Top Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Pittsburgh/Bloomfield/Shadyside

10/10 Excellent

"We have a service dog and I was not expecting a pristine room because, you know, dogs. But I do expect clean. The room was a just wee bit worn, but spotlessly clean theoughout, which is a testament to the housekeeping crew who kept it that way every day of our stay. The staff was lovely and my husband reports that the pool and gym were very nice. We orginally chose this Hyatt for its location, which worked out perfectly for all of us, dog included. We will be back"

"This is a great property! We’ve never stayed in a tiny house before, and it was super efficient, had everything we needed and close by the area our daughter lives so it worked out great. I’d say the place is perfect for 1 or 2 but 3 would definitely be pushing it. Check in/out was quick & easy and Adam was responsive."
