Food and Drink Options

Start your morning right with a buffet, American, or vegetarian breakfast—ideal after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, many great eateries and pubs are within walking distance. Plus, with some rooms having kitchenettes and a grill area available, you can easily prep your own late-night snacks or pre-game with friends before heading out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more relaxed and doesn’t feature live music or bars, you’re located near Oakland’s vibrant nightlife and just a short drive from downtown Pittsburgh’s clubs and lounges. Whether you're into dive bars, jazz spots, or local breweries, you’ll find something to fit the vibe.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness, comfort, and size of the rooms, especially those with kitchenettes. Many mention the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the quiet atmosphere—perfect after a night out. The hotel’s central location and walkability to universities, restaurants, and venues also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that parking comes with an extra fee and that the area gets a bit quiet at night—great for rest, but not ideal if you're hoping to keep the party going on-site. Also, while there’s no official bar or restaurant on property, the nearby dining options help make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a quiet, comfortable, and well-located home base with room to relax and recharge, Residence Inn by Marriott Pittsburgh Oakland/University Place hits all the right notes.
