Breakfast was amazing. Service was nice. Our tv had a technical issue so they refunded us a day of parking for the inconvenience. AC worked nice, need was clean, linens were constantly tended to. We would neatly store trash outside the room for pick up and it would be gone before we knew it. Also they will hold a small DoorDash order for you at the front desk. That was helpful. WiFi worked well also. They also have an indoor hot tub and pool read more

If you're driving out from Wilkes-Barre to see the Pens play at PPG, save yourself some time, aggravation, and money by booking at the Marriot on the other side of the arena. I had the unfortunate displeasure planning my stay in Pittsburgh at this hotel. Right from the start, I was told that my room (which I paid for in advance) was not paid for because the third-party supplier (booking.com) sent a card that was declined. The man at the front desk said that this has been going on with multiple third-party booking sites (not just booking.com) for several weeks now, and I would have to call them to figure it out. He said we were the third one that day and there'd been five from the night prior. While we were trying to find a number for booking.com (since he was no help in directing us on who to call) he was fielding calls from angry people for the exact same reason. People who had no resolution to the problem were demanding compensation for their purchase. He said that he would be talking to "them" (behind the mysterious door) about it, and someone would come out to speak to me shortly. He was very inconvenienced by me wanting the room that I paid for. After 3 separate calls to booking.com, each about 25 minutes a piece and all in the busy hotel lobby trying not to seem unreasonable or angry, he did not want to send screenshots of the problem he was having on his end to email given by booking. Finally, over an hour and a half of me getting to the hotel after my 4-hour drive, a woman emerged from the mysterious door. I asked if she was the woman I was waiting for. She had no idea I was waiting for anyone. She asked if me and my significant other wanted a water or something to eat while we waited for a resolution. I reiterated that I just wanted a resolution considering I made my payment on my end, and the problem they were having with their vendor was not MY problem. After finding out that I had already paid, she told the man at the front desk to get me a room and they would handle their business with their business partners, Booking.com. The man behind the desk HAD THE NERVE TO PROTEST IT! He then grudgingly had me put a $100 hold on my card for incidentals and $39 for parking and gave me a room key. The story doesn't end there! The next day, a woman was working the desk. After being given a room by the man at the front desk and staff in the back, she explained that the problem was never resolved and I would need to pay an ADDITIONAL $130 dollars because they couldn't conduct business with their third-party booking site. After refusing, the woman said the card on file would be charged either way. So now I'm out $151 from Booking.com, $39 for parking, and $130 double-charge for the night I already paid for in a room that was smaller than it appeared in pictures. At least I know what I'm getting when I book with Marriot. read more

While most of the staff members were pleasant and the room and common area were decent quality, the double surprise focused on parking. We failed to examine the fine print and discovered that parking was over $29. And, to our surprise, we learned (via our credit card charges) that there was an additional $10 city tax on the parking charge. Neither the hotel or booking agency (super.com) mentioned that. An unfortunate surprise that, if communicated up front would have greatly improved the quality of the experience. read more

I do not recommend the Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh. In my eyes, Service makes or breaks a business. We have a reservation at this hotel for tonight ,since they only had a king size bed for my husband and son I called to verify that the sofa bed will be made for my son. I expected a sure, No problem but to my surprise the answer was : "No. the guest can open the bed and make it by himself. He will have everything he needs to open the sofa and make his own bed. We have 140 rooms, we are fully booked and we only have 5 hours to clean the rooms.." This kind of service is unacceptable .I am paying for the room and expect the hotel to make sure the accommodation is exactly as asked for. Very disappointed.cThe Holiday Inn near has a better service and it's cheaper . read more

Hotel is adequate but a bit expensive for a dirty room. We had to ask for new sheets as ours had visible marks on them. We also had mold in our shower. They also didn't have free breakfast. You had to pay which, again, for the price per night felt unfair. The staff was nice but I'm not sure if sat here again. read more

