    The hotel bar entrance
    Leslie H.

    We stopped in here for a drink on a particularly busy Saturday night in downtown Pittsburgh. Multiple events let out around the same time and everywhere was buzzing. Our group has had positive experiences visiting this hotel bar when the hotel was still The Renaissance, so we decided to check it out. We were surprised to see that the hotel had rebranded as The Atterbury since we last stopped in. The two bar tenders were busy making drinks when we arrived and actively avoided making eye contact with anyone who was waiting to be served. We stood there for a good 5-10 minutes before one of them acknowledged us and told us he'd be with us shortly. I don't mind waiting for service, but at least say hello. The beer list and prices were decent for a hotel bar. There's plenty of room to sit in the beautiful hotel foyer of the bar area is crowded. It's too bad that the cold reception at the bar overshadowed what would have otherwise been a fun nightcap.

    This place was a disaster from the minute we checked in with the two bitchy front desk attendants! Instead of welcoming us to the Marriott Renaissance, they greeted us with scowls and didn't offer us water or even check for an upgrade when we were promised one when we made the reservation. This is not a four-star hotel! It is like a 2.5 star At best, the rooms are totally lackluster and dingy and dirty and beaten up - and all of the staff that we interacted with were completely unfriendly and untrained. What a disappointment! This hotel has the potential to be beautiful - with its great architecture in place, but everything is dirty, shabby, and no one is even trying to be nice or helpful!! I would never recommend this hotel my worst enemy!! do yourself a favor and don't come here! Why would you pay to be treated like dirt? Even Scrooge and The Grim Reaper would be more welcoming than the servers at the restaurants and the people at the front desk here!

    The rooms were an okay size. I got a king bedroom and I didn't feel cramped. Also got a high floor with a nice view of the bridges. The concierge lounge had okay food. Wasn't the best I've had, but consistent with the downgrades Marriott has done to their concierge lounge food options after COVID unfortunately. But the staff at the lounge (Judy) was extremely friendly!

    Such an amazing hotel!!! The lobby is beautiful, and my room was huge with an amazing view! There was a clog in the sink, and when I informed the front desk, they were quick to take care of it. A few of the staff could be a little friendlier, but overall an amazing stay! They even brought my DoorDash Starbucks order to my room. That in itself deserves 5 stars!! Lol! I would definitely stay there again.

    I visited this hotel for a work conference and found it to be a pretty good stay! The conference food was really great quality--definitely order their giant cookies! The Lobby/Bar area was nice and updated. My room had a great view had a cozy bed. The room did have a very odd smell to it but that could've been a neighboring room's takeout. Great location with many restaurants and things to do within walking distance. I'd be willing to stay here again.

    I paid a hefty amount for my weekend stay and was extremely disappointed in the condition of the room. I opted for the corner suite as we were in town celebrating a birthday. The room was grungy and visibly poorly maintained. Valet staff were excellent; quick, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is beyond mediocre with chain restaurant options. The common areas are stunning! The view from my room was top tier but as I previously stated the condition of the room gave motel vibes. I reached out to the hotel expressing my frustrations and concerns, provided photos and no one reached out with an apology or resolution. I do not recommend this location.

    Great location, VERY small accommodations! The hotel is beautiful and is in an amazing location located downtown Pittsburgh with view of the baseball stadium and lots of food options within walking distance. We parked across the street in the parking structure to avoid the steep $41 nightly valet cost. I am a diamond member so upon arrival I did not revive a room upgrade as expected but I did receive coupons for breakfast for both all 3 nights of my stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast unfortunately was very underwhelming. I would return to this hotel but I would need to get a bigger room because the room is definitely not worth the price.

    Wow wow wow! We stayed overnight in downtown Pittsburgh and chose the Renaissance because of the idea of having a river view. It was absolutely beautiful now that the sister bridges are completed. We found ourselves walking over to the windows multiple times to look at the views outside of the bridges and ballparks. Check in was very easy and the woman at the front desk was welcoming. The room was a king bed with a river view. The lobby is gorgeous as well when you walk in, there is a beautiful staircase.

    In summary- the hotel needs a renovation but they have a done a lot to make it the best it can be before indulging in the big ticket items. I liked the location and would stay here again. . Pros I did get upgraded to a high floor with a view. Lobby is breathtaking! Great gym!!! Judy in the lounge (yes- they have an exec lounge!) Hot shower with great water pressure. Nice new decor Big screen TV Only 1 block from Starbucks Bar in hotel was lively View from room was nice. Dark hallways which I prefer. Staff friendly. Cons No full length mirror The TV was stuck on the bonvoy commercial. I had to call an engineer up to reboot Room was small and had an adjoining door, which I hate and requested not to have. Gym had some broken equipment: Recumbent bike made a weird clicking noise at first and then broke. One of the four ellipticals was broken After I checked in, I had trouble logging into the WiFi. They have a "work around" where you click "sign in with access code". I never saw that option. And I did not want to spend what little time I had going to the front speak for them to trouble shoot. I ultimately used my personal hotspot from my phone. Later it worked.

    Came here for the Christmas bar with a couple of friends. It was very cozy, welcoming and able to spend a few hours comfortably with holiday cocktails and finger foods. Staff were great, nice decorations, not over crowded and enjoyed the design of the hotel inside. Beautiful place.

