Easter weekend disappointment

Lack of staff on Easter weekend made our stay less than memorable. Bar staff was not sufficiently staffed. Upon arrival room was not what we had requested. Very loud hotel guests in the hallways late at night. Breakfast waitstaff could be better trained and show more alacrity at breakfast.

Easter weekend

Stayed here for Easter weekend, hotel seemed short staffed and very aloof....requested room with two double beds and was told it was available but upon arrival and check in I was told the room I had requested was not available....had one king bed with a roll bed sent to room. Went for breakfast in hotel restaurant and waited a while to be seated while waitstaff was playing and eating around the corner. Virtually no bar staff and outdoor seating for bar was a mess with dirty tables and used ashe trays and ashes on furniture... It took nearly 20 minutes to get three drinks...there were very loud guests on our floor until 4 am and nothing was done about it...for an Easter weekend getaway I gotta tell you for the price we were not impressed!

Beautiful Hotel

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful city! We loved the friendliness of the staff & cleanliness of the room. One of the best things about the hotel was location. We walked to everything....Battery Park, a boat tour to Ft Sumter, tour of the Calhoun mansion, horse & buggy tour & the farmers market in the park & countless restaurants. The hotel restaurant was also wonderful. Great breakfast! We would highly recommend the Renaissance Historic District Hotel

Lovely birthday weekend

The staff and amenities at this hotel were great. The staff was gracious and the location just fine for what we wanted--center of town. The room was comfortable.

Great location for shopping!

We loved everything about this hotel. We were so happy that it was right in the heart of the King Street shopping district. Could walk everywhere we needed to go. There is even a great salon across the street. We enjoyed the outdoor pool, as well.

Awesome Labor Day in Charleston

We travel extensively overseas but had never made it to South Carolina. Had a great trip. Excellent walking around city with all of the amenities. Wonderful bars. Stayed at Renaissance. Impecably maintained. Very helpful staff. The only downer was that we had booked a king room and they gave us a double. Told us that there was no King avaialble even though the reservation asked for a King. My wife and I have not slept in a double since college days. Also for whatever reason, the pool is surrounded by gravel, thus to walk to your chair you have to step over these painful pebbles. Dumb idea. In this day and and age I am sure they can come up with better surface. But overall I would highly recommend this hotel and the city.

Excellent Hotel

Room accomodations were excellent. Very clean and room was made up on time. Room service was also good, breakfast menu was very diverse and not overly expensive. Gym accomadations were well balanced and provided both cardio and strength conditioning. Service dask and concierge were all helpful throughout the stay.
