Convenient location, shopping, excellent service

by akilgore42 at Citysearch

I spent a week at this hotel for a conference. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The decor is elegant, and the Gallery shopping mall is easily accessible next door. The ballrooms/conference rooms were spacious and elegant. The location on the waterfront was convenient for shopping and sight-seeing. The hotel does not offer a shuttle to the airport, but luckily taxi's wait outside the door and offer a flat $27 rate to the airport. The rooms are nice and comfortable with pillow-top matresses, but not much more impressive than more affordable hotels I've been too. Internet service cost $5.00 for 15 minutes intervals. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed and did not cater the conference. No continental breakfast was available, which was frustrating because the breakfast offered was extremely over-priced. They wanted us to pay $14.95 for a breakfast buffett that did not look very appetizing at all. I ended up paying $4.50 for a danish and another $4.50 for a soda, so if you are on a budget I would recommend buying your own food elsewhere. In short, I had a pleasant experience but wouldn't recommend it for families or anyone else on a budget.

• Pros: Friendly staff, comfortable beds, within walking-distance of shopping and sight-seeing, spacious conference facilities
• Cons: Overly-priced food, internet and amenities. Be prepared to walk a great distance to your room.

Fabulous experience!! Everytime my husband want a quick get away we love to come to the Renaissance. The staff always makes us feel special. We also love the restaurant. Windows not only has exceptional food, the ambiance is amazing. I personally like to sit by the window in the lounge with a beverage in hand and just watch!

The restaurant staff has always been top notch and extremely professional. So, as you can see, I hightly recommend the hotel--for me it is an 11

• Pros: beautiful, wonderful staff, great location
• Cons: none, none, none
