Beautiful hotel! Bar staff is exceptional. Bre was our favorite. Hotel should keep pool towels downstairs as housekeeping could not deliver towels to the pool in a timely manner. Front desk advised there were 7 deliveries in front of the pool delivery for towels without a time frame on when they would arrive. Housekeeping will only provide fresh towels in room that are on the floor and does not make beds when you stay over however nothing in the room informs you of this. Hotel charges for parking however I was not informed until checkout.

Parking is inconvenient, its a long walk from the garage to the lobby, then even further to your room. Food is average. The bar service is mediocre. Overall, it is a beautiful place, but the service did not meet my expectations
That's a long walk from the reception area to the elevator, which only 1 of 3 works

Room was nice but we did not know there was no closet space and we were there for two nights. Room view we loved the most and slept very well in the bed. Breakfast was not worth the price--pancakes way too hard.

I paid for an accesible room they gave me the total opposite my daughter was to visit after a long drive and i had to cancel her becaus ethey did not pay attention to the details of my purchase the a.c did not work and the tv i had to do something special with the remote to turn the tv i have stayed here before it was enjoyable but this time it was awful truly considering never returning. My family is first and if they cant accommodate handicapped then its time to go elsewhere.

Our family stayed at the Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk this past weekend. The hotel was clean, and the rooms were very comfortable.
