Residence Inn by Marriott North Shore

Pittsburgh


This renovated chain-hotel option has a pool, a fitness center, free breakfasts and rooms that feel like mansions. It's also well located: a quick zip over the bridges to the downtown area, or within walking distance of some of the North Side attractions. Note: it can be a zoo if the Steelers or the Pirates are playing.
