Top Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Pittsburgh University Center

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good location"

The Maverick by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic place to stay, and a real bargain. We had great views of the cathedral across the street, and the area was mostly quiet. We felt very safe walking around, and there are great restaurants nearby, like Square Cafe. But I’d also recommend trying dinner at the “Hey Babe” restaurant between 4 and 6, when you get a 15% discount. The food is great, and the menu is very veggie-friendly. We parked our car at Eastside Bond garage for just $20 a day, a few blocks from the hotel, then used Uber most days. The room was so nice, we just lounged at the hotel for one day."

TRYP by Wyndham Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville

8/10 Good

"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It’s a good location in Lawrenceville. Depending on what side of the hotel you’re on, if you’re a light sleeper the loud traffic (read racing) on 40th might bother you. The bed in our room was really comfortable. The layout was a little weird w the sink in the main living space, shower off to the side and the toilet in a separate little room. Barn door for the toilet room didn’t close the whole way so be sure you’re comfortable w who you’re traveling with here !"

The Inn on Negley

10/10 Excellent

"The Inn on Negley was a wonderful place to stay! The rooms were exceptionally clean, with attention to every detail—even behind the furniture and the remote controls were cleaned and placed in a cloth bag. The staff was kind, welcoming, and very helpful with recommendations for the area. The inn is just a two-block walk from a great selection of restaurants, shops, and a beautiful park, making it easy to explore the neighborhood. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the wine happy hour was a wonderful bonus. I highly recommend The Inn on Negley and would definitely stay there again!"
