Hilton Garden Inn Review

Everything was great, check in was very quick, hotel parking in the rear of the building, we were able to keep car in lot until 1:00pm the next day to take a tour of the nursing program at University of Pittsburgh with my son, we had dinner in the onsite restaurant and the service was fantastic. I would recommend the downtown Hilton Garden Inn.

Came for college visit. Picked the place because it is close. Very old building with outdated heating system that was loud, and poorly controlled temperature. Paid for full breakfast but only limited selection and low quality buffet was available due to short staffing. Disappointed.

Great location, but the property is tired and the staff inexperienced and unhelpful. Seemed as if there wasn’t a manager on-site and teenagers were running the place. For the price, it wasn’t worth it.
