The staff were amazing. The pool area and everything on the fourth floor is a great asset to the hotel. Obviously, very pricey for each night that we stayed. Overall, a good experience.

Room was large and comfortable, though slightly dated. Overall great stay my only complaint is the bathroom door, it's one of those that slides and doesn't fully close (barn door style but isn't connected all the way) so privacy is a bit of an issue if you're sharing a room. Walking distance to some items and overall safe-feeling. Would probably stay again!

The staff at the Renaissance are professional, efficient, and polite in everything they do. The hotel itself is kept impeccably clean, and my room was no exception. The furniture was comfortable and well-maintained. Everything worked as it should, and I was very pleased with my stay here at The Renaissance.
