We stayed during a visit to Carnegie Mellon. Location was perfect. It's an older property but that adds to the charm. Good sound proofing. Cannot control the thermostat beyond a set temperature; Vents are high up the tall ceilings. AC system was quiet. I believe the hotel had a small bar but no other real food option. Plenty of nearby restaurants.

We were very excited for our stay in the large castle-like mansion and ended up in the Amberson House instead. No elevator, no bathtub for the kids, and the mattresses weren’t comfortable. Housekeeping didn’t empty our trash or replenish our coffee the whole stay even though they came in to replace towels. No ice except at front desk in the other building, had to go over there to get additional towels too. Hotel breakfast was a $15 egg sandwich. Room not very soundproof and we could hear the front door slamming from the second floor which means everyone in the building probably heard our baby crying too. Fridge in room but no microwave anywhere in the building. No lock on the bathroom door. Not comfortable walking distance from any food (15 minutes minimum). Overall it was an okay stay but for $50 more per night than a Marriott definitely not worth it.

We've been staying at Mansions on Fifth for several years now. We love the hotel and location. However, we were disappointed to learn this time that the absolutely wonderful breakfast that was offered earlier (for like $22) is not longer offered. Instead, for $15 you can get a pre-wrapped dried out croissant from some factory in Pittsburgh. Major disappointment. They have the facilities to offer breakfast, all they need to do is cook it.

Incredible Staff. A Special Place to say, but yet, there are tradeoffs, smaller rooms & beds, old creaky floors and thinner walls and less noise sealing on doors. Parking seemed limited without much of a back-up option. Street felt dangerous to pull out onto with sight triangle blocked. There was an elevator in the main building but I don't believe the 2nd building where we stayed had one. I don't know how much the elevator accesses. The site is hilly and uses gravel a fairbit. It seems like they host a fair number of events.

I arrived late the evening before the NFL draft. When I arrive, I had a parking space available. The grounds look fantastic. I walked in the door was open at 11 PM and the night clerk was waiting right there at the desk. He was the most pleasant professional person I’ve met in a long time. We had a very nice discussion and then went up to my room, which is fantastic. Overall, a great day. This is a hidden jam and I hope that the folks who are running it keep doing improvements overtime because since managing that property, it really has become a very nice place.

Staying in a mansion is a special experience that I enjoyed. Plus the location is really close to CMU if you have a kid attending the school. The king bed was really comfortable and the full size sofa bed was one of the better ones I ever had. Air Conditioning worked wonder. Hot water was strong. Please note there was no refrigerator in the room. Parking was a little tricky but we were always able to find a space. All the staff were attentive and courteous. Thanks!

We visited Pittsburgh as a get-away and a friend recommended Mansions on Fifth after attending an event there. Entering the front door was like finding an elegant, civil world of the past. The facilities show care and love; the staff are friendly and customer-focused. We appreciated the bar and sitting areas as quiet places for gathering and discussing. The bar offers drink and food options we enjoyed at the end of the day. Our room was quiet, clean, and well appointed.

Walnut street, a 15 minute walk away, offered many eating options. The Airport Flyer bus (route 28X) stops on the corner of Amberson and Fifth next to the hotel. The Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, and the Phipps Conservatory are a 25-30 minute walk and worth a visit.

If the purpose of your trip is to be near CMU, this is a great hotel due to its proximity.

For anything else, this is a very average hotel, unless you really love the old archaic mansion style.

You get a good amount of room, but the space is not very high quality. The bathroom was old, very little light, and then furniture is quite old (again, if you like this kind of thing then this is great).

Additionally, they somehow were not able to finish cleaning my room by 3pm (or at least they prioritized other rooms, even though it didn't seem like there were a lot of people staying at the time?), and so when I got back at 3:45pm (tired) I couldn't be bothered to wait for them to clean it.

That's not terrible, but when I asked the front desk worker if the hotel could clean it by 3pm the next day, they said that they couldn't guarantee it, and ADDITIONALLY accused me that the only reason they didn't the day before was because I had put the \"Do not disturb\" sign on (which I definitely did not, they knew I hadn't put that up the prior day because they called me asking if I wanted it cleaned at around 5-6pm, to which I said no). To be clear, the issue wasn't so much that they missed the cleaning, it was what happened the next day.

To summarize, a very average experience for a supposed \"4-star hotel\" (I would say it is much, much closer to a 3-star or even 2-star hotel in my experience).

We stayed just one night to help our son move to an off campus house near Pitt. Our room was large and lovely - a grand old building lovingly restored. Parking right there and no extra charge. Just a few minutes from Pitt’s campus. Price was comparable to brand name hotels, but the place is much more interesting. We took a short Uber ride to dinner (love Butterjoint) and enjoyed a nightcap at the hotel bar, sleeping hard in our quiet room after moving and cleaning. The hotel’s bag breakfast was a snack to get us going for good bagels and coffee. Really the only minus there is the lack of solid breakfast and good coffee, and not big one. Will certainly stay here again.

They canceled my reservation after I had received a confirmation that a room had been reserved. They called me to say that there was a glitch in their system that reserved a room in error. When I spoke with the manager, she failed to properly explain to me what had occurred and did not offer any assistance . I had stayed at this property several times in the past, but now they have lost a customer for good. They can never be trusted. Completely unprofessional of them to cancel my reservation after I had received the email confirmation.

It was such a cute place. Most of the staff was very polite and informative. One thing I didn’t like was that I could overhear the cleaning people complaining about their jobs how they didn’t have enough time to complete the work that they needed to get done. Also, I didn’t like how much noise I could hear through the unsealed windows in room 2302 they really need to insulate their windows so it doesn’t sound like you’re sleeping on the street. But I would definitely stay there again. I did really love the place and it’s very convenient for visiting my son at CMU.

The mansions on Fifth are, first of all, gorgeous inside and out. Upon arrival, I was met by a staff member who held the door for me and asked if I required help with any luggage. He then explained some history of the property when I began asking questions about it. I felt very welcomed right away.

Check-in was simple and prompt. I stayed in the Amberson house, which is located next to the main building. My room was on the second floor. I could hear some people upstairs during my stay, but it was muffled and not loud at all so I was unbothered.

The room has plenty of natural lighting, equipped with all my needs. I felt very safe here.
I wish the bathtub had a functional plug so I could have taken a bath, but the shower worked wonderfully so it's not an issue.

There is light traffic outside, nothing crazy, so it still felt calm inside.
They offered breakfast for $15/person, which I declined.

Check-out was also quick and easy.

Overall, I would certainly recommend. I hope to return and hear the piano of the main house played sometime.

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.

Pittsburgh historic mansion.

The Mansions is a beautifully preserved and/or renovated mansion. It is not a typical chain hotel. Each room is unique. Some of the amenities are extra, I.e. no fridge in the room unless you reserve one. Service was responsive. They were having a wedding in the main building and living room for several hours during our stay. But plenty of ways of move around without interfering. The wedding flowers were gorgeous. We have stayed there several times when visiting our student son and would highly recommend it. Centrally located. Lovely.

Parking is free, it's close to many things, and the experience was great. One drawback was that they were hosting a wedding the next day, so some of the lobby was removed, and there were some pre-wedding revelers who took over the bar -- but that was a minor issue.
