Hotel Resources to University of Pittsburgh

Planning the trip: Lodging

If attending Family Weekend or other sports oriented weekend, Pittsburgh lodging options become difficult and expensive. It is wise to book well in advance. If on a budget, staying near the airport or other suburban areas, you can find cheaper hotels with availability. If staying close to campus or nearby downtown, options are limited and can run upwards of $200-$300 a night with a two-night minimum.  Some considerations include walking from campus if student is in a dorm vs. students living off campus. Parking is difficult around campus so plan your trip accordingly. Some of the hotels offer shuttles to Heinz Field which is where the University of Pittsburgh football team share a stadium with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
