Renasiisance Washington D.C Hotel
From the moment I arrives at the Renaissance Hotel in D.C. the customer service was great. Staff very nice, my room was clean and modern. Love my bed very comfortable and cozy. The lobby is ultra hip and classy. Cool music was an added plus.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR HASSLE!
The hotel has a nice location, however, the restaurant is very over priced. There should be a 24 hour store that sells little conveniences. I was told three times that I could get a room with refrigerator, however, when I arrived all of the rooms with refrigerator's were occupied. Then, after complaining to the front desk manager a refrigerator room "appeared." I was also told that I could order a fridge for my room, but was told none were available. The Room was very small for the price. The bed was not comfortable and there were not enough outlets. The bathroom was like a closet, no space. The room's closet was ridiculous. The bar for clothes did not go from left to right, but from front to back. I was staying with someone so all of our clothes were crushed together. This was one of the stupidest things that I have seen in a room. I have stayed at all type of hotels, but this closet space was ridiculous. I would never stay at this hotel again. I will stay at the Embassy Suites next time and get the manager's reception and the free breakfast. A lot better value.

Great trip and great location!
This was our first time in DC and we had a great time! The hotel was in the perfect location. Easy walk to all of the main attractions. The room was very clean and the staff was extremely helpful. The only downside was that our tv stopped working for one night, but the hotel was able to accommodate us. Additionally, the breakfast buffet was a bit over priced for $15 a person. Other than that, this was a great hotel in the perfect location!

Great weekend in DC
The hotel is convenient to museums, restaurants and public transportation. The staff is courteous. The room and the hotel itself was immaculate. There is a Starbucks in the lobby, however it closes at 6 PM. The hotel should have coffee & hot water available 24 hours a day. The coffee maker in the room was not tasty at all. I missed the free breakfast which the Hampton Inn offers. I would stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to friends.
