The Renaissance Philadelphia has so much potential, but needs some more attention from parent company, Marriot. The positives…great location by Independence Hall and Olde City; and large spacious rooms. Unfortunately that’s where the positives end. The hotel strangely feels like it’s abandoned, the energy feels off. The lobby/bar/restaurant space is so large and impressive, but again doesn’t live up to potential. There is a lack of hotel personnel and no one seems happy to work there. Maybe some lovely music would create better energy and more buzz. The night I was there, they had a singer performing but no one was there to watch. I think some more Marketing and PR would be beneficial. The hotel was fine, but could just be so much more with a little TLC. This review is not about bashing The Renaissance, just a recommendation that a little revamp would go a long way!

Location is what this property has going for it. Staff were not really friendly. Problem finding reservation then had to produce documents from Expedia to prove it. Front desk girl was not helpful. Bed was a little softer than a park bench. I would have bailed if not for the location for walking.

Lovely bar, lobby, entrance, restaurant and great staff. The cons are in the room itself where the furniture is old and worn and the finishes are a bit sloppy. It's extremely clean though and convenient and everything works perfectly just needs some new furniture, paint, and generally tighter construction finishes,

Total lack of service
The room was to have two beds for two gentlemen to share. The room only had one bed which was not appropriate. The reservation staff did not try to resolve the problem. They said there was no two bed room available for the entire stay yet I could go on line direct and book a 2 bed room for IN: 31st May OUT: 3 June. Our clients are part of our VIP list and the service was NOT acceptable. We will not be using this hotel again in the future.

Property was pretty expensive, especially what wasn't included in the price - Wi-Fi being one of them. Staff were friendly, but didn't go over the basic details about the property like where you can find the gym, how to access Wi-Fi, etc. Rooms are very dimly lit, and there is no main light switch, which is very inconvenient. You have to manually turn on every light you want to use. My room smelled like mothballs. I tried to ignore the smell, but when the tub in my bathroom wouldn't drain, that's when I felt compelled to say something. They kindly switched me to a new room that smelled a bit better and for the inconvenience they gave me a drink and breakfast voucher. The surrounding area was fine - things close earlier than I am used to coming from NY. For the price, i wouldnt recommend
