    helpful staff
    great location

    Perfect for a low-key vacation

    My stay was solid, first off, the staff was fantastic, especially this guy Jamal. He helped me fix the AC in a flash, like, real quick. And the location? Just unbeatable, walking distance from everything I wanted to see.

    Now, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but it was fair enough.

    Impressive customer service, unique decor throughout the hotel, spectacular park views

    Check-in process felt unnecessarily complicated and frustrating!!! Noise levels from the hallways disrupted our peace too often, and parking arrangements could have been clearer. Some room features could definitely use better design.

    fitness center
    unique decor
    limited storage

    The fitness center offers a solid range of equipment, keeping workouts effective and enjoyable. The unique decor throughout the hotel gives an interesting vibe, reflecting local culture and history in a cool way.

    The room I stayed in had a hard bed that was less than comfy, making it tough to get a good night's sleep on the first night. Insufficient storage options meant I had to live out of my suitcase, and the desk chair definitely looked like it had seen better days. Also, the lack of drawers and shelves felt frustrating for the length of my stay, as I had to navigate around way too much luggage. Dining options nearby were limited, which made me wish for more variety beyond the hotel’s offerings, and my experience at breakfast left much to be desired.

    stylish decor
    phenomenal service
    great bar ambiance
    average food quality

    I recently enjoyed a 6-night stay with my partner and loved the stylish decor with an incredible ambiance in the lobby and the beautifully appointed king room. The service was phenomenal, and I was really impressed by the promptness of the staff when we had an issue with our AC. While the food was just average, the bar had a great vibe. I would absolutely come back!

    spacious room
    early check-in
    cozy leisure room
    room service quality

    We really enjoyed our stay, especially thanks to the spacious King Park View room and the early check-in that made everything easy. The indoor pool and cozy leisure room were perfect for unwinding after a long day. Just a heads-up, the room service wasn’t great for breakfast, so maybe grab a bite outside instead! 😊

    great view
    spacious room
    modern decor
    non-working air conditioning
    shower cleanliness

    The King Room had a great view and was spacious, which was nice. I appreciated the fridge for snacks too. The decor was modern and clean, but the air conditioning wasn’t working initially. They were quick to move me to another room when it didn’t get fixed, so that was a plus. However, the shower could have used a better clean. Overall, it had a comfy vibe but some details could be improved.

    Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown perfectly blends modern charm with historical significance. I relished the spacious, impeccably decorated rooms and the attentive service from the staff. The slight wait during breakfast didn't overshadow the delightful food options. A truly memorable stay in a vibrant area!
