Old on new
While it may be a little outdated with new on top of old and much needed plumbing, including the toilets for tots, which were so low I felt I was in the woods, leaning up against a tree to do my business. Other than that the service was excellent, and the location is stupendous, right there in “the loop.”

Onsite restaurant beware
Room was ok. Tub was peeling, tv kept turning off, and do NOT make a reservation with the onsite restaurant and pay the reservation fee. Apparently the servers are not aware of reservations and they kept telling me I was wrong and to pay my bill. I had to go to the hotel management to get the restaurant manager, who told me I was wrong until I provided the reservation email and they finally found my reservation number in their tablet. Also my original server never checked on us after food was delivered and left. Go somewhere else to keep.

Rooms and hallways are outdated. There was hair stuck to the ceiling, the air vent in the shower had lint and mold inside it. Found a contact on the floor in bathroom that wasn’t mine. Popcorn ceilings. Pillows are flat, blankets are thin.
Convenient location, free popcorn and waters daily.

A lot of street noise on Sunday night, maybe because of Mexican independence day.
When we checked out in AM of 9/16, ghost town. Not one single person in Lobby to ask questions to.

From the moment you walk in to the lobby, you’re impressed! The staff was extremely accommodating and very professional! The property is very centrally located and is in within walking distance to most tourist activities. Also with mentioning is the rooftop bar/lounge on the 3rd floor…..fantastic food and great cocktail offerings! Thank you for a great stay Renaissance…..we’ll be back!

Great location, lots of landmarks close by. It would have been nice if parking “not valet” was available on site for those staying. Parking was a bit of a pain in the area.
