Top Central Oakland Hotel Reviews

Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

Joinery Hotel Pittsburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Awesome, clean, trendy hotel with an old school feel. The staff was amazing and it's extremely walkable to the subway and other DT locations. Room was small, but clean, well maintained, and had everything you need (outlets/chargers in places that make sense, closet that actually has space, a fridge that holds more than 1 bottle of water, more than 2 cups, etc). Only "negative" is that there are only 2 elevators for all 10 floors of rooms. Given each floor has like 20 rooms or so, It gets pretty nighmare-ish when it's busy/packed. But, the elevators aren't slow so the wait is minimal. Just annoying."
