Pittsburgh Marriott North
Reviews
Seven of us just went to the Mother's Day buffet and here are my thoughts. As for the food, the salads and the seafood selection was excellent and generally very fresh. I especially liked the capicola and raw oysters. The grilled veggies were very nice. The limited selection of desserts were pre-made, but very tasty. I loved the espresso mousse and carrot cakes. For younger palates there was a nice selection of pasta and breakfast foods. My picky kids found enough to put a meal together. The beef roast, pork, and chicken were of middle quality and the sea bass was not up to par in my opinion. Our experience with the service did not meet our expectations. The servers were pleasant but not attentive enough. I suspect that they were trained to handle banquets so our drinks were empty too much and used plates tended to linger too long. They also automatically added gratuity to the bill which didn't give us opportunity to express our opinion (hence this review). This is the most expensive Mother's Day buffet in this area, so I feel I have a right to high expectations. My hope is that the Marriott will make a decision about the viability of this event and either focus on other efforts or become the go-to leader for Mother's Day. Right now I can think of at least two other buffets that are out-competing the Marriott in all areas including price.
I've had way better rooms for less than half the price of rooms here. No hot water, no mini refrigerator, and the shower head is low enough that I can't stand under it. I am 5'11" the restaurant is way over priced. Big big waist of money. Edit: all the pillows on my bed are exactly the same and all terrible
i have stayed at many hotels and this is by far the best hotel i have not only stayed at but had events at as well. i live south of pittsburgh but will only host events at this hotel, which is a 50 minute drive for me. the banquet staff here is beyond helpful and very professional. i find their customer service refreshing!
Pretty average hotel for the cost. No jacuzzi, expensive Internet. Looks like the last time it was remodeled was the 90s. Service/parking/lobby was great but that's about it.
Service was excellent from the front desk staff to the room service. We were absolutely blown away from their professionalism. The main lobby is beautiful and the food from the restaurant is great, but the decor in the rooms is a bit outdated compared to other Marriotts in the Pittsburgh area.
