Wows and Woes
Wows
Guests with rooms on one of the hotel's three concierge levels are treated to complementary food and beverages, and nightly turndown service.
Woes
The Renaissance does not offer free in-room Wi-Fi. This hotel charges nearly $13 per day for Internet access. Also, if you have to have your daily nicotine intake, you should look elsewhere. This hotel has a smoke-free policy and all rooms are non-smoking.
Insider Tips
Parking is a problem with this property. Only valet parking is available at this hotel at a daily rate of $40. Save money by parking in the public garage around the corner for $30 dollars.
Author's Most Memorable Moment
I really enjoyed eating at 606 Congress, the on-site restaurant at the Renaissance. The service was impeccable and the food was great. This restaurant made the best omelet I have ever had. My omelet contained savory lobster and fontina cheese. I only ordered my eggs, but fresh pastries and unlimited fresh-squeezed orange juice were provided automatically. The whole Renaissance experience, including the food was wonderful.
Bottom Line
This is a beautiful and elegant hotel. It is expensive, but is definitely worth the money. Splurge and give this place a try, you will not regret it.