We have stayed here in the past never had any issues, until this recent stay. Upon opening the door to my room it smelled like weed and after turning the bedding down as I always do in any hotel I am staying at I found there to be black hair and food in both completely made beds. After going into my mother's room which when you opened her door it smelled like vomit and upon further inspection my daughter found vomit or poop on the side of the mattress. read more

We stayed at the Cambrian by PPG Arena for the Pirates vs Dodgers game in Pittsburgh. We already thought paying to park was weird for a hotel but we got a great deal on a Two king bedroom for $250.00. Well turns out that the room we booked was only a one king sized bedroom, the front desk receptionist would not doing anything about it we took a screen shot of the booking details and the front desk receptionist keep saying with the reservation ID says that it was for a one bedroom room and there was nothing he could do about it. We couldn't even get a refund because we had to speak to the manager about it in the morning. So my brother ended up sleeping on the floor with couch cushions. We get up in the morning to use the Hot tub for my brother to try and relive the stiffness in his neck and back he got from having no choice but to sleep on the floor. Well of course that went wrong too. The pool door was broken, so we had to wait for maintenance to pry the pull door open for us to use it and once we were finally able to use the hot tub, yep what a shocker, the hot tub quality was poor, the jets didn't work that well and the water in the hot tub was dirty. Then we get yelled at by staff for taking the pool towels outside the pool area because we weren't completely dry yet and the staff lady told us she would bring us extra towels to our room. So we hand her our pool towels and go up to our rooms cold from the water still on us and dripping water on the elevator. Finally thank god we're going to check out and leave this nightmare of a stay that this was. Well we talk to the manager and ultimately told us that they would call us in 4 days about issuing a refund. Do I believe they will actually call us? I highly doubt it. The best part is when we even left the parking lot they charged us another $100.00 for parking after we already paid the $38.00 to park for the night and even when leaving the parking lot we had to stop to go back in and also get that refund issued which they finally at least refunded us that but we now have to deal with the 3-4 business days of us receiving our money back. This hotel deserves only a 1 star from me. Because the only thing that was good about this hotel is the fact that it's located directly beside PPG Arena. Unless you want to walk literally a couple feet to PPG Arena, I would recommend avoiding this hotel at all costs. Worst stay of my life. read more

Only a 1 star rating because choosing 0 isn't an option. The beds were absolutely disgusting. Stains all over the mattresses and sheets. I have pictures to prove it too. We did not stay at all and I tried to get a refund right there numerous times and they refused. I am still fighting to get a refund. The manager Debbie was extremely rude. I've never had a bad experience staying at a hotel until now. Absolutely not worth the $416. The streets are cleaner than this hotel's beds/bedding. read more

This hotel has gone downhill and FAST! The manager, Debbie, is SO rude. I had a dispute on my bill from my last stay and she acted like she couldn't see it in the system - I could tell she just didn't want to help me. Called back when I knew she wouldn't be there and another associate was friendly, helpful, and found the charge and refunded right away. I stay at the hotel frequently - unfortunately - for work and have experienced her rudeness not just to me but to other staff. The hotel needs updated. The bathrooms need overhauled. Lots of mildew in the tiles in the shower. I do not dare walk barefoot in this hotel Visible stains on carpets and always an odor to rooms. It's unfortunate because before COVID, it was a very nice hotel with a wonderful manager. I will say on a positive note - the beds are comfortable with very clean linens. read more

Stay at Cambria Hotel - downtown Pittsburgh - April 30-May 3, 2026. Pros: Rooms on the hotel floors are very quiet - no noise in hallway or from above or neighboring rooms. Room was comfortable. King bed was comfortable. Breakfast, although not free, was very tasty and reasonably priced. Accommodating personnel at front desk. Strong water pressure from shower stall. Nice fitness center. Attractive, inviting and clean front area on first floor. Cons: Non functioning coffee machine in room 520. Sofa bed very uncomfortable. Zippered bag with linens for sofa bed had sheets and coverlet - no real blanket. I asked for a blanket and received another coverlet. Mold in shower - it should have been scrubbed. Bathroom sink did not drain well-just washing my hands filled the sink half way with water. No information card in room to find out how to get room cleaned, trash removed or towels changed. read more

