Fantastic property! Bailey at the FD was a gem and was able to get me upgraded to a studio suite. Great bar, super chic building, well appointed rooms (albeit a bit of wear in my suite) Nespresso machines in every room with pods, huge plus! Looking forward to my next stay at the property soon.

Great hotel in the heart of Pitt. Spacious rooms and an affordable price. Close to everything. Only gripe was the restaurant in the hotel is to really kid friendly, but there are plenty of places to eat around the hotel. If you don’t valet, you can park in the garage across the street. You may run into an issue as you try to load your luggage outside the hotel as parking is limited. The attendant helped us figure out where to park the car while we loaded our luggage as we checked out (family of 4).

The staff is very friendly. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I had a corner suite which had plenty of room. Great air conditioning. Wi-Fi was very slow. Good location if you want to be near the medical campus. Definitely a four-star quality hotel. The restaurant on the top floor is very nice and so is the bar, both with a good drink selection and friendly bartenders.

We had our wedding at The Oaklander in October and we truly had the best experience from start to finish! We were wowed by Becky when touring, Lauren was incredible throughout the entire planning process as well as the day of the wedding, Caitlin made room block booking so easy, Charles and John helped the day run seamlessly. Truly the entire team at the hotel amazed us with their kindness, attention to detail, and ability to make the day happen. Our guests raved about the entire experience from location to the rooms to the food. We cannot recommend The Oaklander or their staff enough, truly so thankful for everyone!!

Have stayed here a few times and have enjoyed it each time. The rooms are modern and well appointed. The bed was comfortable but Marriott needs to get better pillows, it is through the whole brand of hotels.
