We had stayed previously at Hotel Renovo in 2018 and had a fantastic experience we chose them again. However our most recent experience was a complete let down. When we arrived, we were told that they were fully booked for the weekend and due to that we would not have room cleaning services as readily available. We had the option to opt out of cleaning services so we did as they told us if we needed anything (or if we changed our mind) we could always reach out to them. Our stay was for two nights so we didn’t think much of it. Then before heading to our room I had to agree to the terms of about 20 different things on a list, basically stating that our children could not leave the room without us, and that they would not be left unsupervised. We were totally fine with that because why would you leave your children alone somewhere when traveling. We went to our room, and when we arrived, the room appeared to have had a very quick clean done on it. There were spots all over the floor, including the carpet spots on the wall, and spots on the counters. I brought Clorox wipes, so I wiped up as much as I could as to not bother housekeeping. Then, we tried using remotes for our TVs and neither of them worked. We also asked for an additional pillow as we needed one more and the man that brought them to us seemed irritated that we were asking for items. That night we continued to have more issues such as plumbing and ants. I could go on but I am limited on characters.

Dear Mandy, I apologize your stay was not up to our standards and hope that we can do better for you in the future. We do offer house keeping by request only, not daily just due to short staffing. I also apologize your room wasn’t clean when you arrived. We will relay all of this to our team as this will be a teaching moment for our staff. We’d love to make this right if you could reach out to the hotel directly. Thank you. -Sabrina

Hotel Renovo is our favorite place to meet up with cousins. It’s halfway between our homes. We’ve stayed there 4 or 5 times and it’s always clean and quiet. 😊

This hotel is just beautiful! Everything is so clean. Upscale, modern yet rustic decor. A for the roomy shower and comfy bed! Also a DELICIOUS place to eat breakfast right next door if you don't want the in-house buffet.
