I had a great stay at Embassy Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown, enjoying the spaciousness of the room and the hotel's excellent location. The complimentary breakfast was a highlight, especially the made-to-order omelet station. The only downside was some minor issues with service responsiveness, but overall, I would definitely return.

I appreciated the hotel's friendly staff and spacious, comfortable rooms, but I encountered several issues during my stay. The reception area can be confusing due to the lobby's location on the 25th floor, and the towel shortage by the pool was frustrating. Additionally, breakfast was chaotic with long lines and limited options, which made for a disappointing start to my mornings.

Rooms

The room was spacious and well-equipped, featuring two queen beds and a sofa bed, which was perfect for my family. However, there were some maintenance issues, like a shower door that didn't close properly, leaving us to clean up water on the floor.

Service

While the staff was generally friendly, I found the responsiveness lacking when I needed assistance, like when I had to request bed linens multiple times through the app without timely follow-up.

Breakfast choices were plentiful, but they could have been better organized, with several warming stations empty during peak hours. The evening reception was a nice touch but seemed hit or miss for drink availability.

Facilities

The rooftop pool provided a unique view, but towels were in short supply, which dampened the experience. I also found the fitness center to be well-equipped, ideal for keeping up my routine during our stay.

I had a mixed stay at Embassy Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown. The hotel's location near numerous attractions was a significant plus, making it easy to explore the area. However, I encountered issues with the front desk service, as they were not particularly helpful, and I faced problems with my room key. Additionally, while the rooms were spacious and clean, the presence of black mold in the shower stall was unacceptable.
