Shame - could be a nice hotel

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Jun 2024
Was looking forward to staying at ES by Hilton, was dropped off after a long flight and walked in to a smell of Canabus and advised the reception was on the 25th floor. Only 1 of the 8 lifts worked and it took 20 mins to get to the reception desk. Didn't feel safe and I spoke to the receptionist to advise the same who said she'd check if I could be transferred to another hotel. She did call back and said I could cancel at no fee. I went down the next morning and the new receptionist was bordering on rude. I've cancelled my stay and moving to a Non Hilton hotel. The room was spacious although the AC was noise and hot water pressure was a trickle out of the tap. On a positive point the breakfast was good. Shame

We spent two nights staying here on our vacation in Pittsburgh. We picked the location because it was downtown, which is probably a mistake. The area where the hotel is isn’t very convenient, and kind of run down. If we were to do it again we would stay closer to one of the rivers.

The hotels layout is a bit confusing and the check in process needed a little more staff.

The rooms themselves had nice views, were clean, and were relatively roomy. The main issue with the room is the television, which was powered by the internet, was extremely laggy. It was next to impossible to watch anything on TV.

Any requests to the front desk were handled with ease and speed, and the valet service was excellent.

Beautiful building. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to PNC park and it was perfect. The room and bathroom were very spacious with great views of the city. The staff was super friendly and helpful as we needed to store our luggage for the day.

The room was very nice, quiet and clean. It has two rooms: a "living" area and a separate bedroom. The food in the bar/restaurant was good (I recommend the chicken). Check-in/check-out was smooth, and the bellmen/car valet was efficient. For the money, this hotel is a good value.

I stayed here on my trip to Pittsburgh. I was surprised to read its a 4 star. The prices are 4 star but the service does not meet 4 star standards. When I went to check out, there was no one at the front desk (7AM). The lasy was in the backroom. She took my key and started walking away. I needed a printed receipt. She didnt bother to ask. Staff in the breakfast area could be friendlier. A simple hello to guests goes a long way. Valet staff is hit or miss.

On the upside the rooms are large and relatively clean. The thermostat wasnt working. The room got hot.

Room service was expensive, but the food was a letdown..

My 4 night stay at the Embassy Suites in Pittsburgh was an enjoyable experience. The room was quite comfortable, the complimentary breakfast and evening social hour was very well done, and the hospitality was probably one of the best experiences I have had from a hotel. The fitness room was below my standards, I would've loved a hotel shuttle too and from the airport, and I am always disappointed when there isn't a hot tub available, but I would definitely recommend this hotel and would choose it again if looking for a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.

Room tip: If flying, arrange transportation beforehand. Uber ride was over $100.
