Great location in downtown Pittsburg we were able to walk to everything. We had came for the Tigers vs Pirates series, PNC Park is very close. Hotel is very nice, clean and quiet.

Downtown - near all the entertainment. No swimming pool or sauna. The hotel was excellent at the Priceline price. Overall, I had a great time, the bed was very comfortable and enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh.

Date of Stay: October, 2008

We booked this hotel online The hotel itself is Historical, and the Lobby is beautiful. Our room was very small. The furniture was outdated, and the tv, was a also outdated. We were on the 15th floor, and it was still noisy. The bathroom amenities were just ordinary, not what you would expect. Also the room was not very clean. The front desk was not very friendly, and the doorman didn't greet us once. I don't plan on staying here again.

Date of Stay: July, 2008

I booked 1 night for July 4th. I brought a guest from out of town that had never been to Pittsburgh. Upon my arrival I had been told that my prepaid room, which I confirmed on the way, was now being occupied. We were given a room with a murphy bed. The floors and bedding had stains. I approached the front desk 2 hours after I had checked in, after a long day of traveling, demanding a new room or a refund. They gave me a room that was supposedly being held for another guest. Although the new room was up to my expectations, it was too late to enjoy it and my guest had now had a poor first impression. I never recieved an apology or even any sort of reimbursement. If you are looking for good service this is not the hotel you should choose.

To start with, the gentleman that checked us in, gave us wrong directions on how to get to our evening event, and we ended up arriving late to our rehearsal dinner since our luggage was misplaced by the staff,and we had no clothes to change on, luggage arrived 90 min late. (No apologies received) I requested a shower cap and never arrived, we were supposed to receive a good welcome since we usually stay at Omni and are Gold members but no water, nor newspaper was received. Perhaps it was just us having not such a lucky day.

Attractive yesteryear hotel. A bit past it's prime though.

Date of Stay: August, 2008

We were going to the 1st preseaon Steelers game. My 9 yr old son is a HUGE fan and the trip was a surprise for his birthday. We're from Ohio so of course we needed to stay over. Most hotels were already full and this hotel was the 1st to have a room available. So, it took it. My reservation was for 2 double beds. I specifically stated 2 adults and 2 children. We arrived around 2 p.m. (BEFORE checkin time) and they only had rooms with 1 bed available. They said they could send up rollaways for the boys. When we got to our room it was extremely small! There was absolutely no room for rollaways. There was barely enough room for what was already in there. At check in they said they'd bring the rollaways right up. 2 1/2 hrs. later we still hadn't heard anything from anyone. We ended up calling to cancel the rollaways and just asked that they bring extra blankets and pillows so the boys could sleep on the floor. (That took about an hour.) When I made the phone call I found out that they were planning on charging me $25 for each rollaway. That was never mentioned at check in AND my reservation was for 2 beds - not for 1. Thank goodness we cancelled them. The room was very dusty (my son has asthma). When we arrived there was a tray from the room next door in the hallway. They had evidently gotten room service. The tray was still there when we got back from the game late that night. The staff was unfriendly, with the exception of the valet crew. For the price we paid this hotel was not worth it. Never again.

We arrived at the William Penn expecting great things from the recent reviews on this site. However, when we pulled up to the hotel late in the evening, there was a large group of drunk people smoking at the entrance, and we had to wait 10 minutes for the valet to respond to our request. The hotel lobby is absolutely gorgeous, a great location to relax and have a conversation. While our room was spacious, it was rather dimly lit and dull compared to the rest of the hotel. The bathroom looked like a remodel was in order as well. We ordered room service twice during our visit, and the food was pretty tasty with speedy service (35 minutes or less!) Although we didn't have time to stop for the Sunday brunch, it looked really good as well. Overall, we had expected a little more in terms of the room quality at this hotel, but the stay was still fairly enjoyable.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

The hotel is extremely nice. Good location - close to PNC Park, Heinz Field, and downtown restaurants and theaters. Room was clean and comfortable. However, our room was right next to the elevators and it sounded like a freight train was going by the hotel every 15 seconds (all night long). Ask for a room away from the elevators and with a view. All we could see was a brick wall and we looked directly into rooms in the next wing.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Check in was quick and the front desk staff was very helpful. The hotel is amazing and rooms were extremely comfortable. Didn't like that we had to leave. Easy to find hotel. The hotel has a breath taking lobby and friendly front desk staff. The rooms were spacious and inviting, and the beds were so comfortable you didn't want to get up in the morning. Room service was prompt and friendly. The porter was very friendly and helpful with the luggage. The parking garage was easy to access and only $5 a day to park, which was a nice surprise.

Date of Stay: September, 2007

The room was extremely stuffy but the staff did attempt to purify the air in the room. Thank goodness they were able to open the window. The bed sheets were really rough and no dusting was done during our 3 day visit. Ordinarily that would be ok but when the window is open in a city dust builds up very quickly. Also the concierge did not provide information on getting around the city besides recommending an expensive taxi service.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
We were there for the Urban Dare. When we arrived in our running clothes, outside staff wasn't very welcoming. After that, things got better and we had a great experience.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

The front desk man took time to ensure we got a room with the amenities that we important to us. The late night bar service was inattentive even though it was extremely slow. Manager didn't even address despite seeing problem. Lovely historic property in downtown Pittsburgh which shows off the city's great style at the turn of the century. Updated rooms with all the current amenities yet with the details from the bygone era still in tact. A gem and a nice change from the ultra modern facilities of today.

	Date of Stay: September, 2007
My friend and I were down in Pittsburgh for a Steelers- 49ers game and had a blast the entire weekend. The staff was friendly and considerate. One of the best moments was when my friend realized we were staying in the same hotel as the 49ers (since I didn't tell him that was why I wanted to stay there). Even though I'm a Steeler fan, that was well worth the trip.

Date of Stay: April, 2009

Visited this location for a concert at Mellon Arena, which is in close walking distance and a safe, well-lit hike...so the location was ideal. I didn't want to re-circle the very busy block to find the parking lot, so I paid over $20 for valet, self-parking would have been $7, I think. That's the only drawback I could come up with...besides the drink machine being totally sold out on our floor, and checkout took awhile (no bill was left at our door for self-check-out)...but these aren't big problems, IMO. The room we had (king bed) was beautiful: nice bed, flat-screen television, and not a cramped room by any means. We didn't get to enjoy the restaurants, but the facilities looked great, and they have a Starbucks in the lobby. Overall, a beautiful place, not cheap but I thought it was worth the money.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
I have stayed here many times. This was the worst room I had ever had.

	Date of Stay: August, 2007
The Omni is a beautiful old hotel that has been renovated to modern standards. The lobby is magnificient and the rooms are very well appointed with loxury bedding and big screen LCD TV's. The only negative is the small bathrooms. This is one of the best 4 star hotels in Pittsburgh and is located near everything in PIttsburgh.

	Date of Stay: October, 2008
The Omni William Penn Hotel is located right in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. The hotel is nicely appointed with large rooms and very comfortable beds.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Classy, beautifully kept old hotel. Room a bit small. Friendly and accommodative. A wonderful property, interesting and evocative of a very different era. Wonderfully modernized.

	Date of Stay: April, 2008
It's a stunning hotel with a lobby that will make you want to take out the camera. The rooms are the average size and come with the basic ammenities. I would stay here again, location is great too!
