Amtrak drops me and my bicycle in downtown Pittsburgh at Midnight (hopefully). Where does one get shuteye till dawn (7AM)? Hike-bike campsites are free...but in Dravo.
Hotels in downtown start at $110

Have you looked on the North Shore (across the river from downtown) near PNC Park...the baseball stadium)? I don't know for sure but they might be slightly cheaper than downtown. And it's a simple bridge crossing to get back to Point State Park. Worth a shot. Unfortunately, there's no super cheap lodging anywhere near downtown that I know of.

Google found the Priory Hotel on the North Side, 1.1 mile bike ride from the Amtrak station. According to Google, a room is $90.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Southside on the 10th Street Bridge a week ago...both at the front end and back end of my trip. Not the cheapest (125-130) but I loved the location.

Free shuttle to PNC Park the night before I left on Amtrak to see a Pirates game.

East ride (less than 2 miles) through the dark streets of Pittsburgh at about 430 in the morning to catch the 520 train.

Easy to negotiate back to the hotel when I completed the ride a few days later.

I also paid them ($14/night) to leave my car in their gated lot.

I realize the price might be a challenge...but thought I would offer the idea.

BEST WISHES!!

would it be worth it to call Uber to take you where you want? I know a friend that is an uber driver & also has bike racks.