    We have stayed at this hotel briefly for several nights and here is the review in detail details: Rooms: not very spacious, interesting colors with industrial feel decorations, not in a bad way, just a little difficult to feel completely relaxing due to the color theme. Room service was very good. Bathroom was spacious. Amenities are good. They have a good size gym. A good number of conference rooms on the second floor. Food and drinks: they only have one restaurant on site and with limited opening hours. Quality of food was good though. They have one bar on site. The bar opens for a much longer time than the restaurant, however, given its location there is no shortage of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Services: this is one of the areas I was the least pleased with at this hotel. From the day we check in to the hotel and through our stay, the staff that worked in the bar, the services were just not good. During our check-in, both my husband and I felt there was a little attitude during our check-in process, not sure if the attitude was towards to us or the lady was having a bad day. And for the three times I visit the bar. None of the bartenders offered me a food menu nor told me I was able to order food at the bar, nor even come to the table for any service while I was sitting at the table . The only reason I found out I can order food from restaurant at the bar was by walking to the restaurant and the wait staff in the front told me about it. My experience was basically if you are not placed yourself right by the bar there is no service for drinks or food. Which is definitely something this hotel management need to work on. The location of this hotel it's very convenient . Walkable to town center, restaurants, bars, bridges to across to the otherside of the water, to the stadium, museum, and many more. There are many activities nearby, including, but not limited to museums, sports and concert at the stadium , boat ride, community events in town center area, Theatre plays or movies, at many more. As a high-level Marriott elite member . I did not feel like I was appreciated by staying here . Since there are so many hotels in the vicinity, I definitely cannot say I will return to this hotel given my experience from this time.

I stayed here one night because I thought the trendy Bloomfield neighborhood would provide a nice change-of-pace from the more established downtown area. I was also planning to drive to upstate New York and thought this would be a convenient location for a faster getaway. Well, a sudden winter snowstorm forced me to cancel the side trip to New York, and I ended up spending very little time exploring Bloomfield because I took a long nap in my room after a sleepless night in the previous hotel. Even though it was bordering on pointless to shift to this hotel, I still enjoyed the studio I reserved for $152. There was a comfortable king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a corner sofa, and a 360-degree swivel flatscreen TV. It was a lot of amenities I didn't need, but hey, it was freezing cold, so the apartment set-up made it feel cozy. One other advantage was a sizable lot to park my rental SUV. Even though they offered a happy hour and continental breakfast, I skipped both. Instead I braved the cold and just strolled on Baum to find a decent greasy spoon for dinner and a quiet gay bar for a drink. Not a bad stay, and I'd consider a return to explore Bloomfield.

Here's our experience. 1) Check-In: One unique aspect of this hotel is that the check-in is on the top floor with a beautiful view of Pittsburgh. Take the elevator to the 10th floor and two check in stands are right when the elevator doors open. The entire check-in experience took about five minutes. The woman helping us was efficient, personable, and even gave us a walking map of the area. She also gave us two drink vouchers to use on house beer, wine, or a mocktail at the hotel bar. 2) Rooms: Our larger room was on the 4th floor with two queen sized beds. The room corridor was wide, making it look much larger. There are plenty of outlets everywhere, lights, a TV, a Keurig machine, a fridge, and more. The bathroom was spacious with a toilet room with a closing door inside, a large shower, and Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The beds are semi comfy and come with lots of pillows. 3) Amenities: There's no pool, but there is a gym with machines and weights. There's also a small rooftop terrace with a view of the Cathedral of Learning, work areas, and more. There's valet parking and a cheaper parking garage not connected to the hotel across the street. One interesting aspect of the hotel is that it's on the site of the Syrian Mosque, a large music venue. A recording studio, guitar, etc. inside the hotel are all nods to the music venue. 4) Service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. After a day of exploring, our room had a nice card with chocolate, macarons, and raspberries, and nice water for us. My wife forgot her toothbrush and the front desk gave her a free one from behind the desk! 5) Neighborhood: It's next to a number of museums and monuments and the Cathedral of Learning, which is worth a tour to see their Nationality Rooms.

Long story short we decided to try this hotel this time. When we arrived, staff was friendly no issues. But as soon as we opened the door to our room, you could smell the damp, mold, mildew. It was bad! Within minutes my allergies were going nuts, I was so congested, itchy nose and throat. Mind you I take medicine daily. We went down to ask about changing rooms to which it was declined due to being sold out. (I know they can't help that) the receptionist offers to have staff clean whatever we wanted but mold isn't something you can 'just clean'. I had to be at the hospital at 5am leave at 430 so I was going to have to spend 8ish hours there. After 10 minutes and as severe as my reaction was I knew I couldn't. We tried to find another hotel close, unfortunately due to events happening everything was sold old. So we made the decision to go out until 1230 and then came back to sleep for minimal hours before checking out. While I understand my allergies are not their fault, having mold, dampness mildew in rooms is. I would not ever stay again.

We've had great experiences with other Hotel Indigos and we were willing to stay a bit outside of the city to stay at this trusting brand, but we were very sorry we did. While the hotel appears decent on the exterior the rooms are anything but clean. Our trip started with arriving to what appeared to be an okay room. The room/hall had a vague scent of mold but that as the least of our worries. When I went to put my water bottle in the fridge I noticed there was a McChicken from a previous guest. The fridge also smelled so it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Upon further inspection the room had multiple stains on our bedding as seen below. I travel often and I have never been in a hotel room so dirty. The floor had clearly not been swept in between guests as evidenced from a penny and some crumbs found near the trash can. In addition to the dirty interior the bathroom and shower were not cleaned. The shower had hair from a guest that was neither myself or my traveling partner. There were also cracks in the walls throughout the bathroom. In addition to the disgusting room the hotel also employs one person for the Valet. The lines to get your car were consistently long and for $32 per night it really didn't seem worth it. If this were a cheap hotel I would simply say you get what you pay for but it's not. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. While the area surrounding the hotel is decent, the hotel itself is not worth it. You can pay a similar amount for a hotel in a more central location with better cleanliness. The only reason the review is 2 stars instead of 1 is because the AC worked very well and we were visiting during a heat wave. Overall, we will not be returning to this Hotel Indigo.
