Residence Inn Pittsburgh North Shore is built for longer stays and for families who like to cook for themselves. It is at 574 West General Robinson Street on the North Shore and has 180 rooms with full kitchens: a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a microwave, a stovetop, a dishwasher, a coffee maker and cookware, though some suites have a compact kitchen or kitchenette instead. That makes it easy to save money on meals or to keep children's snacks on hand. There is an indoor pool, and a free on-the-go breakfast is offered each morning, which suits a quick start rather than a leisurely buffet. The location is very walkable: North Side Station is a two-minute walk, PNC Park about three minutes, Stage AE about five, Acrisure Stadium about six, the Andy Warhol Museum about eight and Rivers Casino about fourteen. You can reach downtown on foot across one of the yellow bridges.
Location and getting around
The neighborhood is flat and easy on foot, and the T light rail connects the North Shore with downtown and Station Square. The Carnegie Science Center, the Mattress Factory and the National Aviary are all within a short walk or ride, so a family can fill several days without a car. Match days at the stadiums bring crowds and noise, so ask for a quieter room if you are not attending a game.
Rooms and who it suits
The kitchens make this the better pick for stays of three nights or more, for families with small children and for visitors with dietary needs. Business travelers working at the convention center or the universities will also appreciate the extra space. If you want a bar, a restaurant or a spa in the hotel itself, a downtown hotel will serve you better, since the focus here is on practical comfort rather than luxury.
Good to know
Self-parking costs a daily fee with in-and-out privileges, and it is limited to one space per unit, so travelers with several cars should plan ahead. Guests give the hotel about 8.2 out of 10 from over a thousand reviews. Rates climb on stadium and concert weekends, so reserve early if your dates match a home game.
