This convention-oriented, high-rise hotel offers many guest rooms with sweeping easterly views. Due to new construction adjacent to this hotel, most all westerly facing guest rooms are losing their water views, but a few guest rooms at the end of the hall may still offer a dramatic peek at Elliott Bay.

Pros: I left behind a cell charger in the room and became aware of my mistake an hour after having checked out. I contacted the hotel asking for housekeeping to secure it for me. To my surprise, security found it and had it at the front desk for me to pick up.
Cons: The hotel was very busy. Hotel is in need of more elevators. A make-up mirror is needed in the bathroom.

Pros: Clean and comfortable room. The climate control system was substantially better than most. Responded well to one degree changes, and reasonably quiet for sleeping. Fast elevators. Nice shower.
Cons: Charging for WiFi access is annoying, and parking will add nearly $50 per night to your cost (but that is typical for most hotels in Seattle).

Pros: The staff at the Renaissance were extremely accommodating under the circumstances and made sure we had the appropriate room for our second and third nights stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, rooms nice, beds comfortable. The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy there jobs. Breakfast buffet that was included with the room price was excellent! The Manager told us we should call the Hotel immediately after booking on-line with a third party to confirm that there aren't any issues with the reservation but then what's the point of having an on-line booking system?!?!?
Cons: It turned out we had a KIng room for the four of us when we booked a room with two double beds on Booking.com and also had confirmation from Booking.com that a cot would be available for our 6'1" son, since we also confirmed our late check-in. There were no cots left on our arrival. It seems that information is lost in translation between the third party (Booking.com) and the hotel. This is something that Booking.com needs to rectify with the hotels they do business with.

Pros: The rooms were big, there was enough room for my 3 children and myself. Facility was clean. We only spent enough time there to rest, which was fine. Most of the staff was helpful.
Cons: Wi-if was not free, it should have been included in the room rate which was high enough. The water went completely hot on the 3rd day... Maintenance man went up started flushing and turning on shower and faucet. Water went back to normal for a few minutes until he left. He laughed at me for having called them. I didn't call again, felt insulted.

Pros: Reasonably priced compared to other downtown hotels but still expensive. Clean rooms and in good walking distance to stadium and downtown.
Cons: Parking is a pain- valet when possible. They put us in a disabled room so shower head was way too low. They also gave us two full beds instead of the king I reserved. They must have been overbooked when we were there. The gal checking is in was acting weird and kept having to step away during check in. Instead of explaining the situation and/or offering a discount she just put us in a room we didn't ask for- not the best consumer service.

Pros: Hotel is fine...everything that you would expect from a 4 star place. Good service, great room/ bed, free wifi if you are a Marriott Awards member, etc.
Cons: Unfortunately, the hotel's location is situated next to the I-5 which is noisy...plus its perched on a steep hill so there is lots of walking up & down (not great if you like to wear high heels). Lots of new construction going on in the area.

Pros: Clean. Good reception staff. Nice bathrooms.
Cons: Staff chatting in hallways had their voice carry into the room. The bed was stiff. Parking is expensive, but not unexpected for a hotel this caliber. Finally, I would rather stay at a hotel closer to Pike Place Market for its walkability with no car.

Thomas in the bar was rude.
At about 730pm the "maid" tried to enter our room. She knocked once and immediately opened the door before my friend could get to it. It was very odd. She did not say why she was there or what what she was doing she just seemed startled when my friend was immediately at the door.

Pros: Love the up to date rooms! Very nice hotel everything was clean and nice. The only thing wrong was I was banking on a bathtub since I specifically picked this hotel cuz it would have a bathtub but the tub was only like a foot tall! But besides that everything was great.
Cons: I just needed to be close to the wamu theater which was about a 6 dollar cab right, and there are cabs all along the side of the building so didn't even need to call and wait for one. Super easy to find and is right off the freeway. As far as other attractions yo I'm not sure since as mentioned above, I just went to the wamu theater
