We stayed last night and was waked up a little after 6 a.m. by heavy construction right outside room window. They are working on and off the street. Multiple pieces of construction machines, drilling, digging, etc. The type you see on highway. Inside lobby, it is under renovation too. Noise filled the entire lobby constantly. Non stop. I am not... more

I'm going to keep this short as sweet. This hotel is fine...but not for what you pay to stay here. I would choose to stay somewhere else. Be sure to tack on $12.95 for internet, and $25 for parking (nothing says hospitality like some undisclosed fees). The only saving grace is the comfortable bed. Book elsewhere.... more

good: - very comfortable bed - some HD channels on tv - room nicely furnished - modern bathroom not so good: - lobby under renovation - view from the hotel room: parking area - breakfast is expensive - thin walls (take earplugs if you are sensitive) more

This past week I traveled with my husband to Washington DC for the Eagle Bank Bowl at RFK Stadium to see the Temple Owls football team play UCLA. The Renaissance Hotel was a great choice and I felt did a wonderful job in accommodating so many people. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice....a very typical... more

We booked it on Hotwire for $80 as we just need a room for 1 night and it was perfect - clean, comfortable, convenient, etc. But I might blow my brains out if I had to stay any longer than one or two nights. It's very touristy. Oh wait....I was a tourist. more

This is not a 4-star hotel. great value during holidays but dreary. Unhelpful bellhops--reception undergoing renovation and had to wander around with our luggage looking for check in, without any help. No one greeted us coming or going--just looked away when they saw us. nice front desk staff. Room missing many things--had to call down but felt reluctant to bother... more

The hotel was not as nice as expected. The rooms are not warrant of the usual Renaissance standard: nice deco, but nothing exceptional other than the large HDTV and the free chocolate at night... The rooms are very small and I found hairs in the shower... Good thing my wife was not with me... Located right in Penn Square, it... more

At most a 3 star hotel. OK for business meeting. Avoid for family trip or romantic get-away! Renovation construction of facade and lobby created a loud environment. The staff appeared disinterested in customer service. No one welcomed me to the hotel or offered to take my bags or hold the door. The sign in the lobby directed us to the... more

My husband and I drove to Maryland from PA and took the metro into DC to do some sightseeing over Thanksgiving weekend. After finally arriving at the Chinatown stop, we ascended the escalator into the sunlight and...rain. Rain? Rain. It was pouring. No, the word ‘pouring’ would imply rain falling down. This was blowing sideways. We trudged through this wind... more
