The rooms were clean and each overlooks the Elizabeth River towards Norfolk's waterside which was beautiful at night. The restaurant food was delicious and all staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel isn't in an area where there weren't any undesirable folks hanging around si it felt very safe to walk around at night.

Room was clean & comfortable. The food in the restaurant at dinner was delicious and the breakfast buffet was as well. The view from all rooms was absolutely beautiful, overlooking the Elizabeth River and the hotels on the water in Norfolk. At night they're all lit with neon lights and look magical.

Everything was great! I hardly say that about a hotel but out stay was perfect. We even enjoyed the hotel food and our waitress April was the perfect addition. I couldn’t leave without giving her a hug. We will definitely be back.

Dear Renaissance Hotel Team, I recently stayed at your property to celebrate my birthday weekend, and overall, my experience was very pleasant. I truly appreciated that everything I needed was right on the grounds—there was no reason to leave unless I chose to. My room offered a beautiful view, and watching both the sunrise and sunset was absolutely stunning. I also appreciated the clear communication and directions during the fire alarm; it made me feel safe and cared for. There were a couple of hiccups during my stay. A loud noise coming from the bathroom startled us out of our sleep, and we couldn’t determine what it was. Additionally, there was no microwave in the room, and I noticed that some areas felt a bit dated with a few items showing wear. Despite those small issues, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made a lasting impression. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable, making it a lovely way to spend my birthday weekend. Thank you again for your hospitality. Warm regards, Mona Longs

Great location and views of the river. But the room was located above the large air conditioning units which made our room very noisy while trying to sleep

Nice hotel

Very nice hotel, good location with fantastic views, boat connection to Norfolk downtown. Breakfast was very American, so not the best for European. Missing veggies, ham, bad coffee... Cleaning in the room could be better, floors were not clean.
