This hotel may seem pleasant at first but beware! Housekeeping will go through your belonging (and take what they wish), they did mine! Management is quick to defend their own, and will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but brush you off. I called the police, I suggest you do the same when your personal belonging end up missing. I will never stay at a Renaissance Hotel again - their customer service is horrible!

I stayed at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver and was surprised by the great service and attentive management team, something that you don't often find these days. the hotel is located in a very convenient location. Easy access to the highway, minutes from Downtown Denver, and surrounded by a new shopping and restaurant area makes this a must try if travelling to Denver. I'm usually dissapointed by the workout room in hotels, but this place has been done well, with a very nice mix of cardio and free weights.

Conveniently located between Downtown and DIA, this hotel is one of the best values in town. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the staff goes above and beyond to please.
The fitness center is excellent, and the dining in house is appropriate.

The main reason I did not give this hotel a higher rating is due to the irritation of being awakened by train horns throughout the night. I could live with the inconvenience of the semi-remote location, but it was the direct proximity to the train tracks that spoiled the experience.

The room was very nice, especially for a business traveler. There are both audio and rgb jacks on the work desk which connect to the HD TV. As a result, you can use the TV as a large external monitor for your laptop. The broadband internet connection was both free and easy to use. On one of the hotel's lower levels there is a well-equipped business center.

It would have been nice to find a practical restaurant in the building. Instead, they have an Italian restaurant with a pretentious looking menu and prices to match. Accordingly, anything from room service would flatten your wallet. While the bar area offers snack foods, the drink prices leave something to be desired i.e $6 to $9 a glass for some very mediocre cabernets.

A visit to the shopping center across the street reminded me a lot of east Oakland, CA (and that's no compliment.) If you enjoy gang graffiti and prefer languages other than English, you might feet right at home shopping near the hotel.

The bottom line: A nice, clean, elegant, roomy hotel. The rooms and facilities are above average, and the staff was courteous. The rates are a bit pricey for what you get, but not way out of line. The biggest drag on the experience was the intermittent train noise.
