SpringHill Suites Marriott

Stayed here for a few days with my husband when we came here for a quick mini-​road trip. Hotel is very conveniently located across the street from PNC Park (Pirates’ stadium) and a few blocks away from Heinz Field (Steelers’ stadium). It is also just 1 block away from the Andy Warhol Museum and 1 – 2 blocks away from the bridges that go into downtown Pittsburgh.
Hotel itself was decently clean, but not immaculate (I don’t think they vacuum daily as we did not hear any vacuuming at all during our stay — and usually when I’ve stayed at other hotels, I’ve heard vacuum action at least a few times). Beds were comfy and clean. I wasn’t crazy about the sink being separate from the toilet and shower room, but not a huge deal. Our room had a couch in the other room along with a small sink, small fridge, microwave oven, Keurig machine (they only gave us 2 pods, 1 regular coffee and 1 decaf).
Front desk staff were all very nice, so no complaints there. However, the ladies who cook the free breakfast buffet that was included in our rate, were NOT so nice. When I went downstairs one morning to help myself to some of the food, I greeted them with a smile and a «Good Morning» only to be met with cold stares and 2 of them whispered to each other about me while staring at me. NOT cool. Housekeeping lady was cordial but a bit brusque/​harsh in her tone.
Also, the walls are THIN. On our last full day and night there, we were «lucky» enough to be placed next to a room full of guys who barely slept and had tons of people go in and out of their room ALL DAY AND NIGHT (you could also hear them use the bathroom and shower, all the way down to when they coughed). These loud and obnoxious jerks left the door propped open on the deadbolt (deadbolt was kept in the doorway so the door wouldn’t close all the way) so people could just go in/​out without having to be let in. They would SLAM the door each time and this happened literally all day and night. I could not sleep at all that night and finally complained to the front desk, who said they would send Security up to them. I finally fell asleep but in the morning, they were back at the door slamming again. Luckily the hotel comped us a bit for our troubles, so I appreciate that.
A few notes:
— Breakfast food options: Complementary buffet was ok, nothing fancy, but decent/​edible (mix of both hot and cold foods, like scrambled eggs, sausages, Quaker oatmeal, some cereals and fruits, baked goods, coffee). If you want anything else, breakfast food options are very limited in the area and you have to go across the Roberto Clemente bridge to get to Starbucks, 7 – 11, McDonald’s, etc. But not a big deal as it’s less than a 10 minute walk across the bridge to get to these places. Starbucks is literally 1 – 2 blocks after you cross the bridge to downtown, so really not too far from the hotel if you don’t mind walking across the bridge.
— Neighborhood: Is a bit sketchy at times. There was a homeless guy lingering by the smoking area between the self-​parking lot and the hotel. He didn’t do anything beyond staring at me, but since I’m your average paranoid NYer, I had my guard up just in case.
— There are several bars right across the street from the hotel as well as the hotel bar. We only ate at the hotel bar, which was ok. Like the hotel, not the greatest, but not bad either.
— Self-​park costs $ 25/​day and is an outdoor lot
— Free Wi-​Fi (was very slow at times)
— Hotel has an indoor pool on the main floor
— Hotel lobby shop is TINY and is right next to the front desk. There is not much, just basic essentials and some snacks and drinks (water, soda, etc).
— There is a Giant supermarket and a Rite Aid within driving (and sort of walking) distance, but these are in sort of ghetto/​very shady areas, so be cautious
— Hotel is located right by all the highways and major roads out of town, so that part is very convenient

Really comfortable. the rooms are really nice clean and spacious. The breakfast is complementary and even get sausage and eggs!

Just want a clean room, but it’s 4:15 and we’ve been asking since 3:00 if our room could be made up, and our comforter switched out (just a little matter of dried blood that the front desk claims is «rust» from the washers). Front desk could care less. They keep writing our room number on little yellow post-​it notes, but every time we go back to the room nothing’s been done. We’ve been out all day and just wanted to shower and change before the Pirate game. Funny thing though, the maid cart has been parked in front of a room down the hall all day. Door is propped open and music is playing. Is it the break room?
Room finally clean at 4:30, but they forgot to refill the toilet paper. This is not a 5-​star hotel by any stretch of the imagination, but it is high enough on the food chain that you expect a little basic service, maybe an apology, and maybe some damn toilet paper.

