“"Luxery hotel in a great location"”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Stopped on our way home from a 2 week trip to Florida. This has to be one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in. The lobby décor was stunning, the room, spacious, clean, and comfy, and the view overlooking the harbor, outstanding. We also enjoyed the short ferry ride across the harbor, to Norfolk. On our way out in... More

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!”

After a long drive towing a trailer from North Carolina, my wife and I were greeted at the Renaissance with friendly smiles and personable service by the bell captains. The front desk staff were also very friendly and got us to our room quickly. And what a room that was! The view was phenomenal. At night the Norfork skyline was... More

We almost always stay at Renaissances if they are an option for our business travels. We would have to say the Renaissance in Portsmouth is one of our all-time favorites! We were greeted by a welcoming staff in the lobby. Afterwards, we went to the restaurant bar for a cocktail and appetizer after a long day of traveling. Drinks were... More

“Great View of Norfolk and Shipyard”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We enjoyed this hotel for many reasons and one of them being the title of this post, the view. They have an excellent piece of real estate for being able to not only see the skyline of Norfolk but also the ships being worked on by the Navy. The hotel itself was very nice, friendly staff and great bar/restaurant. The... More

Dear Wolfpacker34, I have to agree with you about the view, between the ships at the yard and boats moving along the river you can stay entertained during the course of your stay. We do have a great staff and we are one of the great secrets of Portsmouth. Thank you for your positive feedback. Come back soon! Chris Johnson... More

“Nice hotel but lousy service”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

We stayed there one night recently and were put off by the awful service. While checking in I asked to talk to the concierge and was advised one was available on the 10th floor for elite customers, but not for other guests. What? When I asked for a recommendation for a restaurant she said there was only one that was... More

Dear jmeyer27, I apologize for your experience at the Renaissance. As a guest, service is one of the most important aspects of your stay. Our staff is trained on what the local area has to offer as well as maps of downtown to help you navigate your way around our neighborhood. I have to say that I am embarrassed about... More

“Everything is Extra”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

Upon driving up, there was no help, in spite of it being the prime arrival time for a conference I was attending. One bellman did show up, but had trouble finding a luggage cart. After we loaded the cart, he didn't offer to help with it. I can see why. You walk down a very long hallway to get to... More

Dear hornbender, I apologize for the poor service you received by our bellman. I will review the comments with that department and come up with a plan for the next conference so someone else doesn’t have the same experience. I know when traveling and things don’t go as planned it is frustrating. I will take your comments in front of... More
