Despite the many hotel options within the city of Pittsburgh, some people ultimately prefer to stay outside of the busy, metropolitan areas. Accommodations in the South Hills of Pittsburgh can place travelers a short distance from areas like Carnegie, Dormont and Mt. Lebanon---the South Hills are much calmer than the city itself, yet still convenient for those who wish to commute into downtown, Oakland or any of Pittsburgh's most popular destinations.
Located off Route 51 in Pleasant Hills, the simple, budget-friendly South Hills Motel is eight miles from downtown Pittsburgh and only half an hour from the Pittsburgh International Airport, making it a convenient stopover for travelers flying in or out. It's also only eight miles from Kennywood Amusement Park, featured in the 2009 film, "Adventureland."
Rooms at the motel include flat-screen televisions, microwaves, air conditioning and high-speed Internet. Guests also can make reservations online.
