We had a great stay at the Hilton. The hotel was incredibly clean, and its central location made it easy to get to everything we wanted to see and do. The valet parking was well worth it and took a lot of the stress out of navigating the city. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We also really appreciated the complimentary coffee each morning. Our room was clean, comfortable, and the accommodations were very nice overall. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and welcoming place to stay.

No complimentary breakfast, paid breakfast seems to be available per night paid parking and mandatory valet parking provided. Complimentary breakfast and free self parking should have been included/expected. I chose a different hotel next time. It’s close to both the universities. May be better place to stay if visiting universities.

Nice property close to the University and hospitals in Pittsburgh. Small room but very clean. Breakfast is not included and expensive so opted not to get that. Also parking is a bit expensive too. Even with those cost's I would stay here again.
