Great view from our room on the 14th floor. Well-appointed hotel with clean, comfortable accommodations. Fitness Center and pool were decent. Public areas are very nice
I travel often and choose Marriott hotels whenever I can as I usually receive very good service and top drawer accommodations. It was very disappointing to find this hotel lacking in so many respects. I was unable to connect to the internet in my room and when I asked for assistance, I was given a toll free number to call that immediately put me ...
If you are planning on having an event at this hotel, by all means AVOID it. The so called "event planners" are pretty much out there to rip all the money you have by adding charges that you didn't even know about. I had to call these people for their own business to set up my event and its always the same answer i got "oooo i ...
I was really excited to stay at this hotel and when me and my husband got there I was surprised. It is very nice when you walk in. Parking is 10 dollars a day in the parking garage so that was the first problem for me. Then customer service was so slow upon check in. Got to the room and I was like WTF.... Tub was dirty, no microwave or fridge ...

We would definitely stay again.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/02/07
Our room was impecccably clean and well furnished. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. There was a huge party on the 1st and 2nd floors but we never heard a peep. I can't remember when I've had such quick room service in a big hotel anywhere.
On our 3 day visit to spend time with our son who is attending ODU we decided to stay on the waterfront for a change. Our son scoped out the area for us and suggested we try the Renaissance. It was a little steep for our pocketbook but we thought we would splurge. Our room, with AAA discount, was 180 a night plus taxes,+ a 10 dollar a day charge ...

Never Again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/19/07
I along a with another colleague stayed at the hotel for a 3 day conference. We made reservations well in advance. We had requested a double room. On our copy of the reservation we had been guaranteed a double room. When we arrived on the 7th, we were told we were getting a room with one king size bed and there was nothing that could be done. I had ...

Great view of Elizabeth River, dry docks and Norfolk waterfront
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/08/06
The location of this hotel is great if you do not need to travel back and forth to Norfolk (the tunnel can be quite slow during rush hours).
The entrance to the hotel is a long way from the lobby and then to get to the rooms, another long walk through the main lobby to get to the elevators. Can be troublesome with luggage. Also, the parking ...
I have a similar problem as another reviewer with this hotel and their billing policies. I have yet to see my money back and the customer service that I have received in trying to resolve the matter was horrific. It is a nice hotel and it was close to the concert we were going to see but I will never stay again. If they want to keep customers they will need to learn how to treat them.
