Terrific… mostly!
A very well located hotel with pleasant staff, a clean gym, spacious and comfortable room. Objections: horrid bathroom lighting. Also non-working phone. tea making only on request, quirky faucets in shower and at sink. Linens were generous in size and quantity and cozy robe, Would definitely recommend!

Nice university location in Pittsburgh
Good location.
A bit pricey.
Expensive cocktails.
Comfortable mattress.
The shampoo/conditioner/shower gel bracket fell off the wall because it was only caulked in place - not mechanically fastened. Cheap!

Excellent hotel and location. Gave 4 stars for cleanliness due to finding a dirty ear swab in the bathroom and want super clean. Also found a pendant in the bed that didn’t belong to us which was bizarre. Linens seemed clean. Maybe the cleaning staff lost it while changing the sheets. Otherwise - wonderful!

Best views in Pittsburgh!
We booked the Oaklander for a Pitt graduation.
I’ll start with the positives, the location was convenient, able to walk to several places, including Phipps and the graduation. The staff were all friendly but the room was just ok.
We didn’t spend a lot of time there, but the view was awful and at times awkward.
We had some minor issues with toilet paper roll being broken and I also found the linens to be uncomfortable. They were rough and scratchy but perhaps that’s part of a spa experience and exfoliation.
IMO I feel like the hotel is overpriced and there are several other nearby hotels that have larger rooms and better views & comfort. I guess if you spurge for the Oaklander, spend the extra on the upgraded rooms with a view.

My colleague and stayed here for a work trip and we had a very positive experience. Room was large and clean, and it was great having a Nespresso machine in the room! Everything we needed was within walking distance of the hotel. The rooftop bar was beautiful and had a great cocktail list, and the restaurant offered a delicious breakfast in the morning. The gym was spacious and had a good variety of workout and cardio equipment. The service everywhere at this hotel was friendly!