Very nice hotel. Right across from PNC park. It was so nice leaving the game and walking to our room! Friendly staff, clean beautiful room. Comfy bed too, didn’t wake up with a back ache so that says a lot! If I had to complain about anything, it would be the parking fee. Parking should be included with the hotel rates. 21.00 a night!

The hotel room was amazing! The distance from pnc park, bars and restaurants was very convenient. I went there for a New York Mets and had an amazing time. And in spite of wearing my Mets colors, not one person at the stadium said anything negative to me. Unfortunately, when walking back to the hotel while the game was still going on, someone from the hotel staff was very nasty towards me and had an a attitude. She works in the lobby and has very Large, Curly hair. I never got her name because she was a very insignificant part or my amazing weekend yet she managed to leave an impression. I hope the pirates continue to play well for her sake.

To clarify, I was not a guest at this hotel. Unfortunately I got a flat tire in a parking garage and was stranded downtown waiting for roadside assistance. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating offering me coffee and reminding me there was free wifi in the lobby and to make myself comfortable.
Great staff. Comfortable, clean and peaceful lobby which was great seeing as I have already spent about 2 hours here (and counting…)

Came here for light up night. Room was dirty, found an earring on the floor which tells me the room had not been swept. Keurig was smeared with something on the top of it along with the TV. Our room overlooked the parking lot which had brights lights shining through along with a lot of traffic noise. The food in the soho was really good except they had no hot chocolate on an 18 degree day. We tried to order room service around 10 at night and was told not on light up night. We tried to get a soda from the vending machine and it was broke. After calling the front desk they brought us a soda and packages of hot chocolate! The front desk was surprised we couldn’t get room service. It is now 1 am and I’m starving and cold. Bah humbug!

The rooms are nice enough and comfortable, And if you’re going for downtown destinations, the location is ideal. That being said, it is not very soundproof. You could hear noises coming from every direction and I had the fan on high. Not to mention, it is $ 18 a day to park! For the price you pay for the room, they should throw in the parking. And the staff was curt, but not the friendly «Marriott» welcome that you get from most of their hotels. The Residence Inn right down the street is much better, but I think I’ll stay out in the suburbs and commute downtown next time I come. I cannot justify paying these prices and having to battle the noise factor as well.

Very pricey. Stayed here for a wedding. The 1# reason we chose this hotel was because of the shuttle to/​from the wedding reception hall. THIS WAS A CLUSTER. Upon arrival, I find out that the tiny 11 person shuttle is already booked for 1 hour solid, the 1^st hour of the reception! Fast forward, we got a ride from family to the reception and at the end of the night I called the hotel and they «dispatched» the cab, 20 minutes later it arrives– the hotel is maybe 7 minutes away?! The shuttle comes and we can’t all fit, so we wait and family ends up taking us back any way. WHY ONLY RUN ONE SHUTTLE?!
Now maybe if we stayed here for a Pirates game, we’d be in heaven– right across from ball park.
VERY OVER PRICED– $ 170 was the block rate + tax!!!
The room was nice with a king bed, sofa pull out couch, microwave, fridge, keurig, etc. Bathroom outdated. Early check in was granted to us, which was a huge help since we were on a cross country red eye flight.
Overall, wish we would’ve stayed somewhere else, considering we never utilized the shuttle, for less money.

If you’re going to see a baseball game at PNC Park, then you’ll love your stay. Albeit, your wallet will weigh less when you checkout, you can’t beat the location of this hotel.
This is a very nice hotel. It’s the top of the line for a SpringHill and the most expensive SpringHill too. The rooms, hallways and lobby look great. The pool is a bit small, but big enough for the kids to swim. The parking was tight, but never had any problems finding a space. The WiFi is great. I was able to stream NetFlix HD no problem.
The best part of this SpringHill is PNC Park is just across the street. Walk right out the doors of the SpringHill, turn left and walk 50 yards and you’re at the PNC ticket windows. It took me 10 minutes to pick up my Will Call tickets for the Pirates game that night and I bought more tickets for the next night’s game too. I love it!
The only real negatives about this SpringHill and they are minor was the parking fee ($ 19 per day), but once you get here you’ll see that Pittsburgh is the king of tolls and parking fees. You can’t drive or park anywhere without pulling out your wallet. It is the nature of the beast in Pittsburgh, so be ready with lots of $ 1 and quarters.
Finally, the free breakfast was a feeding frenzy free for all. I’ve seen this in hotels that offer «free breakfasts» before. Mom and Pop drop in front of their plate of food and let the kids run wild in the buffet area. Kids are darting in and out, pushing and squeezing by other patrons to grab muffins and milk, like it was «Soylent Green» day. I was impressed with the hot powdered eggs and sausage offerings, that the employees tried their best to keep stocked for the feral children. Oh! And don’t even think about getting near the waffle station on game day, as they were perpetually occupied with corpulent tattooed ladies whose sole goal was to make a waffle for every member of their family… or else! ha!
I would give this SpringHill four stars, but as you probably already know, you’ll drop close to $ 200 a night to stay here, but its worth it when you’re already relaxing while everyone else is stuck in traffic or still walking to their cars after game. Ah!

