Looking to plan a special weekend later this spring and looking for hotels in the region that have rooms with large in room whirlpool tubs or hot tub. We know of one in Monroeville, Comfort Suites on Mosside Blvd, but it's a little outside our preferred area (North/West/City Center) and not many restaurants in the area we're excited about.
Anyone know any others?
Think about why you may want to get a room with a hot tub. Then think about why everyone else before you may have wanted one. Now think about how much you trust someone to clean said hot tub before you get there.
If I were you, I'd probably bring a gallon of bleach with me.
Behold, the Fort Pitt Motel. Pittsburgh’s Pocono Touch. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm always amazed that 1) it's still in business, 2) it seems very popular with truckers, and 3) it's a popular movie set.
Hold up - is this the hot tub room in dumb and dumber?!
A quick search says that was filmed in Utah. But heart shaped tubs were once quite popular in kitchy motels. There's a really cool YouTube channel called "A Pretty Cool Hotel Tour" that chronicles these "fantasy" suites.
It's so much better now than the 00's. I used to deliver pizza for the shop below the Ft. Pitt Inn (bar next door, different owners same name-ish). It used to be all wood paneling and the doors to the 2 "pocono touch" suites were the cheapest, lightest interior hollow-core doors - let's just say many times delivering there you could hear everything going on inside.
Now that they've had a bit of a renovation, I'd consider staying there actually. If it hasn't changed hands, the owners were super nice and friendly. And it's in a good neighborhood.
Ya the area itself is a good neighborhood, and I've never heard a bad word about the place. It always just struck me as a stereotypical sketchy roadside motel. I did see on Google Maps that the place has been updated, so they must be doing OK to afford that, and I'm glad to see a small business doing well.
What a website too 😅
I stayed there before. It’s pretty gross and very outdated.
Hotel Monaco has rooms that I believe are called spa suites. No hot tub, but they have massive Japanese soaking tubs. Big fan, have stayed there several times with my partner legit for the tub. I spend afternoons browsing the internet for 5,000 dollar soaking tubs. I am a changed man after the soaking tub.
Lmao same, after staying in one of the spa rooms at Hotel Monaco a Japanese soaking tub became one of my endgame/bucket list house goals.
Can confirm, that tub is awesome. Doing a staycation there shortly, mainly for the bath haha!
valley motel on freeport road has heart-shaped tubs! cheap and mildly sketchy, but in a fun way.
Got a room there years ago for a hot tub night with my wife (gf/fiance at the time). Got woke up at like 3 in the morning to pounding on the wall and a woman crying out. Thought holy shit some girl is getting killed in the room next door. Then it became a bang bang bang against the wall and the woman is screaming now. I realized it was the headboard of their bed hitting the wall and her screams were not the murdered kind..
I stayed here too. Way nicer that Fort Pitt motel and you are within walking distance to Zone 28 for your date night.
I think the Mcknight hotel has them
Generally don't see those type of amenities in city proper. Rooms are small; 2 person hot tubs are big.

Bonus point of trivia they filed part of My Bloody Valentine 3D there.
You’ll find it on a rental around town or in town but not a hotel at your preferred radius closest is comfort inn green tree Robinson. I’d vrbo.com a nice pad instead
Arby’s on McKnight Road.

It’s shocking to me how common this question is on this subreddit, I have never really considered it before it was mentioned here… anyways, the Fairmont is probably your best bet.
