Hotels near Kelso Museum of Near Eastern Archaeology, Pittsburgh

This is a pretty decent hotel. It is much better than the Hilton Garden Inn we previously stayed in down the street. We initially reserved a studio with 2 queen beds, but got upgraded to a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom suite. My kids were beyond excited because they got their own room, TV and bathroom. My husband appreciated the private bath and corner view with plenty of windows. It was VERY spacious. Our room was listed as having a king bed, but it seemed more like a queen. The pillows and mattresses were not very comfortable, which was disappointing. The bathrooms were clean. The bedrooms were fine, but a bit dusty. The kitchen/living areas were not as clean. The sofa was pilled up and had blonde hairs on it. The kitchen cabinets, stove, table, chairs and fridge had smudges and fingerprints on them, which I found a bit gross. Although there was a full kitchen, there weren't any cleaning supplies aside from a meager roll of cheap paper towels. No dish detergent. No disinfectant spray. Luckily, we didn't really need to use the kitchen. At one point, we used 2 forks and a bowl, so I called the front desk for some detergent and they brought me dishwasher pods which we didn't use. I bought Clorox wipes at the CVS down the street to clean up and left the bowl and forks rinsed off in the sink for housekeeping to wash. Despite these shortcomings, we will most likely stay here again. We'll just be better prepared. Also, be aware that the parking is first come, first serve. We parked and walked to our destinations, which was very easy since the hotel is right on Forbes Ave.

There is a large parking lot. There are many black people here. There are many students nearby. It is next to the university. It is convenient to eat and shop. It is the service attitude of the front desk. There is no smile or zombie. Traffic is not convenient

The room at the hotel was clean. Water pressure in the shower was great. Otherwise I found this hotel unpleasant. The first thing you see upon entering the hotel were the numerous signs with warnings and rules. There were paper print outs of these all over the place warning that you need to request room cleaning, that this was a no smoking hotel, that no one who lived within 30 miles could stay overnight at the hotel, that all guests must throw their own trash away, that smoking was prohibited and guests would be fined $250 for smoking. I understand hotels have rules but these signs were everywhere. Also, the hotel staff was unpleasant the entire stay. We were there several days and not once were we greeted upon arrival back at the hotel. Staff avoided making eye contact with guests in order to avoid being asked questions. The front desk clerk was watching a movie on her phone while sitting in the breakfast area and just continued to sit there while we waited for assistance at the front desk. Eventually a maintenance worker came over and helped us. We left a key at the front desk for our daughter and they did not ask her to show any ID before giving her the room key. We never had soap replaced in the room even though they threw out the soap every day. My daughter said that she never received soap despite requesting it numerous times. We asked for a banana (for my daughter who has a lot of food allergies) because this was the only item at breakfast that she could eat. They gave her a green banana. When she asked for a ripe banana they literally told her ”No” and walked away. Luckily we had brought our own food for her to eat.

Great place to stay in Pitts. Connected to the David Lawrence convention Centre is a convenience. Many trendy restaurants in the vicinity. Staff was kind and helpful. Concierge desk was specially helpfull with our city needs and reservations. Comfertable rooms. Loved it.

We asked for city view and our room was on the 20th floor. Gorgeous view! The room was clean, everything we needed was provided at a reasonable price. The pool on the 4th floor with a view of the iconic yellow bridge was fantastic. Every staff member we spoke with was friendly and helpful, with great pointers for restaurants. The next time we go to Pittsburgh we will be staying here again.

I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past. The hotel and all of their staff are very friendly and very accommodating to their guests. We always stay here when coming to Pittsburgh because of the location and great staff. I am also very happy with all of their breakfast selections for their guests .

Hampton Inn Pittsburgh/Greentree I apologize in advance for the lengthy review but I needed to warn other people about this place, specially Hilton Members that time and time again bring business to the brand with our stays. If I could leave 0 star I would, this hotel left something to be desired. I really don't understand how they have 4 stars on Google, all I can think of is managment encouraging their employees, friends and families to write bogus reviews to raise their score. I really don't want to believe a Hilton brand would stoop so low but then again this hotel seem to be run by very rude and unprofessional people so I can't rule anything out. The property was old and outdated. Now I'm not super picky about things like that but when my room smells horrible and the ceiling in the bathroom on top of the tub is cracking and pieces of drywall are falling on me while showering, well that's when we have a problem. I understand a building being outdated but maintenance should never ever fall behind, especially in a Hilton brand. As a Hilton Diamond member that has stay with the brand everytime I travel domestically or internationally, this is not what I have come to expect from them. On top of that the staff was extremely unhelpful, rude and unwelcoming. They all seem like they did not want to be there and were all having the worst day according to their body language and behavior towards the guest. I was traveling with my partner and she's a god damn saint and didn't want to bother anyone or get anyone in trouble, she told me it was just a 3 nights stay and to just let it go, so I didn't say anything while we were there. Now the last drop came when we arrived home and I sat down,and went to check the receipt from the hotel(side note-I usually don't check my Hilton stay receipts till a couple days after check out, but this people did not inspired any confidence in me). I am glad I checked because there was a $267 cleaning fee attached. I immediately called the hotel but the agent said he didn't know what that cleaning fee meant so I had to call back the next day in the morning to speak with his manager Rebecca. I called the next day in the morning and asked to speak with Rebecca, they send me to her voice-mail, so I got tired of being thrown around like a god damn ball and decided to call the diamond desk. They contacted the hotel and put me through to talk to someone(this person was not the manager Rebecca, it was a front desk agent) The lady said the Cleaning Fee was for smoking. Now I was really pissed, I have ashtma and obviously do not smoke at all, and my partner does not smoke either, she doesn't even drink. I explained that it was not possible that we could have smoke in that room and asked what proved they had to make that statement and charge me a fee without even notifying me before leaving the hotel, all the lady said was that it smelled like someone smoked. I reiterated that it was not possible and she kept saying the same thing. A

