I travel a lot to Pittsburgh on business, about once a month on average and I have stayed in many different hotels, as I am usually looking to keep my nightly rate within my allowed travel budget. This is my second visit to the new Hyatt House in Southside and I must say it is by far my favorite place to stay! The location is great, across the street from some decent (if a little bit chain-type) restaurants and dome fun bars. I have to drive all around the area including different suburbs like Monroeville, Pleasant Hills and Robinson.. So other than downtown there isn't a more convenient location for me. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are comfortable and new. I especially like the island/ work table in the kitchen. So much better than your typical hotel desk that faces a wall. This faces the center of the room and the TV swivels 180 degrees to face either the bed or the work/ kitchen space. Only real complaint is that the hotel doesn't really have a restaurant - breakfast is included though. But with all the choices nearby it doesn't matter.
