Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh Downtown is the value pick among the downtown hotels, and it offers some features that mid-priced hotels often lack. The hotel has an indoor pool and a hot tub, a 24-hour fitness center, rooms with microwaves, sofa beds and connecting rooms, which makes it flexible for families and groups. Guests rate it about 8.0 out of 10, a little lower than some neighbors, so expect a straightforward, comfortable stay rather than a luxury experience. The central position is the real draw: from downtown you can walk to Point State Park, Market Square, the Cultural District and the yellow bridges to the North Shore, and you are close to the T light rail and the main bus routes. The pool and hot tub are a welcome treat after a day on your feet, and the microwave in the room helps with leftovers and snacks.
Location and getting around
The T runs through downtown to the North Shore and Station Square, from where the Monongahela Incline climbs Mount Washington. The Strip District, with the Heinz History Center and the market stalls, is a short ride or a brisk walk away. A taxi or rideshare to Oakland's museums takes about fifteen minutes. Downtown is quieter in the evenings than the South Side, though there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Rooms and who it suits
Connecting rooms and sofa beds suit families and groups of friends traveling together. The pool and hot tub add value for leisure travelers, and the 24-hour gym helps business visitors keep to a routine. If you want a hotel with a signature restaurant, a spa or skyline views, you will find them at the higher-priced hotels nearby.
Good to know
Confirm breakfast, parking costs and pool hours when you reserve, because these can change and downtown parking is rarely cheap. Rates rise on big game and event weekends, so book early for those dates. Because the guest score is lower than at some competitors, read recent reviews for the latest comments about the rooms and service before you decide.