Apparently I got put on the DO NOT RENT LIST because I checked out at 2p which my benefits as a PLATINUM ELITE MEMBER allow me to. Last year I stayed at this hotel everyday most of the year. Know the staff by name. The employee told me that the manager BRAD (who acts like we have rapport but obviously we don’t) told them put me on the do not rent list because I checked out later than 1. She said verbatim “it was closer to 2”. So mam for you wanting to utilize the benefits of spending so much money with IHG we punish you by banning you from our hotel SECRETLY so next time you return we can embarrass you in front of a lobby full of people as we kick you out our hotel and make you look like a bad customer. I’ve worked in hotels all my life I’ve never seen a customer banned for late checkout especially if they are in a tier that allows it. So obviously this is more personal and I don’t appreciate that! Make me wish I could get ALL my money back I ever spent here and replace the management! Marriott hotels for my tier I’m given 4p checkout and it’s honored EVEN IF THE HOTEL IS SOLD OUT!!!!! If you stay here it’s better if you’re not a rewards member and it’s better if you don’t come more than one time. If you start building relationships that place will screw you over. Needs new management Anyway. Most of the housekeeping staff are on drugs and you can tell and obviously they tell the manager what to do he doesn’t tell them what to do. Because you put someone on the do not rent list for leaving late means you must be scared your housekeeping won’t clean or something which means you don’t actually run the hotel. They treat non members better than members. I would never run a hotel like this.

I always start a review with the positives. I also don't like to be part of the problem but part of the solution and try to always offer helpful suggestions if I make a valid complaint. That said... The room at the Holiday Inn PIT Airport was PRETTY clean. I saw dark, long hairs on the bathroom floor (my hair is short and blonde,) and in the tub which led me to think the bathroom wasn't clean. However, the toilet and sink were seemingly wiped down and plenty of towels were accessible. The beds are comfy, the rooms are large, and we appreciate the outdoor pool in the warmer months. My husband and I stay here quite often, as many as 4 times a year or more, often with a multi-night stay, and we enjoy using the pool. The location for us is convenient to restaurants, shopping and the airport. Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport in general meets our needs. The breakfast is very good. Lots of a variety of hot foods and coffee. The waitstaff is always helpful in bringing out supplies, refilling coffee, hot food, a ”to go” bag if needed, etc. That all said, there is this very heavy set MEAN blonde lady with glasses that makes us cower and cringe each time we enter the hotel. We DON'T want to ask her for anything as she ALWAYS makes us feel like we are BOTHERING her. She seems to work the day shift, from early morning til 3 p.m. or so, as we have noticed and we try to make my requests and ask questions AFTER she is gone for the day. How ridiculous is this?!! Case in point: During one particular stay, I asked for more bars of soap for our room. I prefer bar soap. I shouldn't have to feel ”sheepish” about asking. They are mini and not full-sized bars of soap. We usually stay an average of 3 nights when we come to town and the hubs and i prefer bar soap to the bodywash and need more than one teensy bar for the two of us between the shower and sink for 3 days of usage. Get this one....She told us to use the bodywash in the containers on the shower wall and asked us if we had checked to see if the container of body wash was full!!!?? She seems to like to provoke an ARGUMENT! Then she preceded to tell us how she was instructed to hand out the minimum as in the case of the soap. I was thinking: ” Lady, please just open the drawer behind you and give us the dang soap!!” It's NOT a difficult request. I'm thinking: What happened to the old adage, ”The customer is always right?” The staff certainly should not ARGUE with the customer. A hotel front desk clerk works in the hospitality business and should provide the customer with ”hassle free” service. NOT! We don't ask for much. We don't ask for the room to be serviced with fresh towels, etc. during our usual 2 to 3 night stay. Was asking for mini bars of soap too difficult of a request? Today in our hotel room, I went to wash my hands after leftovers from an early lunch (around 11:00 a.m.,) to find that there was NO WATER. It had obviously been shut off. Why? We called the front desk to find out what happene

It was clean and the staff was super nice. They aren't trained for the bar or restaurant area, as they use the front desk people to work these areas too. Food wasn't prepared as to what the menu says and none of them know how to mix drinks. Literally, they don't know. They'll tell you that. One guy working said we can't order food because he was the only person there. Breakfast food was just ok if you like rubber eggs or eggs in a weird liquid. Other choices were good though. It was hit and miss. Rooms were clean and spacious. Nice addition to have the sectional couch in rooms. All in all, we would stay there again. It's more of a convenience hotel. Don't expect it to be a resort. It has potential to be phenomenal if they'd have the food and bar corrected.
