Good Hotel, Not Great Hotel

This is a Good hotel not a Great hotel. Next time I'll try the Omni.
This is a nice hotel, as close to the river as you can get. The river has a great running trail on both sides. It's Marriott's older style decor, meaning no flat screens and the desk and TV are not conducive to working while watching TV. The club lounge is pretty middle of the road for Marriott club lounges. The gym is medium sized for a hotel gym and has everything necessary for a good workout; weight machine, dumbbells, treadmills and ellipticals. The hotel also has access to a Golds Gym that is supposed to be close by (there may be a fee). The downside is the restaurant. I've never seen it busy, and there's a reason for that. Bad $3 coffee and burned toast marked my experience. The chef apparently thought black toast was Ok to serve. The beds are Ok. I think these are still the older Marriott beds, which are not as comfortable as the new ones.

I came with a friend in early January and the stay at the hotel was amazing. Great room, valet, guest services, restaurant and location. It was an easy walk to the T and the theater. This hotel made you feel as though you were someone special!

I stayed at the Renaissance on business and it was one of my best hotel experiences in recent memory. The staff bent over backwards to make sure I had a nice stay. My room was gorgeous and perfectly appointed for the business traveller. My only complaint is that it was so lovely, that I hated to leave it to go to meetings.

The night desk clerk was in her early 20's, and very snippy. The doorman didn't open doors, either to the hotel or to the car when I left off my 90 year old mother.

This Hotel is absolutely exquisite - everything from the service to the gorgeous rooms and excellent restaurant on the first level of the Hotel. The location is very good, as well, being close to the stadiums, Benedum and Heinz Halls, and downtown shopping.
