Pittsburgh: Hyatt Place North Shore (September, November 2019)



My spouse and I stayed at the Hyatt Place North Shore for two nights in late September 2019, then again for a 2-night stay in November 2019. We reserved our room many months in advance using the Hyatt website (we are World of Hyatt members). Sometimes this property requires a two-night minimum stay during certain events. 

The Hyatt Place North Shore is located between the Pittsburgh Pirate’s PNC Park and the Steeler’s Heinz Field. (We were attending a University of Pittsburgh college football game [played at Heinz Field] on the weekend that we visited.) The hotel is located approximately 0.1 mile from PNC Park and 0.4 miles from Heinz Field, making it the perfect place to stay to cheer on either team. It is also located a walkable 1.5 miles from PPG Paints Arena (to see the Penguins) and 1 mile from the Benedum Center (for live theatrical events). The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service within a 3-mile radius of the hotel.

The Hyatt Place property offers paid surface lot parking (one space per room) for a nightly fee that can be added to your hotel bill. The lobby area adjoins the breakfast (buffet) room and dining room. Next to the front desk is a bar (alcohol is served) as well as a grab-and-go coffee/bakery case. The hotel has a business center area, an indoor swimming pool, and several private meeting rooms.
We reserved a regular room (number 416 on our first stay, and number 419 on our second), which offered a studio-like atmosphere. Upon entry, a living room area offered a sectional sofa with ottoman/coffee table, desk and chair, and dresser/storage space that held a coffee maker atop and an empty mini-refrigerator below. A TV was positioned on top of an open shelving area and swiveled so that it could be viewed from both the living room and the bedroom areas. (A small wall divided the spaces.) Although the toilet and walk-in shower (no bathtub) were contained in its own room, the sink/vanity area (including some drawer storage space) was open to the rest of the unit. Barnet Kenet MD toiletries were provided (number 1 shampoo, number 2 conditioner, and number 4 body lotion; however, it was evident that number 3 (which was probably shower gel) was missing because of the numbering format).

We loved the proximity of the Hyatt Place North Shore to Heinz Field, and we will gladly stay there again.
