Excellent

Beautiful historic building conveniently located in the Shadyside neighborhood. Very convenient free parking in a Pittsburgh hotel, which is usually inconvenient and expensive. We enjoyed meeting our family in the beautiful cocktail lounge, and the staff was very pleasant and most accommodating. My only criticism is that our room furniture was somewhat worn, with scratches in the wood, chipped edges, etc. The bathroom itself had been recently renovated, and the room itself was very clean.
Wonderful stay walking distance from the CMU campus. House is beautiful. Only recommendation is strengthen the WiFi, much needed for business or students connecting to do homework.
The room has no refrigerator. I was not told when I checked in. I bought a lot of food and had to through them away next day as there is no refrigerator. I kept on calling the hotel manager in the ladt three days and didn't hear any call back after I left massage to the manager.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There was a large window in the bathroom, and probably because it was windy outside, the whole bathroom felt really cold. When I came out after showering, I could feel a chilly draft all over my body.
What made things worse was that there was a ventilation vent in the room right next to the bed that made a constant noise all night long—it sounded like being on an airplane. I couldn’t sleep at all and only dozed off around 5 a.m.
But then at around 9:30 a.m., a cleaning staff member suddenly came in without knocking. They just opened the door and walked in. When they saw my son and me still sleeping, they said, “Oh, you’re still here? I thought you had already left.”
The whole experience was terrible. I barely slept—just a little over three hours—and just when I finally did, someone barged in and startled us. We’re exhausted, especially since we have to attend my son’s university tour today.
What a gem! The mansions on 5th was an excellent surprise. This area of Pittsburgh is gorgeous. We were touring Carnegie Mellon and were able to easily walk over to the campus tour. Rooms are updated, clean and comfortable. beds were extremely comfortable. Staff very friendly and accommodating. If my daughter ends up at Carnegie Mellon, we will be back!
The Mansions is a beautifully preserved and/or renovated mansion. It is not a typical chain hotel. Each room is unique. Some of the amenities are extra, I.e. no fridge in the room unless you reserve one. Service was responsive. They were having a wedding in the main building and living room for several hours during our stay. But plenty of ways of move around without interfering. The wedding flowers were gorgeous. We have stayed there several times when visiting our student son and would highly recommend it. Centrally located. Lovely.
Mansions on Fifth is a unique overnight accommodation that embraces nostalgia with an upscale attention to detail. Ayda was attentive and accommodating during our stay.
