Terrific… mostly!

A very well located hotel with pleasant staff, a clean gym, spacious and comfortable room. Objections: horrid bathroom lighting. Also non-working phone. tea making only on request, quirky faucets in shower and at sink. Linens were generous in size and quantity and cozy robe, Would definitely recommend!

Nice university location in Pittsburgh

Good location. A bit pricey. Expensive cocktails. Comfortable mattress. The shampoo/conditioner/shower gel bracket fell off the wall because it was only caulked in place - not mechanically fastened. Cheap!

Excellent hotel and location. Gave 4 stars for cleanliness due to finding a dirty ear swab in the bathroom and want super clean. Also found a pendant in the bed that didn’t belong to us which was bizarre. Linens seemed clean. Maybe the cleaning staff lost it while changing the sheets. Otherwise - wonderful!

Best views in Pittsburgh!

We booked the Oaklander for a Pitt graduation. I’ll start with the positives, the location was convenient, able to walk to several places, including Phipps and the graduation. The staff were all friendly but the room was just ok. We didn’t spend a lot of time there, but the view was awful and at times awkward. We had some minor issues with toilet paper roll being broken and I also found the linens to be uncomfortable. They were rough and scratchy but perhaps that’s part of a spa experience and exfoliation. IMO I feel like the hotel is overpriced and there are several other nearby hotels that have larger rooms and better views & comfort. I guess if you spurge for the Oaklander, spend the extra on the upgraded rooms with a view.

Todd, Novelty

The toilet did not work when we arrived. Then we discovered that the thermostat did not work either. The maintenance guy inspected the unit and said that he could not fix it in the state it was in. I got overheated at night because we were unable to lower the room temperature at night for sleeping. We also had to track down staff to get hand soap because there was none. Finally, the remote control for the TV did not work well because someone put black tape over the receiver on the TV. It was very frustrating to have so many things wrong with the room.
