I read the other reviews in Trip Advisor and wonder what they were looking at regarding the staff and service provided. I found EVERYONE at the hotel attentive and friendly. Even with a football team arriving for the last night of our conference, the staff did not skip a beat. They did EVERYTHING possible to make our conference successful. They... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel. Our room was located on the 14th floor and had a gorgeous view of the river and downtown area. It was modern and clean; all around a fantastic hotel. We would definitely stay there again! more

The Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel is a very good value for a weekend getaway. The rooms in the hotel face the water, have very comfortable beds with lovely comforters and are of generous size. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful with good dining suggestions and information on area attractions. The weekend rates are very reasonable for a quality room. more

I didn't realize in all my stays in the Hamptons Roads, there was a good side to Portsmouth. Nice surprise! Beautiful building and amazing lobby...rooms were nicely done as well. Swimming pool and jacuzzi on the 3rd floor with outdoor balcony that viewed the night skyline was a treat. Situated in Historic Portsmouth with quaint restaurants and views of the... more

I stayed for three days at this hotel. My company had me stay there. I arrived on a Monday afternoon. Hotel is tucked into a small area, but upon entering it appeared very nice. I checked in and recieved my room keys and was told of the parking garage which is shared by the hotel and other paying individuals who... more

I stayed here for a conference and the facilties were amazing. The staff was particularly helpful with many requests. The hotel is easy walking distance to the downtown/oldtown area of Portsmouth with many excellent restaurants (my favorites are Cafe Europa and Still). This is a good alternative to Norfolk which is just a fun water ferry ($1) away. more

You're right! The Elizabeth River Ferry is a perfect way to see Norfolk and historic Portsmouth. If you're planning another trip to Portsmouth, please let us know! Thanks

Booked this over the Marriott website very easy. Arrival was a wee bit hairy coming through the Norfolk tunnel, but once you turn into old town Portsmouth it's like going back in time. Arrival was fine pulled up out front and the Valet wants to hold your keys while you check in..... do NOT like that at all. after I... more

I booked this hotel for 2 nights off priceline for a birthday weekend. Sara Evans was playing a free concert at the Little Creek NAB and my sis in law and I went to see her. This hotel was about 14 miles away from the NAB but traffic was awful going through the tunnel. Took us over an hour extra... more
