Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square
Riverfront comfort by the Station Square docks
About this hotel
This riverfront hotel sits at Station Square, a drive from Sandcastle across the Monongahela, with the Gateway Clipper docks next door for a scenic river cruise if the trip has a spare afternoon. The indoor pool and fitness centre give a family a quiet place in the evening when the outdoor water park is closed, and the Sweet Sleeper beds are a genuine comfort after a full day standing on hot pavement at the park. Station Square itself has restaurants and entertainment options within walking distance, useful for a dinner that does not require another drive after a tiring Sandcastle afternoon. The property is entirely non-smoking throughout. Booking ahead is worth it during Pittsburgh's peak summer weeks, when rooms near either downtown or the water park fill quickly.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a riverfront setting with its own indoor pool and does not mind the drive across the river to Sandcastle each day. Station Square's restaurants make evenings easy without a car, a genuine plus after a long day at the park. Confirm the exact room configuration before booking if traveling with more than two children, since layouts vary within the same property.
- ✓Book a river-view room if the scenery matters; ask specifically, since not every room faces the water.
- ✓Try the Gateway Clipper cruise on a day away from Sandcastle for a change of pace.
- ✓Use the indoor pool in the evening rather than after breakfast, since Sandcastle's outdoor pools take priority earlier in the day.

Why guests love itStaying at Station Square puts a family right on the river, with restaurants and the Gateway Clipper docks within an easy walk, a good option for the evening after a Sandcastle day when nobody wants to drive again. The indoor pool covers a second swim if the outdoor park closes early, and the Sweet Sleeper beds make the crash after a long slides day noticeably more comfortable.
