 | Sheraton Station Square Hotel Pittsburgh: Great Location ~ Near the Action
|  |

We did not stay at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel but found it to be in an excellent location as it was close to all the major attractions of the city. In my experience, Sheraton Hotels are uniformly very good and from what we saw, this hotel would be no exception.
The Sheraton was located in the bustling Station Square area and right on the Monongahela River front. Rooms on the upper floors would surely offer excellent views of the Golden Triangle area and the 3 rivers. In the accompanying picture (2), you can see the hotel also had atrium rooms with the unusual feature of balconies too and overlooking the large lobby, bar and restaurant area. A wall of glass flooded the lobby area with excellent light and gave a feeling of expansiveness and modernity to this hotel.
In addition to the standard amenities such as air-conditioning and the Sheraton " Sweet Sleep Beds," you'll find that this Sheraton offers a coffee/tea-maker, a small refrigerator, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, dataport, and free newspapers on weekdays. You also might enjoy the indoor pool, sauna, steambath room and sun deck.
Starwood Preferred or Club members have the option of paying slightly more or using more starwood points to secure a Club Level Room which normally entitles you to a complimentary continental breakfast and evening snacks. (I have used this at another Sheraton & didn't find it rated spending the extra points, but this hotel may offer its guest more.)
Banquet and meeting facilities and on-site, pay self-parking are added features.
While this Sheraton did not seem particularly unique, it's strong suit is definitely its location. The fact that it is right on the Monongahela riverfront, has good views, is located right in Station Square and is surrounded by many shops and restaurants, and a well-regarded restaurant right in its own lobby (Pittsburgh Rare, PH 412-803-3824), are all points in its favor. From the Sheraton you can also walk along the Station Square Trail, or over the nearby Smithfield St. Bridge into downtown Pittsburgh for additional shopping and sightseeing.
That being said, the hotel is not inexpensive. Search for online specials and promotions and ask about AAA or AARP card discounts!

| Sheraton Station Square Hotel Pittsburgh: Down by the riverboats, across from the city
| |

Although I didn't stay at this hotel, I was there for a conference and had the chance to look around. This is a mid-to-upper range hotel, close to the riverboats and the tram, as well as providing a wonderful cross-river view of the entire downtown.
I had their buffet lunch in their restaurant, the Pittsburgh Heat, which had a flat-price of $10 for pasta and salad. The service was fair, as was the food. The bonuses were that it was close to the conference center and no waiting for the food to be served. But for a place of spaghetti and salad, the meal was more than I usually pay for lunch. If you've got the time and inclination, you may be well-advised to travel for your meals.
The biggest downside is that there is not much else around this hotel, which means traveling (mostly by car) to somewhere else. There is no free parking, so expect to pay. I parked in the non-hotel lot and saved money over what the hotel wanted. Highly recommended if you plan on touring by bus, tram, or boat.
It has a nice indoor pool and a large conference center which was well designed. There's plenty of room for almost any size event, with well-planned facilities. They have an atrium-style 3-story lobby which included a sports-bar and restaurant looking out to the river and city. The parking garage across the street has a covered walkway and easy access for conference-goers and hotel guests (for a price).
