Pittsburgh Marriott City Center
"This was a good property. It was in close proximity to Downtown Pittsburgh. The food at the bar (dinner) was ok. The only downside of this trip is that if you want a hot shower in the morning, get up early because by 8 am, all I had was cold water!!"

Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
"The view for the Junior Suites was kind of misleading as I wouldn’t have picked it if I knew it was just facing a brick wall. The staff was amazing and the hotel itself was clean as well as modern. The view is the only thing I would caution others on."
