    We had a company retreat with close to 200 attendees and the staff at Renaissance was absolutely fantastic. They were responsive, they made sure we always had a contact on site at all times. They checked in with us multiple times each day to ensure they had everything ready for our events and meetings. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean, their onsite bar/ restaurant is actually pretty good and they have amazing coffee options. Food was presented well and looked appetizing. Again I have to reiterate how amazing the staff was! They went out of their way to make sure our event went well and provided everything we needed. If you're having an event or need a large meeting space or even if you just need a room, renaissance is absolutely worth it.

    Huge door to gym and pool.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Music downstairs by the restaurant area. It provided a vibrant feeling in the evening in the lobby / restaurant area. Beautiful textiles, finishes, and fixtures both in the lobby and in the rooms. Nice layout of the room we stayed in. Room felt nicely put together and clean. The one weird thing is that they screwed on the toilet seat/lid crooked... Gym was nicely equipped but had some pieces of broken equipment. The hotel is pretty quiet for the amount of people staying there and we heard some noises from neighbors but it wasn't for an extended period of time. Parking seems to be a bit far from the main entry and we didn't bother to take the time to figure out a different way around.

    Beautifully appointed hotel with large conference rooms and spacious gathering areas. I love the outdoor area near the pond. Great food for hotel food and service was outstanding. I did not stay here, but my colleagues said the rooms were wonderful.

    Hubby and stayed here 1 night. It was wonderful! The staff was super friendly the room was clean the bed was comfy. The lobby of the hotel was nice, I loved the nautical theme. Overall we are looking forward to staying again.

    PROS: Customer service was really nice and friendly. We asked for more towels and an extra blanket and received it in less than 15 minutes. We asked the bar/restaurant for plastic silverware for our food we brought in and they were nice about it. Shower was large enough for 2 people. CONS: The bed was AWFUL. For staying in a hotel and sleeping in the bed for 8 hours I would expect comfortable beds, nice sheets and pillows. The bed sat on a platform and I would have had more comfort bringing an air mattress and sleeping on the floor. The sheets were torn and the pillows were squishy and flat. The shower handle was broken and had fallen off. We brought it to the attention of the front desk and we're told they would fix it while we were out at dinner, but it was never fixed. Didn't try out or even see the pool or gym, so no review there.

    A new hotel featuring 222 rooms. The Renaissance Hotel Westerville draws its theme from a high-end boathouse, and gives very much a lakehouse feel. It's close to I-71, but far enough away to feel comfortable. It's set back from Polaris Parkway to be quiet in theory. Only the room's air vent was nonstop and the guests from other rooms could be heard inside. The staff went out of their way to be friendly which is tough to do during a pandemic. Check in had large shields at the front desk and the associate tried as much as possible to be no touch. This was a real sticking point because I wanted to use the wireless key system and avoid checking in in-person but there was a problem with the credit card and no way to alert the guest. So I was forced to go to the front desk. The front desk will also reserve pool times at check-in if you choose to use the pool. Biggest disappointment was lack of an upgrade offered despite the hotel being at 40% occupancy for an elite member. Elites also lose out on the lounge being closed due to pandemic. The guest room was generally clean, but a personal deep clean found stains on the bathroom wall, some sort of snot stuck to the bedroom ceiling and the back of the couch had been untouched for weeks with dirt and crumbs. Bedside the nightstand desks have this thin ridge that isn't cleaned and I had to take a Q-tip to them. Overall though it was generally clean and the fact that it's laminate flooring and not carpet was a real plus in my booking efforts. Light sleepers beware the mini fridge was loud and the curtains didn't block out all light. The curtains somehow managed to leak light from the bottom that would reflect off the laminate flooring. I felt the hotel was really stingy with bathroom towels, giving guests only 3 in a king bedroom. Next time, I'm just traveling my own. Didn't really explore the public areas as I was trying to avoid people, but from my room I could see two fire pits which added to the lakehouse feel. Only big negative was found out by accident when we brought carry out food in then realized the guest room desk only has seating for one.

    We really enjoyed our stay here for the weekend. They have a very friendly and helpful staff. We checked in with Micah and he really made our stay. We have family in town and can't wait to return to stay and enjoy this beautiful Marriott property. It is close to many things to do and in a newer section Of town. There is a beautiful outdoor area with a fire-pit and multiple seating areas and corn hole games. The large lake has a walking path that we enjoyed after using their well equipped gym. We ate at the bar the first night and the bartender, Olivia, was spot on and made excellent drinks and suggested wonderful menu items. We had breakfast in the restaurant this morning and the menu offered some unique items. I had a delicious Lobster Benedict and my husband had a western omelet. They have cold brew and Nitro brew coffee in addition to some other Barista creations. We enjoyed our first evening a t the hotel restaurant and bar so much that our family is joining us here for dinner and to watch the NHL Hockey playoff game. Marriott has hit a home run with this location in Westerville, Ohio.

The guest room was clean and the bed was comfortable which is the most important part in my opinion. The hotel is definitely dated in decor. It still has popcorn ceilings and dated wallpaper throughout. It reminded me of the times I used to go to my grandma's house. The breakfast buffet was fresh and good but also very basic. The scrambled eggs, patty sausage and hard booked eggs were the staple proteins. There was a waffle station, oatmeal pot and a small assortment of toaster breakfast breads for the carbohydrates. Nothing fancy but all available at a proper temperature and easily to serve yourself. They offered sanitizer at the buffet as well as plastic gloves for handling the service ware. All plates and utensils were disposable too.

Jarrod at the front desk always had a friendly attitude and greeted us with a smile. The complimentary water and cookies at the front desk were very appreciated. The breakfast was from 6am to 10am seven days a week which was very convenient. They changed up the hot eggs and meat options each day which was also appreciated. I like the Greek yogurt they offered as well as many other different types of yogurt. The dining area has nice tall ceilings and they keep it clean, wiping tables down quickly. The coffee which had both bold and regular flavors was excellent. Complimentary USA Today and Wall Street Journal was also there each day. They offer a nice fitness room and pool. However, I suggest they keep the fitness room open 24 hours instead of closing it. The room TV was a little small but had lots of good variety such as multiple HBO and multiple ESPN channels. There's washer and dryers ($2 each) for you to use which is a nice plus for longer stays. This hotel is in an excellent location near I71 and Polaris Parkway--tons of bar, restaurant, and shopping options nearby.

As soon as we found out, my wife called and was told that it was no problem, that there is a waiting list, and once it is cancelled, we would get a refund. We would be charged a $35 fee, though. Having not yet received a confirmation email, my wife called again, asking about the refund. And she talked to a very rude person who said we were not getting a refund because it included a holiday. Also snapped "it is clearly written in the confirmation" several times and completely ignored the question of someone previously giving us false information. The excuse was "I am a small business and need to survive"... but rings very hollow because there is no doubt it was re-rented, in fact, she is double dipping and making twice the money. Nice little racket, if you ask me. While I did miss the holiday clause in the confirmation (which was made 35 days before the arrival date, so not much time to cancel), the fact that we were told we were getting a refund is a huge problem. If we were told the truth, we would have made arrangements to at least partially attend. And if this is the way they treat customers, I am wondering if I didn't dodge a bullet by not going. Needless to say, I will never patronize this business.
