Hotel was great. Rooms were nice. Gym was excellent. Loved the pool. It was about a 2 mile walk to Starbucks and shopping, which I loved to do everyday. We didn’t notice any construction while we were there, but we did get a note that they were shutting off the water between 1-3 one day. We were at the pool during that time so it was not an inconvenience at all.

We recently attended a large conference held at the Renaissance. Overall it was extremely well managed and well run considering the huge number of attendees. Food choices were great. Service generally good. Rooms comforatble (see belwo for details). Conference rooms comfortable.
HIGHS
Great Wifi
Large TV with easy to use guide
Comfortable bed
Shower in the tub very good
2 sinks in bathroom
Parking relatively close (in deck)
LOWS
Can't darken room from sunlight (louvers don't do the job)
No slippers - only 1 robe
Pipes in walls made noises
No in room recycle
I believe there are upcoming renovations that can correct some of these issues. But overall kudos to the hotel for making this conference work so well.
