    A rowing maching in the fitness room would have been nice, along with an espresso machine instead of the drip coffee magine in the room (I'm from Melbourne, world capital of coffee snobs).

    The room was spacious, with enough room to work at the desk and to walk around. For visiting CMU and Pitt, as well as other attractions in Oakland, the location was excellent. The staff were uniformly helpful and pleasant.

    High prices for a "city hotel". The room was connected to another room, so I could hear the entire 6h phone conversation the other guest was having loudly in the middle of the night. Breakfast was paid, but small portions. Restaurant didn't let me eat a sandwich at a table despite buying a Margarita there, they told me to go away.

    Room was ok, nice bed, nice sheets, good location in proximity to CMU

    Parking was in a different structure and quite expensive, $40 for the night. I reserved a corner room showing windows on two sides of the room. I got a room at the end of the hallway, but only one window. 10% more room charge for corner room didn't make sense for windows, but I was told that the room is more spacious, being at a corner. It didn't seems to me more spacious compared to other hotel rooms.

    Location in the city.

    Our room was hot, no matter how we adjusted the thermostat, it stayed at 76 degrees. The overnight parking was expensive and had a 10 tax? on top of it.

    The location was great, the room was large and clean, the cafe had a good variety of food/drinks

    The parking garage was convenient but the spaces were so close together it was hard to pull into a spot and then hard to get out of the car. Be prepared for door dings. We were lucky and didn’t get any but they sure would happen easily in this garage.

    Close to CMU, it had a bar and a Starbucks cafe.

    The corner queen room was extremely small and lacked simple amenities like a refrigerator and coffee maker. While typical of mainstream Marriott's, it was not consistent with other Courtyards. Besides this concession. The hotel at large was super clean and the staff were outstanding and so professional.

    Parking is $40 and due to city center location, practically mandatory. I would rather have that fee shown in all listings to be fair...

    Hotel is immaculate and fresh.

    Breakfast at the cafe was a reheated breakfast sandwich. Rather expensive for what it was. But the staff were very nice and friendly. The cafe is inviting too. I don't like having to make an account at Bonvoy Marriot in order to get wifi. I really don't need more ads and emails coming at me.

    Room had all the comforts, spacious too. Bathroom was clean with all the amenities (except spa robe- but I don't expect that at this price point). Room to unpack and nice touch- a suitcase spot. My room had a view of a local landmark. TV will stream from your own streaming accounts, which makes sense these days. One block from the Cathedral of Learning at University of Pittsburgh- don't miss it!
