Lodging. The closest hotels are new boutique places in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of East Liberty. There are also a number of places aound the University of Pittsburgh, which is 15-20 minutes from the dojo. The cheaper places tend to be out on the edges of the city. Here's a selection of nearer spots:
Just down the street (0.9 miles):
10 Minutes or Less:
Courtyard by Marriot in Shadyside
Off of Route 28, and a little less expensive:
Universty of Pittsburgh/Oakland (15-20 minutes):

Staying in the dojo: People are welcome to sleep on the mat. We have changing rooms, nice bathrooms, and can offer showers upstairs in our house. Please let us know if you would like to do this, since we can only accomodate 5-10 people total.
