I was very disappointed with my stay at the Renaissance Marina Hotel. Based on the price point, I expected a much higher level of hospitality, comfort, communication, and overall service.
The staff overall did not come across as warm or welcoming, and there was a noticeable lack of hospitality throughout my stay. The room I stayed in also felt musty, which made the stay less comfortable than expected.
In addition, there was scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, July 1, which significantly impacted the guest experience. Per the guest information notice, the work was expected to begin at 9:00am and last approximately 12 hours. During this time, air conditioning and hot water were temporarily unavailable in the guest rooms, with only limited electrical access available. In my experience, full electricity did not come back until approximately 9:57pm.
Given the impact this had on the stay, I asked whether there would be any credit or compensation, and I was told there would be none. This was very disappointing, especially considering the cost of the hotel and the level of service expected at this price point.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend this hotel. For the price, the experience was not worth it.
The only highlights were Kim, who was helpful in providing suggestions, and Cesar, who was very sympathetic on my last day and took the time to listen to my disappointment regarding the customer service at the hotel. I appreciated their kindness.
