"Hotel was nice and clean. Staff was friendly but, Homecoming kids and parents took over. Hundreds of kids taking pictures for hourswhich is not a big deal but we couldn't walk through the lobby, use the stairs and. They were blocking the parking lot, taking up all the parking spots. it almost seemed like the hotel would rather cater to them then their paying customers. I would stay there again if it was not homecoming weekend"

"We stayed at Renovo Hilton for a 55 class reunion and couldn't have asked for anything better except for the rainy weather. We were greeted with an early check in with excellence and guidance to our rooms and parking with ease. The breakfast served was everything you could ask for to start you day, and plenty of comfortable seating in the dining area. If you did not fill yourself it was a shame on you. We will look forward to out next stay which our room was located beside a relaxing pool/ hot tub and seating area. Ours room was daily checked on and spic and span. Thank you for our stay Renovoe staff. Kudos to you for caring."

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good."
