*****Hampton Inn, Oakland - Remaining Pug’s best vote! This place has pretty much had all of our business each year. They handled the crowds well and the price is right $109/night which includes a deluxe continental breakfast, free parking and FREE Shuttle Service FROM THE AIRPORT and to all downtown locations. Did I mention free shuttle service from the airport? If you are interested in being picked up by the shuttle at the airport, you have to arrange it when you call for reservations. This Hotel is located in the heart of Oakland, near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon. It’s not in the nicest part of the City, but it’s near a lot of decent bars and restaurants. Availability is limited. 412-681-1000
