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

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

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

Very nice hotel close to many attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable rooms Parking is tricky, either valet parking, parking garage with no in/out privileges make friends with valet attendants (best bet) or off street parking which can be blocks away. Nice indoor pool for those days you cant make it to beach. Waterfront room have beautiful sunrise and... More

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

I came to this hotel for a conference. Paid a high price for a room. When it was time for bed, I pulled down the covers and was HORRIFIED that the sheets were dirty !! I even found paper in the sheets from a previous guest!!!!! I asked for the sheets to be cleaned and when housekeeping came she said,... More

Place is OK but needs a little work...especially in the plumbing dept. My toilet leaked on to the bathroom floor my first night. Staff was helpful and allowed me to change my room the next day. The food at the restaurant inside the hotel was very good. I recommend the Filet...very good. Portion was kinda small and it is pricey... More

This is the second time I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth. It is right on the water across from the Navy Shipyard, with a good view of the ships they are working on, and right across the water from the Waterfront in Norfolk. Don't want to drive to the Norfolk waterfront, no problem, the water taxi ferry is... More
