The absolute best hotel on campus
Pros:

My daughter attends UPitt. Every time I roll into town, this is the only hotel I choose for a variety of reasons. First, the customer service is top notch. Their check in team is staffed with the same consistent reps which is nice because Je'lynn seems to recognize me every time and always greets me with a wide smile and a warm but impactful welcome back. Second, the food on the 10th floor is amazing. My daughter loves the generous pancake stack while my favorites are the french dip sandwich, french onion soup, most of the breakfast items, and even the simple salad is delicious. When I went this past week, I noticed a new restaurant on the first floor but haven't tried it yet but the other hotel guests said the pizza was fantastic. Third, the rooms are terrific, great beds, plush towels and a well appointed bathroom with Le Labo toiletries. Overall, the Oaklander is a high end experience with a reasonable price tag. The absolute best hotel on campus.

Super experience! Great value!
Pros:

Our stay was fantastic! We stayed on our wedding night, and they let us check in super early (~1130AM) on a Saturday because it was available. This allowed us to use the room to get ready and take a few photos pre-wedding. Even our photographer was shocked by how awesome the room was, because it's one of the less common wedding stay locations. Everything was very clean and in good condition. The pillows are nice and fluffy (down or down alternative). The windows were large and magnificent, allowing an unobstructed view from our corner room. They left us a sweet treat, a note, and bottle of champagne that we found when we returned to the room after the wedding - so sweet! The only teensy issue was that there was not a functioning mini fridge - if you'd like to refrigerate things, just know that you will want to pay $10 extra for them to bring up a working fridge! (by the way, they did this for us at 3AM to keep our wedding cake leftovers cool).

Pros:

Hotel & staff were great. Zero issues
Valet guys were great

Cons:

Only issue at that price point there should be the option of free parking. Not a mandatory $45+tax & tip. That adds up quickly

Perfect spot to access all that Pittsburgh has to offer!

Just stayed at the Ritz and the Oaklander was way better. Staff was great including the concierge who I tipped more than once! Restaurant was excellent and the views outstanding.

Cons:

Nothing!
