I have just returned (June 9-11, 2008) from a two nite stay at this property and I vow not to return. I am a very frequent Marriott business traveller and I stay in Marriott properties almost exclusively. Apparently, the hotel air conditioning system is in need of upgrades. My room was so hot for 2 nites that I slept very... more

Check-in was the best ever! Khalil Rembert greated us with a smile and gave us water ice to enjoy while he was waiting for housekeeping to finish getting our room ready. We even received an upgrade! Although the room was a bit worn the rooms by us were being updated. Khalil made our stay the best! Thanks Khalil! more

Stayed on 6/5/08; Location is good, away from the bustle of Philly airport, but only a mile or so away; quiet. free parking. Good airport shuttle service. Lobby attractive, staff friendly. If Marriott rewards member, they'll have a personal letter in your room, and a free pretzel and pack of forget me not seeds. Room was large, clean. Restaurant way... more

Took a chance on this hotel based upon the recent reviews. It was quite nice. The room (9th floor) was in excellent shape, quiet and very clean. Upon check-in, received a Hanks Gourmet root beear and hot cookie. And the concierge level. Went there, but they were closing and cleaning. Nice woman let me have anything I wanted from the... more

Been to Philadelphia a lot over the past two years and stayed in a variety of hotels... uniformly they have been over-priced and the hospitality and cleanliness have been substandard. The Renaissance has been a pleasant surprise... for the first time I wasn't greeted by surly staff.. they were so helpful, pleasant, polite and welcoming! While there is a small... more

Stayed over two nights (4/18-4/20/08). Tried and got it on Priceline for $70/nt, after being unable to get a 4* hotel on PL in downtown Philly for less than twice that amount. (www.biddingfortravel.com has great tips and info for this). Upon asking, the front desk was very willing to upgrade us to Concierge level- but since the Concierge Club Lounge... more

We stayed for one night for the "park and fly" option and were excited to try a new hotel. Usually we stay at the Sheraton Suites and enjoy it there. We should not have changed. The positive is that our service there was really great. With that said, the room was very smelly, like mold and urine. Since we were... more

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was a little difficult to find. When you leave the hotel if you stay straight rather then turn, you will go right through the airport. The hotel was neat and clean. My kids used the pool and they were the only ones. They provide towels at the pool. There is a sundries shop... more

This hotel exceeded my expectations. The person at the front desk greeted us when we arrived and was very courteous and professional during the check-in process. They gave us 2 ice tea bottles and fresh pretzel as a welcoming snack. That was awesome!! Once at the room, it was totally clean and nicely decorated. There was a personalized letter in... more
