This was great for food options and seeing how the students hung out after class. Lots of activity on Forbes.

There is a marriott I believe right there across from the Tower that was ideal.

Oaklander is ridiculously expensive - there are many others close to campus that cost 25% of the price. Use the Pitt website to get a discount at one of the others mentioned

We loved The Oaklander when we visited a few months ago!

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn University Place. They gave us a late checkout as we had an afternoon tour.

Oaklander was perfect for us. There was a promo code on the Pitt admissions site. It is located on the same block as the admissions building so location couldn’t be better and a lovely hotel.

Go to the pitt.edu site and search hotels (or maybe visit?), and you'll be able to book nearby hotels with a discount code.

+ 1 for the Courtyard right there

The Oaklander is very nice, with top location, but rooms are small. Nice breakfast upstairs before touring though (make a reservation for b-fast).

Overwhelmed by the choices. Where did you stay within walking distance?
