This hotel is clean, great staff. Bar area was too lit for my and my girl to have a romantic pre-dinner drink. Was more like a cafeteria. There was a girl dance competition and the lady checking us in asked if we were part of it, when I said no, she moved us to a quiet floor which was so nice. Valet was great, left something in car and they ran and got it. Great evening.

The toilets are terrible, fine for a midget, but for a normal size person way to small, I don't think they are standard height. they are so small if you have bad knees good luck getting up. I have bad knees and was almost stuck there, it was a scary moment trying to stand. then watch out for taking a shower-if someone flushes you get a cold shower. the sheets on my bed had stains on it, but it was a clean room.

Beautiful, Clean Hotel, but Poor Management Cancel

Hotel was beautiful, immaculate, & clean. Room was very nice, clean, quiet, and nice amenities. Microwave was available by the ice machine. However, our I’ve machine on Floor 18 was not in service, and I had to keep going down to Floor 16, to get ice. Housekeeping came so late, at 4:35 pm, without notice, after our Family was just trying to settle back in our room, to eat a late lunch (after Volleyball Tournament play), so we had to grab all the hot food, and go downstairs to the lobby, so housekeeping could clean the room. The main glitch was the communication between Hotels.com & the Renaissance Hotel. Our Volleyball Club had a change in Tournament location earlier in the week, 10 minutes after I made the reservation. I called the hotel immediately, to try to cancel, but the hotel said that the cancellation had to be initiated by Hotels.com, with a cancellation confirmation number. I contacted Hotels.com immediately, and explained my situation. They said that the Renaissance Hotel had to approve the cancellation (so I was getting the “finger pointing” from both parties), and Hotels.com tried to contact the Renaissance Hotel daily for 3 consecutive days, but I was told there was “no response” from hotel management with the decision or approval of cancellation. (I prepaid the hotel stay for 2 nights, total $550 or so). Thus, I was stuck with this prepaid hotel booking, while the ENTIRE rest of the Volleyball Team stayed at a different hotel, attached to venue. Frustrating!

Had a pretty good stay definitely was a bit noisy The bathrooms could’ve been a little bit cleaner and taken care of toilet seat was loose when you went to sit on it . When the room was booked said breakfast fee went down to breakfast. They sat us told us where the food was and then gave us the bill (after we ate)for the price almost 50$for a breakfast buffet that was nowhere near worth it.

Hotel was in need of a refresh. Carpet was worn, ice makers didn’t work, pillows were dead and bed was lumpy. The room was very dated with an industrial type toilet. Also the food in the restaurant was not of the best quality ( a member of our party became I’ll after eating the breakfast buffet). Overall it did not meet our expectations for a Renaissance Property.
