I stayed at Hotel Renew over New Year’s and wanted to leave fair, constructive feedback.
Check-in and check-out were handled professionally. Staff even brought Christmas cookies to the room, which was a thoughtful gesture, though I had just arrived from a long flight and was asleep when they knocked.
The room was clean and everything worked properly. The property feels older but not dirty. Bedding and the shower were clean and comfortable, and I slept well. The AC is an older motel-style unit but was strong, easy to adjust, and kept the room comfortable.
The TV setup was excellent and easy to connect devices. Power outlets were well placed, and the room was spacious. Internet speeds were around 40 Mbps and usable, but the connection would disconnect and require logging back in, including a survey and text message, which is inconvenient—especially late at night if you are downloading, it could cause issues.
Privacy may be an issue for some guests. The windows use wooden sliding blinds rather than curtains, and even when closed they leave a gap, so the room never gets fully dark.
The main drawback was daytime hallway noise from staff activity. Because the doors are thin, conversations right outside the room carried clearly inside. Being more mindful of noise in guest hallways would help.
The desk chair was also uncomfortable for working.
Overall, for the price—especially over New Year’s—it was a good value. I hope management found this helpful, I did enjoy my stay.
