"Solid mid service hotel."
Overall Score3.5/ 5
The Hampton Inn & Suites downtown University Center is located just a few blocks from University of Pittsburgh and 10 minutes from downtown. They undergoing major renovations and the updates are amazing; I was able to see the transformation first hand. The hotel features complimentary breakfast, fitness center with free weights, comp WiFi and shuttle service within three mile radius. This is a solid choice for the business and leisure traveler especially sports teams or
weddings.
