| - The Doubletree has been my home for the past year during my business travel to Pittsburgh (Mon-Thu, every week). This is my "where everyone knows your name" place. Besides being my home away from home, it is an excellent hotel. It can be pricey depending on the availability, but that's not a problem if you're on an expense-paid trip.
Useful Information:
1- With the hotel stay you have access to the Downtown Athletic Club, which is located within the hotel.
2- Some rooms have a micro-fridge. You can put in a request for one beforehand if you'd like.
3- Apartment style rooms with clean linens and neutrogena toiletries.
4- Parking is not included and is $20/weekday, $18/weekend day (2008).
5- Bigelow Grille is the restaurant in the hotel, and is an actual downtown Pittsburgh restaurant. Decent restaurant with $20-30 entrees.
6- Hilton elites get breakfast coupons for the Bigelow Grille (great value).
7- Shuttle service get you to most popular locations (Southside, Downtown Attractions, Baseball Stadium, etc.)
8- 7-11 convenience store also connected to the hotel.
9- Location is walking distance to Benedum Center (12 mins), PNC Park (20 mins), Mellon Arena (4 mins), Heinz Hall (15 mins).
10- Amazingly friendly staff - they are the cream of the crop! Everyone from the Valet Parking attendants to the Front Desk staff are professional and respectful.
5 stars, for sure! It's everything you want in a good quality hotel.
