What guests think

At Comfort Inn Conference Center Pittsburgh Penn Hills, reviews describe an aging, renovation-in-progress property with frequent cleanliness and maintenance issues, balanced by friendly staff, a big indoor pool, and generally appreciated breakfast, though the hot tub is often closed.

Rooms feel dated with recurring problems like faulty locks and fixtures, weak or inconsistent hot water, and finicky keys or HVAC. Facilities such as the pool and gym are often under-maintained, and the hotel lacks an elevator. Expect budget-friendly basics with notable tradeoffs in upkeep and reliability.

The bed was horrible, the room was so old and beat that this was 100% one of the worst hotels we have stayed at. PLUS there were eye lashes left on the counter in the bathroom. I refused to shower there cause who the hell knows if the bathroom was actually cleaned. The pool area was so rusty and falling apart it was sad. The duct tape over the sky lights, the shattered glass in one of the swimming pool area’s window, the hot tub had caution tape on it…..I mean, if we had any other choice, we would have left. Hotels in the area were sold out due to a large event going on. The only plus, is they are in the middle of construction so I hope the clearly neglected facility gets a major redo.

Room was nice and clean. Hallway smelled like mildew since we were close to the pool area. But the room itself did not smell. Beds were comfortable and clean. They give you wrist bands for the pool and for breakfast in the morning. No one monitors use of these. Pool area was not as nice as the pictures. Definitely needs a face lift. Pool towels were too small even for my 9 year old skinny kid. Chairs in the pool room were broken. Pool itself seemed clean and taken care of. Breakfast was good. Many options for everyone. The waitress there was so nice and helpful. Very hard working making sure everyone was ok and tables were clean. It was 9:30 when they started cleaning some of the stuff up tho, when breakfast was to end at 10am. Would stay again since it was close to the amusement parks, and in a decent area. Was surprised it was so quiet being close to the interstate. Would stay again.

This hotel is convenient to visit my sister in law. The people are friendly, the breakfast is fine. Huge indoor pool is nice too, but the hot tub isn’t working & heard rumor that it will be removed. This hotel hasn’t been maintained, paint splotches here and there, worn furniture, bathroom door needing to be replaced as it sticks & the bottom is falling apart. But the hotel is safe, the people are helpful, and it is convenient. We will stay again, but if you plan to stay here keep your expectations in check. This is a far cry from the Ritz Carlton. But it is decent.

The hotel needs a lot of work. The staff was excellent but the property is in bad condition. Lots of rust in the bathroom, pieces of the ceiling hanging down in different parts of the hotel. The fitness room should be shut down until the water damage on the ceiling and tiles are replaced and the equipment is cleaned up along with the floors and walls. Not sure if there is mold. The pool area was also inadequate with lots of rust and water damage.

The hotel was under renovation which would have been nice to know ahead of time . There were people working in the halls and stuff was everywhere. The pool was in poor repair and out dated . Duct tape on the broken windows and rusty peeling paint everywhere in the area of the pool. We thought that going through Trivago that we would get the best price and the front desk said they could have beaten it by quite a bit:( there was not even a bar in the closet to hang our clothes on. The window in the room was falling out so another guest came in and secured it enough for us to not have to move to another room.

After I checked in and went to my room the keys didn’t work, so I had to go back and the receptionist made new keys and accompanied me to get in the room. The room smelled, there was for sure a flies breeding in the bathroom plumbing somewhere because there were baby flies all over the place. The towels smelled disgusting. The bathtub was filthy .. The bathroom was totally beat down and the door could barely close. The mattress wasn’t that comfortable. I put the heat on during the night time as the temperature dropped as Pittsburgh can get cold overnight even though it was only end August, and once I did that there was a disgusting smell coming out of the heater so I had to turn it off. The free breakfast was below par compared to other hotels I’ve been to with free breakfast. The coffee was about as cheap as it gets. Bottom line, I wouldn’t stay there again if it was free!

We arrived at midnight so we were exhausted from a 6 hour drive. the floor had not been vacuumed, there was dried toothpaste on the faucet and counter, the bathroom floor was dirty, there was hair on the wall and tub, and there was a dirty hand print on the towel. Not having any options we went to bed. In the morning we spoke to the desk clerk. She said to put up our luggage and they would have the room vacuumed and clean the bathroom. We left at 9:00 am and returned at 3:30. NOTHING was done. It was awful. This is an area we visit often and we thought we had a good option for this visit and future visit. We were wrong it was terrible and we will NEVER stay there again.

This hotel is unsanitary, and unsafe. The trash bins in the common areas were overflowing, there was puke going down the stairs, ants in my bed, and mold and bugs on the walls. There were people smoking various things and the hallways smelled of marijuana so bad it was seeping into my room. I brought it to staff’s attention and they said they couldn’t do anything about it. Worst hotel I’ve ever been to.

If you are OCD and like super clean rooms then this hotel is NOT for you. If you are ok with MOTEL like accommodations then this IS it. There are signs saying they are doing renovations and all hallways have no baseboards throughout the whole hotel. The floors are ripped up and there are patches and holes throughout the rooms and hallways. First floor rooms near pool are musty and nasty. Couldn’t even imagine swimming in there.3rd floor was okay. Bathroom and room could have been more clean. They need to update this place asap because it could be a gem. The restaurant actually serves good food but the free breakfast was disgusting. The eggs and sausage had a fishy taste at first bite and my stomach was hurting immediately after. They refrigerate the powder donuts which were cold and chewy. Recommend making a waffle eating some toast or oatmeal and maybe some cereal. The fitness center was also less than desirable and like being in a basement. I don’t plan to return here. The staff was pretty friendly. The outside was well lit so I didn’t feel unsafe and it was actually pretty clean. However, that did not prepare me for the inside…

Went back, told them, given another room. No apology. Teenagers running up and down hallways all night. Complained to desk. They were already aware but couldn’t stop them. The absolute worst place I’ve ever stayed. Wouldn’t go back if it was free

The front desk people were super nice. The AC in our room worked. The hotel has seen better days. Shabby and worn, maintenance does not appear to be kept up. The power was out when we checked in and went out several more times during our stay. The towels were yellowed with age as were the sheets. Our bathroom door looked as if it had been kicked in and soaked down with water. The swing lock on the door wouldn’t lock because the screws kept falling out. Half the lamps and outlets in our room did not work. We had asked housekeeping for some coffee for our room the second day we stayed and he yelled loudly when he went into the storage closet and then told us there was no coffee. Water leaks in some of the hallways. The restaurant was closed due to power outages for most of our stay. To top it off, they did not honor the rate Expedia showed when we booked. This horrible place cost us an additional $133 than we were told it would. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Away from Downtown but close to arboretum and zoo, mall a few miles away. Layout or interior is confusing and you get a map, you'll need it! But overall good condition and pleasant.
