Cheap Rooms in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

As in most big cities, finding cheap hotel and motel rooms in Pittsburgh poses a challenge. Rooms near the airport generally are cheaper than rooms in the heart of downtown. Booking a room in advance, perhaps by a month or more if possible, generally gives you access to a hotel's cheaper rates and special deals. It also gives you time to shop around for the best rates, which may vary depending on the day of the week or time of year.
