Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel

The location of the hotel was perfect. The pool was warm and big enough for my two boys (9&11) to swim. There was no hot tub/sauna which was a downfall for me. They also do not have a microwave on-site that you can usewhich was tough because we wanted to bring our breakfast and eat it in the hotel instead of Going Out. Overall it was great and I would stay there again.

Perfect!

Pool was empty and under repair. That should be publicly announced and room rate discounted. Shower faucet was loose from the wall. No room service. No lobby market. This was just a very basic hotel that was painted to look nice.

Location is fabulous for the sites. It is a good hotel, nothing extravagant. Room was nice and had everything you need. Wish the dining options within the hotel was more varied. But again, location is fabulous.

Very convenient area, close to major attractions, dining, shopping. Very walkable to most areas. Staff were incredible. Hotel could use a good scrub. My main complaint was the fact that I booked this specific hotel for the indoor pool for our 9yr old. The pool was disgusting. Strange skim on the surface of the water and it was cold. So pool was a no go. Would I go back to this hotel, yes, if it was only me and my husband. Not a great hotel if you’re traveling with kids(we needed a rollaway bed and they never had one available) we made it work with the chase lounge and a bunch of extra bedding, but definitely wasn’t the plan. Plan to eat somewhere else than the restaurant in the hotel. No kids menu. The only thing we could find for her to eat was the lobster Mac n cheese-minus the lobster though we were still charged full price as if it had the lobster. I told my kid, I hope you enjoy your $25 Mac n cheese. Just some things to consider. It’s just not a kid friendly hotel, but you’d most likely be happy there with adults only.
