Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport

The terminal connection is gone, so this hotel no longer seems worth the extra $100 over other nearby options. The online booking system won’t accept bookings for the same night, the restaurant is chronically understaffed, and the rooms are only okay.

The rooms were clean and modern, with comfortable down pillows and comforters. My guests commented on how nice the hotel looked and smelled. There was lemon water available during the day, plus a coffee bar with plenty of options in the morning. The attached restaurant was delicious, and greeting guests after their flight via the airport walkway was another nice benefit. I didn’t mind paying $40 a day for one of the roughly 20 spots out front, since it let me come and go as I pleased. Otherwise, long-term parking is directly behind the hotel. Rooms at the back have a nice view of planes taking off and landing, and you can’t hear them. I’d definitely stay again. The only downside was the room doors slamming shut. On a busy floor you might hear them at night or in the morning, which would’ve disrupted my sleep if we hadn’t needed to get up early.

The staff at the bar were really cool, and everything else seemed great. The tub was the problem: it wasn’t covered in soap scum, but it still wasn’t clean, so we decided not to shower, which was a real letdown. They also offer long-term parking for guests, with a shuttle to the airport that takes about four minutes.

The dinner restaurant was cheaper and tasted better than breakfast, which cost $21 per person. The eggs were cold, spongy, and bland, the sausages were cold in the warmer, and the apple juice dispenser didn’t work. The servers were very friendly, but I’d go somewhere else for breakfast.
