided hair products worked really well for me. Staff were super kind and efficient. Bed was comfy, breakfast the next morning was included and very good, with a decent amount of hot breakfast as well as pastries/cereals etc. We plan to have more trips to Pitt in the future and will definitely be staying here again, no questions! Felt so much nicer than a budget hotel… just wow!

The hotel was very clean except the shower area which had a bit of soap residue and was slightly slippery. The free breakfast was great with all you can drink coffee and fruit juices, with hot items including sausage eggs and pancake. The gym and pool was not heavily utilized and provided good privacy during my stay.

Everything is very clean it’s close to the stadium for the football game we went to we just took the Gateway Clipper which takes you right to the Stadium we will be back

The hotel is in a good location, the service is good, it is convenient to go anywhere, living on a high floor, you can see the beautiful scenery of the whole city from a distance, the hotel is cost-effective, and the experience is good

The check in front desk service was very friendly and knowledgeable! The hotel was clean and nice. The beds were comfortable, the shower got hot and steamy! The bathroom products like soap, lotion and etc smelled nice and refreshing! We overslept so we missed breakfast but the breakfast aroma lingered throughout the lobby and was pleasant. Nice & clean overall!

This hotel offers excellent value for money, has a pleasant environment, and is about a half-hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh. There are also large shopping malls nearby. Highly recommended.

Room with a view and the location was great! Happy with the cleanliness and amenities. Lobby has been refreshed and modern but I think it’s time the rooms were updated. Ours was a little tired. Overall great experience though!

The first hotel we stayed at after arriving at Pitt's was located by the river, within walking distance of the nearby bridge, which was quite nice. The hotel's elevator was very old, practically an antique.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh is clean and has a western breakfast. The hotel has a gym and an indoor swimming pool. The hotel is close to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium, a 20-minute drive away. It's a good day trip to the zoo. The animals include elephants, tigers, stars, and many other animals.

The broken floor lamp in our room was removed and never replaced. When I inquired, the front desk staff on duty that day casually dismissed my concern, claiming not all rooms had floor lamps. Fortunately, I'd stayed here before. And not taking their word for it, I checked other rooms being cleaned and even confirmed with the cleaning staff that every room is indeed supposed to have one. This level of service was truly disappointing! Given that this floor lamp is the room's primary light source, the room was very dark without it. We decided then to approach a different front desk staff member the following day. Then there was the bedding. I couldn't tell if housekeeping hadn't changed the sheets or if they simply looked that way, but they appeared slept in and even had hairs on them. We only discovered this late at night when preparing for bed, as we hadn't pulled back the covers upon check-in. Given the late hour, we simply took photos as evidence (first three pictures). The next day, we reported these issues to the front desk. The lady on duty apologized sincerely and assured us the sheets would be changed as soon as the cleaning staff arrived, also promising to replace the missing floor lamp. We thought all issues had been perfectly resolved. To our horror, that evening, upon returning to the hotel and pulling back the covers, we were greeted by a sticky, gooey mess. It looked like a used band-aid that hadn't been removed from the sheet before washing, resulting in a sticky, clumpy residue (last picture). It was so disgusting that we quickly wrapped it in tissue paper and removed it. But at that point, we were beyond complaining and frankly, had no energy left to report it to the front desk again. We just let it go. Honestly, despite these frustrating incidents, the hotel itself does have its good points. The location is excellent, within walking distance to CMU, and it has a small kitchenette for simple cooking. I truly hope they can improve and offer a better experience in the future.
