There may be "no such thing as a free lunch," but a free breakfast is a different story altogether. A first-rate hotel experience is usually defined by the accommodations and amenities confined to only the four walls of a guest room. Add a breakfast buffet that puts the term continental to shame and pretty soon the term favorite place to stay begins to take shape. For guest looking for a bit more than some pre-packaged danishes and stale coffee, the breakfasts offered at the places on this list have nothing in common with "continental." Here are the best hotels with free breakfast in Pittsburgh.

Priory
614 Pressley St.
Pittsburgh, PA 15212
(412) 231-3338

The Priory is a privately owned, boutique hotel that was originally built as Benedictine Monastery. In 2011, the hotel incorporated an additional wing to the existing building, effectively adding 17 new guest rooms. Considered by many to be a hidden gem right in the heart of Pittsburgh Northside, it's easily within walking distance of PNC Park and the Andy Warhol museum. Before heading out to see the sights, be sure to indulge in the premier free breakfast.

By giving customers more than what's expected in a major hotel, Hampton Inn has garnered international acclaim for providing first-rate rooms, services and amenities. It has been recognized once again by Trip Advisor with a 2014 Certificate of Excellence award and the quality and consistency of the Hampton's free hot breakfast is one of the many things that continues to bring accolades to the hotel chain.

Wyndham – University Center Pittsburgh
100 Lyton Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15213
(412) 682-6200

The Wyndham – University Center Pittsburgh is aptly named with no less than four universities located within walking distance of the hotel. Carnegie Mellon, The University of Pittsburgh, Carlow and Chatham Universities provide the ideally located Wyndham with a flow of constant visitors attracted by the activities and events associated with the nearby colleges. Now through the end of the year, the Wyndham is offering the Family Bed and Breakfast Package.

The Mansion at Maple Heights
5516 Maple Heights Road
Pittsburgh, PA 15232
(412) 586-7940
www.mansionmapleheights.com

Located in the posh Shadyside part of Pittsburgh, the Mansion at Maple Heights brings a sense of grandeur to the term "Bed and Breakfast." It's been voted by the online publication theknot.com as a best of award winner for the past two years. While it's a story book location to hold a wedding, it's important to note that the Mansion is limited to only five guest rooms so many guests will have to look elsewhere for a night's stay following the event.
