The Landing Hotel at Rivers Casino

10/10 Excellent

"It was my first time staying there, the hotel is really nice, it was the day of a Steelers game so the parking experience was very interesting. If the valet parking service is full then you can self park but make sure to drop your bags off with the valet before heading up to the self park in the garage; you will not be able to bring your bags down the elevator to the first floor because they do not allow bags in the casino. If you have to bring them down the stairs, the stairwell is in the back of the garage and you will have to walk all the way around to the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were really nice. It has a really nice bar in the lobby and breakfast was free. Leaving was easy, you can just pull out front and load your bags."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh West - Greentree by IHG

8/10 Good

"My stay was good. Was in town for the game. Easy access to bus ( Uber was way expensive) close enough to downtown and stadium. Breakfast was ok PANCAKE machine was malfunctioning. ( should invest in waffle maker)Will probably stay there again next time I'm in town for a game."

Hyatt Place Pittsburgh-North Shore

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a little dated with limited views of the city. It states a restaurant on site, but there is no restaurant or bar as stated on their website. The complimentary breakfast was good but they close the restaurant right at 9am. Coffee was not available after the 9am closing since everything was removed by the staff. The staff was great and they reported the hotel is being renovated starting in November 2026. The rooms definitely need updating and our sofa had a lot of stains on it. There is no microwave in the room. A decent place to stay if you are going to any of the stadiums in town. Close to Jason Aldean's kitchen and bar."

The Maverick by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location being so central to the entire city. I wish I could have been able to connect my phone to the TV. There appears to be a way, but for some reason my phone couldn't connect and the TV did not have the streaming services I use so I had to watch stuff on my phone. The fridge has a good amount of space and keeps things cold. I like that there was a code to be able to get into the building outside of operation hours of the bar/restaurant in the lobby. For the price I paid, I felt I got my money's worth."
