We visited Portsmouth from our very nearby home city in order to attend the Bryan Adams/Foreigner concert and to celebrate my upcoming birthday. My DH chose the Renaissance because, frankly, there are limited accommodations available in Portsmouth and we are Marriott rewards members. The hotel is very attractive and inviting physically. The rooms are appointed nicely with upscale toiletries. It... more

We have stayed at this hotel previously. My husband travels to the area for business from time to time. The lobby is beautiful and the rooms are nicely furnished and comfortable. I found them to be very clean. We have stayed at many other hotel chains and found this property a little disappointing. They nickel and dime you to death... more

When my husband said he had booked us a hotel in Portsmouth, I was not overjoyed (having lived in the area 15 years ago- havent been back since). My jaw dropped when we took the Portsmouth Exit. The hotel is beautiful!! The view from our room was great and the bed was so comfortable I didnt want to get up.... more

I was able to get a deal for this hotel on Hotwire and paid half the rate, so i can't complain for what i paid. I don't think it is worth the full price. Its one of the few decent places to stay in Portsmouth if you won't consider a B&B. The room was clean, the bedding was good quality... more

The staff was very polite. There is a lot of history at this Hotel. Many, many pictures from the past... Showing the History involved with this location. I was disappointed that with a discounted Hotel stay you don't get any of the perks of regular paying Customers for Example: The Bath Robe, Fresh Cut Flowers in your room, etc. We... more

Dear Scared of Ghost, I sincerely apologize for the poor housekeeping and attention to detail of your guest room. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention and assure you that housekeeping has been dispatched to the room you occupied to complete a deep clean. Concerning the ghosts.... what can I say? Our hotel was built in 2001and to my...

Couldn't pick a better hotel. The rate was definitely the deal compared to the downtown hotels. Our housekeeper was great...she took it upon herself to check with us at the beginning of the stay to see when we wanted our room cleaned. The lounge is comfortable and inviting. Great drinks! The front desk offered to plan a local site seeing... more

It wasn't a horrible stay but they missed there mark on the supposed superior quality on quite a few instances. My fiance and I stayed there in conjuntion with my companie's holiday party, as we were preparing for the nights activities, I went to pull the ice bucket from out of the stand. Because it was full of water from... more

I think the hotel location is in a wonderful location. I have had the opportunity of staying there on several occasions. This time I ran into some difficulties when I was checking out. I was told that I had a balance due. I made my reservation in May 2007 and paid for the room early June 2007. I was told... more

The hotel staff went out of their way to make our stay very special..They put flowers and ballons in the room..They even gave us a box of snacks for our dog that the lady at the front desk heard barking when I called to confirm our reservations. We had a lovely room on the 15th floor over looking the Elizabeth... more
