No shopping within walking distance! Understaffed

We stayed at this Marriott on NYE after attending the Penguins game. We have stayed here before and it is the closest hotel to the venue. Our previous stays have all been fine. Not this time!! When we arrived almost 2 hours before the game we went through check-in and proceeded to the elevator area. There was a line roughly a mile long trying to get into the elevators. Out of 3 guest elevators only one was operational. People were stuffing themselves on the elevator and the elevator stopped at every single floor going up and coming down. We were on the 19th floor and will luggage the stairs weren’t an option. It took us an hour to go up to our room and drop off our bags and leave directly for the game. We had the same problem coming back down and we didn’t get to the game until puck drop. The hotel should have warned us at check-in or offered to check our bags knowing that the game was starting soon. Our second disappointment was that the hotel bar closed at 10 PM on NYE - we had to walk into downtown Pittsburgh in the rain to find a place to celebrate. Also what 300 a night hotel doesn’t have USB port to charge your cell phone - seriously???? Who carries a charging block anymore. And finally they stopped giving out individual soaps and shampoos and conditions to save money / the environment . . . Whatever! The shower gel and the shampoo where completely out! So much for packing light if you spend the night at this place - 1 out of 5 stars -do not recommend

Fabulous and friendly staff

The hotel staff was all very friendly

Excellent stay as always I have with Marriott!!!! One thing is that the two beds were marketed as Queen size but probably were full size.

Located slightly outside the business and more than one mile away from the historical centre of Pittsburgh the facility is comfortable and clean but the dining options are limited and customers pay additional charges for parking and breakfast.

The Marriott is closed and cancelled my reservation a month prior to my stay. By that time I could not find an alternative at a reasonable rate. There is also no news as tonight they will ever reopen.

Morning staff incompetent !! Need more training.

The room was a little smaller than other hotel chains but otherwise satisfactory.

Excellent location and great staff at all Levels.

The hallway of the floor we were on smelled like cigarette smoke

So convenient to PPG Paints Arena. Facility is starting to show its age a bit and could use some renovation to its public areas. But, a really good staff from the check in to valet parking.