We've stay here before, I like the place.. I was having procedure at nearby hospital, so needed a room for early arrival at hospital and place to chill after. It was in a good location, but room number weren't in order 312,314,313?.. at first had hard time finding 313. Was a bit wierd..had a very hard time getting out of parking lot, had to go back in to get another scan card.. read more

Walked into our room and walked right out. The bed had bed bugs and the shower had mold (see photos). The woman at the front desk argued with me saying that bed bugs are microscopic... not true. Don't stay here! read more

Booked a night here due to the proximity of the arena so we could come here after the concert. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, they got us checked in early so we didn't have to store our bags until check-in time. When we went up to our room, we noticed a very strong smell of fumes. I thought it was just a cleaning solution smell - but it seemed to linger like paint fumes. We also had several stained areas on the carpet and crumbs which made it seem dirty. I was disappointed because I thought Cambria was supposed to be a more luxury/upscale hotel but it is reminding me of a dingy motel. Probably would avoid staying here in the future. Maybe there are nicer rooms and drew the short straw. read more

The Cambria Hotel is quite literally perfect for overnight stays - especially when you'll be attending an event next door at PPG Paints Arena! The lobby is beautiful! Lots of seating in the restaurant and bar area. Staff is friendly and ready to assist. Hotel is easy to find and easy to navigate. My room was clean and HUGE! There's seriously so much space in the room! My ONLY complaint with the room itself is that the bed sits rather low to the ground and I found the mattress to be a tad uncomfortable. I've certainly slept on worse though. The room is equipped with a Keurig, fridge, and microwave, desk area, couch, 2 TVs, iron, etc. - basically all the necessities plus some more. Quite impressed with this place. Will absolutely be back! read more

I was recently here again for the first time in almost 5 years, and I felt it was time for an update. This is still my preferred hotel in Pittsburgh, but a bit of the shine is gone. As has been typical, there's been some cutbacks/changes. In the pool area, the jacuzzi is not available. Even though the sign on the door said the pool was open on Sunday, my key flashed red every time I tried it. The exercise room is still very good. The bar/restaurant area was not open, though admittedly it was a very slow night, and it's probably only open on busier nights. The parking area behind the hotel is still a great convenience, but the price has been raised from $17 a night the last time I was here to now $25/night. Only 2 ice makers are available, on the 3rd and 7th floor. read more

Stay anywhere else. Filthy rooms. No cleaning service during a 3-night stay. Hotel staff had no answers. Had several guests in front of me while I was waiting to check in who were given occupied rooms. Stained sheets. Musty, smelly rooms. No soap for bathroom sink. Not even a complimentary bottle of water. read more

A stones throw from Paints. We stayed here for a two night visit and were pleasantly surprised. The front desk staff was courteous and extremely helpful. Pros: Clean light filled lobby Lobby has ATM Lobby snack store Pool with hot tub Gym Laundry room with washer and dryer on the 3rd floor Bed was firm but not hard Fatty friendly bathroom on the 7th floor Great shower pressure They have a parking lot Cons: Not walking distance to much Open shower, we got the floor wet Dryer left our clothes damp read more

Orange pink mold in the bathroom. Holes in the blankets. A mini fridge that would only freeze (all of the people in my group reported this same issue). Keycard that took several tries every time to work. Kids playing hockey in the hallways. The closest door had been ripped out but not repaired. This place advertises as a three star hotel but shouldn't be. The saving grace was the polite and helpful staff - to a person, they were great. Pity the corporate office didn't give them enough resources to make the rest of the hotel as good. read more

The Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh is a classic venue hotel. Travelers and guests don't select the Cambria Hotel for too much more than location. I guess that sums it all up - really convenient location . . . even in the midst of all the downtown road construction. A great location says it all for business and event travelers. I was a speaker at the School of Education at Duquesne University and Cambria is the hotel of choice for housing out-of-town guests to the campus. Talk about convenient - the campus is only a quick jaunt up the hill. There is also very accessible passage to the downtown area and a plethora of restaurants. Was this a top notch "3-star" hotel? Nope. Is it a friendly, convenient and safe place with refreshingly friendly and competent staff? Most definitely it ticks all the boxes; and, the externalities of the hotel make it a great place to stay even if it is a little low-grade in the offerings of style and panache. read more

we stayed at this hotel because it was right next-door to the paint center and we were going to a concert however, the first room that we checked into was smelly and filthy rundown, and the worst of it was there was blood on the comforter the the sheets, so we moved to another room, which we thought was better still not great, but since we've come home BOTH BROKE out with scabies or bedbug bites. Being treated for scabies at over $100 apiece . DO not stay at this hotel. It's not worth it even if it is a convenient location. HORRIBLE experience!!!! read more

The front desk attendant Jim Mason was extremely incompetent and rude. As we were waiting in line to check in, we heard him tell multiple guests that he could not find their reservations. After a lot of back and forth he would finally find their reservations. When we got to the front, we faced the same situation. However when we provided him with our check in information, he told us that there was no room associated with our info and they were booked up; we booked this room via our conference. He was very curt and passive aggressive from the start of the conversation. When we asked if he could look in a different way, he essentially told there was nothing he could do, he was not accommodating. He did no work to investigate the situation; we tried to give him different information and he didn't try to find out the issue. We eventually figured out that the hotel extended the booking to 5 nights (no one could figure out how this happened) and the booking was cancelled. We eventually figured out the issue after we asked for the supervisor, Randy, who was very friendly and helpful. He was able to find us a room after he talked to us and discovered that my colleague is the only one needing the room and I was just there. Jim made the incorrect assumption that we needed a double bed room without asking us and that is why he told us they were booked. Randy was very graceful and offered my colleague a discount for all the confusions I rate our interaction a 5 out 5 stars but Jim's manner and guest service dropped this hotel in stars. As a platinum Marriott member, I was sad to see this is how non-members are treated at check in. read more

Tried to go here before a concert. Full bar advertised and looked available. Bartender offered beer on tap which had a cleaning bottle next to it and wine that was spread all over the counter in a haphazard way. No thanks! Not very busy. No need for that. Terrible! Won't be back. read more

Nice hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, located right next to PPG Arena. Very convenient place to stay for anyone going to a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game. Rooms are nice, and there is a bar and a restaurant on the first floor. They also have a pool. We had breakfast at the restaurant and the food was pretty good. They only had one server, though, and she was swamped with customers. She did a great job, but it took a long time to get all the orders out. read more

We picked the Cambria because it was the closest to the PPG Paint Arena and it had a restaurant and a bar. the person that checked us in said the bar was open until 11pm. After the concert, we came back to hotel to get a drink. Time wax 10:10pm. This is on a Friday night. Bar was closed. The person at desk was clueless as to why it was not open. Yo top it off room keys did not work. Had to go back down to lobby and fight concert crowd. I would not recommend this hotel, I don't care how close it is to the PPG Paint Arena. Go to the Marriot right by the arena read more

