Don't stay here unless you are willing to pay $14.02 for very slow internet access. Even being a member of the Marriot Rewards program doesn't help. I've NEVER had to pay for internet access at a Marriot property before. I will never stay at a Renaissance Hotel again. More

My last review banged around the Renaissance pretty good. I cited issues like the hotel starting to look a little dated and being overpriced. I stayed there again recently and I have to back up and admit that a lot of work has been done in the last few months. The rooms have good com systems (although they still charge... More

Rooms are a mix of the 80's/90's/ and the 2000's ( layout 80's/bathroom 90's/room de-core 2005/ tv's 2009). Hotel is close to ,many of the fun areas of Houston ( rice village/galleria) but they all require a car or cab to get to. On the plus side they have a full service Starbucks in the lobby, the best concierge staff... More

Stayed here for 5 nights on a business trip. I expected more from a Renaissance Hotel. Cable channels were very limited - did not have Food Network, HGTV, etc. I could hear the TV in the room next to mine - TV was left on all night and disturbed my sleep. Bed was OK. Room was clean. Concierge lounge is... More

I am not impressed at all with this hotel given the price of a room!! The front desk sound like you are interrupting their busy schedule; the odor that greeted me was shameful (looks like they have a toilet plumbing problem) and the heat in the room is not just working. I had to keep my socks on in the... More

We enjoyed our weekend at the Renaissance. We chose the hotel because it offered a package deal for the King Tut exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (the deal included exhibit "fast-track" tickets and one free breakfast). Our room was on the second floor. The noise from the air-conditioning was the only problem (pack ear plugs). The hotel... More

I'm not much of a reviewer but wanted to add a little balance and some new updated information about this property. I am currently in the middle of a weekend stay for an educational conference. Wi-fi is now available in all rooms. The service has been over the top fabulous. From the front desk to room service and everyone in... More

The hotel is very nice and clean but also dated. Also, no wi-fi, which is very annoying, and A/C was very old. I was not happy with the food. (Ate at bar, restaurant and ordered room service.) However, it is very convient for business in Houston if you do not have a car. (There is a shuttle service makes rounds... More

I have stayed at this hotel a lot because it is close the headquarters office, (don’t get me started on that!) Anyway I have always thought the Renaissance was not too bad a place, but I have also thought it was a little pricey and starting to get a little seedy. The Renaissance REALLY dates itself when the only com... More
