Mansions on Fifth

The bartending staff was top notch, knowledgeable and engaging

Beautiful historic building conveniently located in the Shadyside neighborhood. Very convenient free parking in a Pittsburgh hotel, which is usually inconvenient and expensive. We enjoyed meeting our family in the beautiful cocktail lounge, and the staff was very pleasant and most accommodating. My only criticism is that our room furniture was somewhat worn, with scratches in the wood, chipped edges, etc. The bathroom itself had been recently renovated, and the room itself was very clean.

Wonderful stay walking distance from the CMU campus. House is beautiful. Only recommendation is strengthen the WiFi, much needed for business or students connecting to do homework.

Loved this place! I felt like a queen!

The room has no refrigerator. I was not told when I checked in. I bought a lot of food and had to through them away next day as there is no refrigerator. I kept on calling the hotel manager in the ladt three days and didn't hear any call back after I left massage to the manager.

There was a large window in the bathroom, and probably because it was windy outside, the whole bathroom felt really cold. When I came out after showering, I could feel a chilly draft all over my body. What made things worse was that there was a ventilation vent in the room right next to the bed that made a constant noise all night long—it sounded like being on an airplane. I couldn’t sleep at all and only dozed off around 5 a.m. But then at around 9:30 a.m., a cleaning staff member suddenly came in without knocking. They just opened the door and walked in. When they saw my son and me still sleeping, they said, “Oh, you’re still here? I thought you had already left.” The whole experience was terrible. I barely slept—just a little over three hours—and just when I finally did, someone barged in and startled us. We’re exhausted, especially since we have to attend my son’s university tour today.

What a beautiful unique property. It was clean, everyone was polite. I was thankful to have a stay so convenient to visit Carnegie Mellon from. I really liked that I could place a breakfast order and have it ready in the morning to pickup. Would recommend.
