StayPGH is an independently owned Public Benefit Corporation hotel located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. Our mission is to make downtown Pittsburgh accessible to group and family travelers, particularly those from underserved and underrepresented communities. Founded by Zachary Patton, StayPGH stands apart with its affordable, fun, and convenient accommodations, designed to provide comfort, community, and ease at a reasonable price. With 50 private bedrooms and bathrooms across 25 spacious suites, StayPGH offers a flexible and inclusive lodging experience. The property is designed to cater to solo travelers, families, and those seeking affordable accommodations while enjoying the prime location in Pittsburgh’s vibrant downtown.
A Vision for Affordable, Tech-Driven Hospitality
StayPGH was created to address the need for affordable and convenient travel options in downtown Pittsburgh. As a Public Benefit Corporation, we are dedicated to keeping our rates low while maintaining high standards of fun and comfort for all of our guests. Our unique high-occupancy model ensures that we provide affordable stays year-round, allowing us to welcome a diverse group of travelers while also offering a critical resource for those in need.
Looking forward, we are developing Check-Mate, an innovative technology designed to let guests customize their check-in and check-out times. This system will allow guests more flexibility, especially those who work late-night shifts or have late arrivals and early departures. We’re also working on converting unused reservation time into points, which guests can use for extending their stay in future bookings. This technology will further support our goal of keeping stays convenient and affordable while enhancing the overall guest experience.
Supporting the Pittsburgh Community
At StayPGH, our commitment to the community extends beyond providing fun and affordable accommodations. We actively collaborate with local organizations, including Haven and Proud Haven, to ensure our hotel serves as a resource for those in need of temporary housing. By offering shelter to individuals facing homelessness or domestic challenges, StayPGH provides a safe and welcoming environment, staying true to our core values of inclusivity, affordability, and convenience.
Building Community Through Hospitality
StayPGH stands out by focusing on community-building through hospitality. Our living spaces encourage interaction and create opportunities for guests to connect, whether they’re solo travelers, group travelers, or families. By offering large spaces with kitchens and living rooms, we create a space where people can gather, share experiences, and feel a sense of belonging.
