I thought my stay was great. The Front desk was so helpful. Also the food in the Restaurant was great! Our meals at breakfast and dinner were hot quick and excellent. I highly recomend the Courtyard in Shadyside when ever traveling in Pittsburgh.

Why did I have to pay nearly $20 for valet service? The parking area was steps away from the front door. If Marriot wants to charge for parking, charge for parking. According to my check-in person, there were no other options. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

The staff seemed very sympathetic to our situation with the hospital. They were sold out one night and we were unable to get the discount for the hospital, but overall they were the most caring front desk staff!
