Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel Conference Center Hotel - Page 1

We were told that dinner was served one hour later than it actually was so we had to scramble to find food in Portsmouth because we waited to eat until after our convention thinking we had plenty of time.

This was a very clean hotel. I mean, I went into another room to find the house keeper and she was cleaning the draw tracks!

The hotel food was actually quite good.

The conciege lounge was nice, but did not have the food spread that you expect of a catagory 4 hotel.

A pet peeve of mine is the front desk not answering the phone. I have to say there were times I called and had to call back later. I would stay again.

This hotel had a decent restaurant. It could have had a more comprehensive menu, but the food was good. It had great views on the river side. Most of the local attractions were across the river, which involved going through a tunnel and over a bridge. It made it difficult to get around. Aside from the location, the hotel was really nice. One word of warning, they overcharged for parking, ten dollars a day for parking in a detached garage, and no rear entrance to the hotel, meaning a long walk from the garage to the entrance, and back to the elevators to the rooms.

It was roomy, clean, and very affordable. The location, however, was rather uninspiring. I would recommend staying across the bay in Norfolk for entertainment, and access to other leisure activities such as restaurants and bars.

This hotel made me feel extravagent: I was staying in a pricey hotel for a very low price, thanks to an employee discount.

The engineering staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with an issue that was completely unrelated to their job. I asked them a question and they took it upon themselves to help me get an answer and see it through to resolution. They were very helpful and thoughtful! The valet staff was also exceptionally friendly and considerate! The hotel has a great location for walking around a small cozy downtown area and it has a nice view of the water from the rooms.