This is THE place to stay if you are going to a Pirates game. Location is EXCELLENT however, you are paying premium price during a ball game so expect to pay the price. It is so easy to walk back and forth from PNC park, no haggling about fighting traffic or finding a parking space. The breakfast is decent but it was CROWDED both mornings we were there so be prepared to have to truck back to your room to eat. The rooms were clean and refreshed, very comfortable.

I’m staying at the Marriott City Center, but walked down here to catch the Hop On/​Hop Off tour bus. With 4 minutes to spare, and not a single coffee shop for blocks, I ducked in and asked if I could purchase a cup of coffee to go. No. I then asked if I could have one since I’m a Marriott customer. No. I’ll never stay here because of that.

Would I stay here again? Yes.
Do I recommend you stay here? Yes if you’re going to PNC Park for a game.
Tips for requesting a room:
NOT near the elevator (unnecessary ding each time it opens)
Facing the stadium, NOT the expressway (loud traffic and trains)
Other stuff to know:
— Beds were comfy, clean, and new with lots of pillows to get lost in :-)
— There is a Keurig in the room! Bonus!
— Free Wifi! Bonus!
— Bathroom had the vanity in one space and the toilet & shower in another. VERY convenient so someone can get ready while another is in the shower or… you know.
— Check in and out was simple, kind and easy. They gave us mini cupcakes :-)
— Skipped the free continental breakfast and went to Pamela’s P&G diner instead. I HIGHLY recommend you do the same. Check out my other review. Nothing against Springhill, I just believe you should go where the locals do for breakfast.

Nice enough place to stay. The only downside I experienced was poor soundproofing on the door that connected my room to the room next door for groups. I didn’t know the folks on the other side, and boy did the lady have a loud, funny laugh and like to slam doors. Other than that, it was great.

Stayed in room 1007. King sized bed, very spacious room in general.
Nice property, directly across the street from PNC Park.
On site parking.
Keurig in room, microwave and fridge in room, free breakfast in the lobby.
Cons: Pittsburgh rush hour traffic, although this is not Marriott’s fault.
I would definitely return to this property.

Could not have asked for a better location in Pittsburgh to go to a ballgame. Located right across from the stadium and near a lot of cool bars and eateries. The hotel is also a couple of blocks from the Andy Warhol museum and a bridge that takes you across the river to downtown.
The hotel also provides a pretty complete breakfast and a shuttle that brings you to other parts of the city. I did not use this, but it I noticed others taking advantage of it.
The room was clean and new and had much more space than I needed.
TIP: The bar located in the lobby also seemed like a happening hot spot to end your night. Order a Tuaca.
Negative: It was a bit pricey, but I found almost every hotel in Pittsburgh to be that way. Not sure why.

The rooms were so big!
We had a large party and
Were taken care of*
*lots of bachelor/​ette parties were there

Very conveniently located in the heart of downtown, close to many places. Well maintained with a good business center and lobby.

For this format, it was a great stay. We were there for the heinz field visit. nice convenient location. Staff were super-​friendly and helpful. We didn’t get out too much
there just for one night

SpringHill has a great location across from the ballpark. Also, you can walk to the «T» or walk across the bridge for even more Pittsburgh goodness. Ty and I also walked to the Carnegie Science Center. Excellent.
The room was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly.
As Unilocal would say, «Yay! I’m a fan.»
yay… yow, bill
