DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. They canceled our reservation for parents weekend due to “over booking” and we made our reservation months ago. Customer service is horrible.

Overnight stay was okay - I’m not sure, but it seems that when booking with a third party (Expedia in this case) the hotel staff (or algorithm) places guests in a small room with the air conditioner equipment view. It has happened before. I feel companies like Expedia should address this issue.

The wall sticker in the bathroom is pealing off just to let you know, it didn’t effect my stay but just wanted to note it so it can get fixed for asthetic purpose :) also I think a screw is loose in the bathroom door it makes an odd clicking sound when it’s almost about to close

The Renaissance is a convenient location to all things happening in the city. It is a very well maintained property. There is no staff to help with luggage so locate a luggage rack if you are traveling heavy. The bar tender Sean makes an excellent martini.

Favorite hotel stay of our east coast trip. Beautiful building, especially lit up at night. Walkable to the Riverwalk, very safe area. Spotless and spacious room. Fantastic bathroom amenities. The most quiet HVAC in a hotel ever. Great breakfast in the onsite restaurant.
