The staff were very helpful with questions we had about transportation to PNC Arena. We had access to the executive lounge and found the view to be wonderful. Towels and amenities in the bathroom were great. The only fault we found with the room was the coffee that went with the coffee maker. It was not that good. Overall we had no complaints.

Rebecca to the Rescue at Hilton University Place

Rebecca at the front desk is truly exceptional! I had some issues over a few days, and she went above and beyond to ensure my next room was perfect. She genuinely made up for the lost sleep and inconvenience caused by the toilet, sink, and missed room service. Rebecca was incredibly pleasant and attentive, making me feel valued and never rushed. She's the main reason I chose to extend my stay with Hilton. She's a tremendous asset, and I'm so glad she's the first person I encounter when I arrive. Because of Rebecca, I have rated this so much higher.

Overnight stay for concert

Stayed one night for the Rod Stewart concert at PNC. Close to venue. Close to restaurants and shopping. The hotel was very pretty and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is in a safe area. We would definitely stay again.

The rooms are okay, nothing special. There was no A/C in the hallway, room A/C worked great. Ice machine on our floor did not work. The property is nice, pool was great. Plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance. The restaurant and bar are ok, a little expensive. "Don't use cash at the bar". Long story.

Will NEVER recommend

HORRIBLE! I came to the hotel an hr before check in time after driving five hours & was told I could not check in. Sat for 30min & saw the same lady tell others they could not. Then noticed other employees checking people in. Walked over to one & was checked in w/no issue. Explained their were people in the lobby & bar that were also denied check in. I have a disability & request a room close to elevator access. Was given a room at the end of the hall on the far side of the hotel. I came back from the event w/no handicap parking available. I had to park six rows from the hotel. There was no lighting which was extremely dangerous. It could barely walk to the hotel entry. The front desk employees were talking & laughing. I even stood there for a few mins & was not addressed. I gave up. I have never been so dissapointed staying at a hotel. I will NEVER be back and will NEVER recommend!
