Mansions On Fifth has a stunning exterior and a charming lobby that truly captured my attention. However, the room I stayed in felt a bit worn down and didn’t reflect the hotel’s beautiful common areas. While my mattress was comfortable for a good night's sleep, the linens were disappointing and well past their prime, which affected my overall experience. The location is great, especially for visiting nearby attractions.

My stay at Mansions On Fifth was a mix of good experiences and a few disappointments. The historic charm and architectural details of the place took me back in time, and I truly enjoyed the comfortable king-size bed. However, the service felt a bit lacking, as the staff seemed understaffed and untrained at times. Overall, I'd say it's a beautiful spot with room for improvement.

I recently stayed at Mansions on Fifth for a trip to visit Carnegie Mellon University, and overall, it was a charming experience. The ambiance of the hotel had a rich historical feel, creating a unique atmosphere, though I found my presidential suite to be a bit tired and in need of some maintenance. The location was perfect for access to the university and local businesses, but the service sometimes fell short, particularly with room cleaning and parking logistics. I'd consider returning, though I'd prefer a room that felt fresher.
