number of free amenities like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and a shuttle that takes
guests within three miles of the hotel. There’s also a small indoor pool,
restaurant, fitness center, and a business center. Its 198 rooms are spacious
and include microwaves, mini-fridges, pullout sofas, and Keurig coffeemakers. Some
complaints have been made about cleanliness issues. While there is a pricey fee
for parking, it’s common for most hotels in this part of the city. But it could be worth comparing rates with the Hyatt

Scene
An inviting chain hotel that caters to sports fans and business travelers
SpringHill Suites
North Shore is housed in a cream and red-brick-colored building. The interior
decor is tasteful and promotes an overall calming
atmosphere. The lobby is decorated in green
tones and earth colors. The front desks are white with tree branch patterns complimented by a turquoise accent wall. There’s a large central sitting area that’s
well-lit and has a wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Booths, tables, and
communal tables give guests a chance to gather and relax. By contrast, SoHo,
the on-site restaurant, has an intimate vibe set with low lights, wood floors,
and leather booths or chairs with tables. The hotel attracts a wide array of
guests, but the clientele is usually sports fans on the weekends and business travelers during the
week.
Location
Close to sports venues, museums, and downtown Pittsburgh
Situated between the Allegheny River and I-279,
SpringHill Suites Northshore has the perfect location for sports lovers. It’s
across the street from PNC Park, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ baseball stadium.
Heinz Field, home of NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers is a 15-minute walk away. Consol Energy Center, where the Penguin NHL hockey team plays, takes 24 minutes
on foot or a seven-minute drive to reach. Other non-sports sights are also nearby including the Andy Warhol Museum, which is a minutes’ walk. Rivers Casino is a 19-minute walk
away, and the Carnegie Science Center
takes 17 minutes on foot. For business travelers, downtown Pittsburgh takes 12
minutes on foot or a six-minute drive. There’s a variety of dining options on
surrounding streets. Public transportation is also plentiful with a metro stop
that’s a six-minute walk away and a bus stop that’s a minutes’ walk from the
hotel. Pittsburgh International Airport is a 36-minute drive. For those who
want to forego walking to nearby attractions, the hotel has a free shuttle for
points of interest within a three-mile radius. But on-site parking incurs a daily fee and is quite pricey.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, and pullout sofas
Rooms are spacious with a standard
chain-hotel style. They're generic but functional. A neutral color palette is found throughout the wavy patterned wall-to-wall carpeting, beige walls, white bedding, wooden headboards
with soft yellow leather insets, and pale blue pullout sofas. Rooms include desks
and ergonomics chairs, dressers, flat-screen TVs, and wet bar areas with sinks,
Keurig coffeemakers, microwaves, iPod docks, and mini-fridges. There’s also free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms have a beige
and soft blue color scheme and feature shower/tub combos. The granite sinks are set apart from the toilets and showers, which provides extra space. Hairdryers and Paul Mitchell toiletries are provided. Be aware that higher-floor rooms that face I-279 can get traffic noise, and complaints have been made about room cleanliness.
