My new wife and I needed to stay at the hotel for one night because we had an early flight the next morning. We took the train down to the airport. We phoned for a shuttle and they picked us up in a reasonable amount of time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by some terrific people at the front desk. While checking in the gentleman asked what the occasion was. When I told him we were on our honeymoon, he upgraded our room. He was even kind enough to grant us access to the conseirge room. I was extremely pleased by all of this. They did give us a Polish water ice as well as soft pretzels in the room. The upgraded room did have a seperate room with a large table and chairs for perhaps a meeting, and the bedroom was large and included a small couch.
Once settled, we took a small walk around the property and ventured into the bar. While the bar is nothing that special, it was clean had a flat screen tv. Most people in there were ordering burgers and other bar food as well as drinks. The fine dining restaurant was next door but we did not want to spend the money nor did we want to get dressed up for it.
We did head up to the Conseirge room. Once you enter, you sign in. There is some tables, chairs, as well as a couch. There is a small staff keeping the fridge stocked with free soft drinks, water, snacks, and some small buffet items. By no means was this an all you can eat bar, but it did the trick. They had some warm finger foods and desserts. There was a wonderful woman who was in charge of the room and kept things running smoothly. She was very personable and plesant. She was very familiar with the "regulars" as she knew their names etc. I imagine that would make a traveller feel more at home. She promptly introduced her to us. What a great person. While there, you can drink wine and beer but it is billed to your room. No biggie. There is a TV to zone out to or you can look out the window and watch the planes lift off from PHL.
We eventually returned to the room for the night. The bed was set up well and was comfortable. It was not the most comfortalble bed I was ever in but it was good. We left at 5am and checked out. Check out was smooth. We then took a shuttle to the airport. I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN! People do make the difference and the Renaissance is doing a great job managing that and making it happen.
