What People Are Saying About Sunnyledge Boutique Hotel

The Scene – With its dignified red brick facade, complete with turret, this building looks as if it belongs in the English countryside. It was built in 1866 for the founder of the Shadyside Hospital; artwork by his oldest daughter adorns the library walls. For visitors to nearby medical facilities, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, this makes a nice (and reasonably priced) alternative to the chains in the area. – – The Details – There are just eight bedrooms and suites whose decor boldly goes for an eclectic blending of patterns.

Can't Wait to Stay Again
by laciekay15
My husband and I stayed at Sunnyledge while picking up our daughter from CMU. We absolutely loved it. Not only is it only about four blocks from the University, but the Hotel itself is gorgeous. Our room was beautiful, spacious and very clean. The staff was friendly and eager to please. We had dinner Saturday night on the outside terrace and it was delightful. The food was amazing! Our daughter and her boyfriend met us for drinks after dinner and we ended up staying a half hour after closing time. The bartender was very kind, we didn't feel rushed at all. Overall one of the best experiences at a hotel. Thank goodness our daughter is only a sophomore at least 2 more years of wonderful stays!
- Pros: Atmoshere

Poor service and techno music made us leave
by PlasticSpoon
Day before Valentine's Day, my wife and I went to Sunnyledge, where I had reserved a table. Pulled up to valet park, no one showed up, so we parked nearby on the street. Though the visual aspect of the dining room was elegant, we noticed only two tables occupied on a Fri. night. The place looked nice; it's a Victorian building and a historical landmark to boot. The lighting was perfect and soft. Guess what though, in the foyer where the hostess eventually arrived, out of a shelf-top system they were playing techno music (yep, thump-thump-thump). Techno music is fine if you want a workout or you're at a nightclub, but at a fine dining establishment with Victorian flourishes? That's a thematic no-no. It's like putting cheese whiz on caviar. We were eventually seated and were told that a waiter would be with us shortly. 5 minutes went by, no server. Hostess brought waters, repeating that a waiter would be right with us. Ten minutes went by and there were only 2 other tables of people, so it's not like they were overwhelmed with the crowd size. After a few minutes more, we decided against giving the establishment our business and walked out. I have no idea what the food is like, but the service was poor enough to make us want to leave. You have to understand, too, that this was Valentine's weekend, so you'd expect to get an even higher level of service. Try at your own risk.
- Pros: Atmosphere
- Cons: Service lacking in several areas
