I liked that it was right downtown and near the water. The rooftop bar and restaurant were nice.
Check in was not a good system. I called ahead and receptionist said the room would be ready when we arrived. We got there and the room was not ready. That’s okay, we’re early. We sat in the lobby for 30 minutes. Then they said the card reader was down. We then waited an hour. Decided “maybe we will just come back”- I left the phone number with the front desk and asked them to call me back. We left for a few hours to enjoy downtown Toledo and hope that by 4pm we could check in. No one called me. We got to the hotel and the deductible was $200. The room was subpar and the parking was not great. The valet would let you park by the hotel for only a few minutes otherwise you’d be told to go to the parking structure across the street.
Wouldn’t go back.

For the price the room didn't even have a microwave. I had gotten a message that my room was upgraded and to go down and get the keys to our new room. When I got to the front desk the lady was very rude and said that I've already been upgraded and to ignore the text even though she never took my name or room number or anything to identify who I even was.
Well located on water front. Best hotel in town. Great views from 11th floor restaurant and bar Efficient valet parking.

Terrible service. Water for shower or tap in bathroom only scalding hot. Turns out the staff knew about it. Offered a small discount and then did not give it on the final bill. Called and called and did not get a response. Then they offered points on Bon Voy and of course that did not happen either.
Our stay at the Renaissance Toledo Hotel was very comfortable. My main concern was that although we had opted into daily housekeeping services, we didn't get it. We were at the hotel for 4 nights and only received service one time.
I would like to commend the staff of the Heights who gracefully fit us in (a party of 6) to the restaurant without a reservation on a busy night of graduations and other events. Well done!!

What a great gem on the river in Toledo. We will be back!
Very friendly staff! Xavier at the front desk was very welcoming and Chris from engineering was very helpful and friendly! We had delicious breakfasts at the Brim House and cocktails at The Heights roof top lounge. Great views of the city and river from the rooftop!

The hotel itself was good, and the location was very convenient. My low rating is largely due to the fact that there was no cold water in our room for our entire stay and the hotel made no attempt to find us a room with functioning water or try to make it right in any other way, despite us bringing the issue to their attention immediately.
Over-priced valet parking with no option for on-site self parking.
No basic courtesy by the check-out staff to ask how my stay was.
No cold water in the shower.
Minimal hot water flow in the bathroom sink.
Valet parking staff distracted by their cellphones rather than helping guests.
Overpriced watered down cocktails.
This hotel is a little worn as far as rooms go. Table in our room that seats 4 was dirty and never cleaned off. Crumbs all over it. The valet parking is worth the money and the guys were very prompt. Customer service at front desk day of check in was lacking. They do not give you any info about dining, amenities…. Missed opportunities for sure. The lady when I checked out was complete opposite. Very helpful and genuine. No remote to turn TV off in other room so left on since customer service was poor.