The best thing about this hotel is its convenient location next to PPG Paints Arena. The arena is literally spitting distance from the hotel. That being said, I'm not sure I would bother staying here again unless I'm going to an event at the arena. We first arrived around 4:30pm to check in and were informed that our room wasn't ready. They had 4 members of the housekeeping staff out sick and so room cleaning was behind schedule. I don't know if those 4 people were out sick with Covid, but it was a thought that immediately called into question the cleanliness of the place. Anyway, we were told the room would be ready in 45 mins. We came back at 6pm (so 45 min x 2) and were informed the room STILL wasn't ready. We witnessed plenty of other guests aggravated by the same news. So we lugged our bags back to the car again and went out to dinner. Came back at 8pm and were finally able to check in! Yay! When we got to our room, it seemed as if the housekeeping was rushed, likely due to the staffing issues. There were handprints all over the window. There was a clump of hair matted into the carpet. A few basic amenities were missing (like cups and restaurant/bar information that you get at even the cheapest hotels). But the bed was made (hopefully with clean sheets) and there was no trash in the room, so there's at least that! Still concerned about the cleanliness of the place, as I mentioned before. Then I noticed I got overcharged. My reservation said my total price (tax included) was $254.80. I was charged $330.26. I went down to the front desk to ask if there was a security deposit or something that would be refunded down to what my reservation said, provided I didn't damage anything. A fairly normal practice, but I would have preferred to be informed up front. The guy at the front desk said there was a $50 security deposit that would drop my charge down to $280.26. Given that $280.26 doesn't match what my reservation said, I think he was making it up on the spot and that I was getting ripped off. They had the nerve to send me a "thank you" email that showed the original $254.80 price again, even though they charged me more than that. I've included screenshots from the reservation email before check in and the "thank you" email from the morning I checked out, along with a screenshot from online banking that shows the overcharge. My wife thought they should be giving people free drinks or discounting the rooms to make up for the inconvenience of having to wait so long to check in, but no, they overcharged us instead lol To top it all off, the walls are paper thin. We could hear everything going on in the room next to us--ALL night--and they were NOT quiet. One thing I will say though... Some of the other reviews say the drinks at the bar are overpriced. I actually don't think that's true. Maybe everyone else is ordering drinks different than what we did, but I found the prices to be in line with what we pay at most other bars. And the drinks were good! read more

This was my fourth time staying at this Cambria and the first time since 2016. Boy has the quality diminished! Our room was a king suite on the 6th floor with a separate bedroom. The Good- Customer Service-Everyone we encountered was super friendly and helpful. Even walking past the bar, the bartender was very friendly. Free Shuttle-Access to a free shuttle within two miles is fantastic. Shuttle driver was very friendly as well. Parking-Going to list as a bad too, but in/out privileges are great. Location-If you are going to any event at PPG Paints or really anywhere in the city everything is very accessible. Bed-Super comfortable The Bad- Drab room-I've stayed in Cambria Suites in four other cities and this location desperately needs TLC! There was no excuse for having a cracked picture in the room (huge crack in the glass). Refrigerator- Barely working, compressor was super loud, and no knob to adjust temperature. Parking-20.00 plus tax to park. A little excessive there. The Ugly- Cleanliness-In times of COVID you would think hotels would be extra vigilant about room conditions. There was trash from a previous guest in the trash can. One of the couch cushions was in the wrong direction (zipper was out), stains on the carpet, and mold on the caulking in the shower. Overall I was a little disappointed with the experience here. Certainly there are other options if you are staying in downtown and I would explore them unless you need the convenience staying this close to the arena. read more

So many things wrong with the hotel. The elevator doesn't work. The bed is nearly broken. The room wasn't clean. They never came to clean our room in 3 days. The furniture is beaten up. The coffee tastes bad. All it has going for it is the proximity to the arena. read more

Everything was fine until our "server" from the bunch buffet ( where you serve yourself) laid our check on the table and informed us that she was a if we put a tip on the card she wouldn't get it and that "she likes a cash tip". She said she was a fill in. Not sure what that has to do with the fact that it's in poor taste to mention anything about tipping period. Unprofessional, tacky and so rude. If I had it to do over I'd have left nothing. read more

Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh - Crappy maintenance - Hotels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The shuttle driver Charles, is super friendly and kind. The front desk let me check in early, the staff is all-around friendly. The room is okay - nice set up but the lamp didn't work, there was no outlet for my phone on the nightstand, the temperature was either too cold or too hot, the lighting is dim, and the carpets were a bit dirty. The beds don't feel super comfortable so that's a bummer but maybe I'll feel different when I wake up in the morning. There is also no fan in the bathroom which drives me bonkers! On the plus side - if you're looking to go to a hockey game - the arena is right next door! read more

My family and I visited Pittsburgh Oct. 9th-11th and stayed at the Cambria Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. The parking was convenient and John the shuttle driver was great. Aside from that, our stay was horrible, and I don't use that term loosely. 1) Massive water leak in the bathroom (see attached video) and Alex the maintenance guy blamed the problem on us and never resolved the issue. 2) The room was never cleaned/restocked. 3) The carpets are filthy. 4) Getting coffee in the lobby/restaurant is a big affair. Cambria is described as "upscale" and though we paid "upscale" rates, our experience was very bad. read more

Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh - Filthy Room - Hotels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Super easy to spot, just next to the PPG Paints Arena (hate those Pens) with a very large parking lot behind the hotel. There is a gate to enter/exit, but it was opened during our stay. Perhaps it closes late night. The place was fairly dead upon our arrival this past Wednesday. Nice gentleman working the desk got us checked in very quick. The room itself was a fantastic setup. Nice and spacious with a separate space for watching TV and the beds were in the back with another decent sized TV. Beds seemed clean, but there were many stains on the carpet and the shower curtain was a mess. Beds were comfortable, as were the pillows. Nice darkening curtains. Doors to the rooms were very heavy and loud when closing if you didn't hold it some. Our neighbors were late arrivals and repeatedly slammed the door going in and out, which kept us awake close to midnight. Breakfast was offered for a cost. No continental snacks or anything, except for some OK coffee, so we checked out and ventured to town for breakfast. That was a disappointment for the morning. Not the worst place I've stayed and not somewhere I would be returning to anytime soon without checking other hotels in the area. read more

Gross. Overpriced. Would have left and gotten a different hotel if it hadn't been so late in the evening. Booked a king suite but it was filthy, asked for a different room and ended up in a queen size bed. Would have argued for a discount but my skin was crawling and it felt better to just check out as soon as possible in the morning and GET OUT OF THERE. Never again. read more

This hotel is right next to the PPG arena. Had we known, we might have gone to a game. It was also approximately 15 minutes from anything we want to do in Pittsburgh. It seems everything in Pittsburgh is about 15 minutes from where you are. The hotel was very nice and clean. Our room had a mid century modern vibe. The bathroom was very private. Sometimes bathrooms aren't and, no matter how much you love the person you're with, you might like a little privacy once in a while. Our room was lovely and we liked our view. The bartender downstairs was really nice and made Sidecar for me. But one of the best things about the hotel was actually the parking lot. We could come and go as we pleased. It super convenient compared to other lots. If you are looking to order food up to the room, it appeared to me that the menu did not offer any gluten-free or many vegan/vegetarian options, but I did not ask if they were accommodating. read more

Unorganized. Emotions over business. Most employees unstable. New management every couple years and still struggling.

Here for a business trip. Being used to 4 start and above I'm actually really impressed by this hotel. It was clean and I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The parking was very convenient as well with the lot being right outside. I would stay here again if under the same circumstances. I would say a comforter instead of a bedspread would have made this stay even better. If you know you know. But it was cold even with the air off. - Ash read more

Came here for a business trip with a group of about 60 people for 4 days. It looked nice enough upon entering the building. The rooms are a nice set up but poorly maintained. The carpets are absolutely disgusting. Lord knows when they were last cleaned so bring some flip flops which can serve you well when you take a shower. There are moldy markings throughout the shower and I'm pretty sure the toilet has also had a leak. It's sad because it has potential. The food here is also subpar. We were provided with free breakfast and lunch and it was less than desirable. So much so that we went out to eat in leu of eating the food they provided. The bar was minimally stocked which again led us to going to another establishment to spend money. There is not much around this area but there are many places to stay and eat which are a 20 minute walk away. This place needs an overhaul and there were so many other hotels we saw during these walks so do yourself a favor and look into those instead of here. read more

Very nice hotel , very close to Mercy Hospital . We will stay their again. On our next trip down to hospital.

Very unsatisfied. Upon arrival, we checked in to be told there is a $50 parking a day. Next morning, we found out that breakfast is not included. The room was dirty, so the front desk attendant moved us to another room, which wasn't a whole lot better. The front desk attendant was very dry and not friendly. We will never stay here again. Also, their website didn't say anything about a parking fee and that breakfast is not included. This information would have been nice to know before booking because we would have bypassed this hotel from the start. read more
