Came to stay here due to location near Shadyside hopsital, where I had surgery the next day. What a beautiful property. Friendly staff, especially our bartender. She was young, but easy to talk to and had knowledge beyond her years. We didnt eat here, so can not attest to that. Beds were confortable. Rooms very large and the interior was like a european hotel. Dark woods with Great history.

The mansions on Fifth are, first of all, gorgeous inside and out. Upon arrival, I was met by a staff member who held the door for me and asked if I required help with any luggage. He then explained some history of the property when I began asking questions about it. I felt very welcomed right away. Check-in was simple and prompt. I stayed in the Amberson house, which is located next to the main building. My room was on the second floor. I could hear some people upstairs during my stay, but it was muffled and not loud at all so I was unbothered. The room has plenty of natural lighting, equipped with all my needs. I felt very safe here. I wish the bathtub had a functional plug so I could have taken a bath, but the shower worked wonderfully so it's not an issue. There is light traffic outside, nothing crazy, so it still felt calm inside. They offered breakfast for $15/person, which I declined. Check-out was also quick and easy. Overall, I would certainly recommend. I hope to return and hear the piano of the main house played sometime.

The room is clean. We stay at a king-bed room with a sofa bed, they’re comfortable. The mansion and the house is amazing: full of old time styles and with beautiful garden. We took a lot of pictures of them. BTW, the hotel stays at a quiet and safe community and near CMU campus. It’s easy to find delicious foods too.

When you tell people there is an elevator, they assume it takes you to their room. Not just one between two floors requiring stairs to all others.

Beautiful historic building conveniently located in the Shadyside neighborhood. Very convenient free parking in a Pittsburgh hotel, which is usually inconvenient and expensive. We enjoyed meeting our family in the beautiful cocktail lounge, and the staff was very pleasant and most accommodating. My only criticism is that our room furniture was somewhat worn, with scratches in the wood, chipped edges, etc. The bathroom itself had been recently renovated, and the room itself was very clean.

The room has no refrigerator. I was not told when I checked in. I bought a lot of food and had to through them away next day as there is no refrigerator. I kept on calling the hotel manager in the ladt three days and didn't hear any call back after I left massage to the manager.

There was a large window in the bathroom, and probably because it was windy outside, the whole bathroom felt really cold. When I came out after showering, I could feel a chilly draft all over my body. What made things worse was that there was a ventilation vent in the room right next to the bed that made a constant noise all night long—it sounded like being on an airplane. I couldn’t sleep at all and only dozed off around 5 a.m. But then at around 9:30 a.m., a cleaning staff member suddenly came in without knocking. They just opened the door and walked in. When they saw my son and me still sleeping, they said, “Oh, you’re still here? I thought you had already left.” The whole experience was terrible. I barely slept—just a little over three hours—and just when I finally did, someone barged in and startled us. We’re exhausted, especially since we have to attend my son’s university tour today.
