Top Central Oakland Hotel Reviews

The Landing Hotel at Rivers Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, especially the casino"

Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh East Liberty by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to explore different neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. You are a two minute drive from Shadyside, which has so many restaurants and bars and squirrel Hill. The staff here were very nice. Our hotel room had a huge window with a great view. It would be nice if they finish the bar restaurant so that it would feel more like a bar and restaurant but other than that, I have no complaints. The staff was very friendly. "

Hyatt Place Pittsburgh-North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"I like the corner suite, it provides true quietness & has awesome sunlight. Everything is here to keep you together, hair dryer, clothes hangers, iron & ironing board. Plenty of outlets! Everything can connect to power, from several locations of choice throughout the Suite. That’s important to me. And there is HBO. "
