This was my first stay at a Renaissance hotel in quite a while but if this experience is at all representative of the brand in general I will become a frequent guest of this chain.

I loved the Renaissance Boca Raton for the way they handled the details. I stay in a lot of 4 to 5 star hotels and find impressive lobbies, nice gyms, pretty pools and comfy beds are all pretty standard features of the category. But many just don’t pay attention to the little details. This hotel did.

- The staff at check-in was very friendly and helpful, and offered a few different room options to select from.
- I called down for a larger ice-bucket to keep some drinks cold and the person at the front desk helpfully suggested a refrigerator could be brought up to the room. 5 minutes later it was in my room. 5 minutes after that, SHE called back to confirm that I received it ok.
- Wireless in-room internet access is free and the mini-bar prices are actually reasonable. Nothing is more irritating than getting nickled and dimed for this stuff.
- I experienced a problem with one of the soda vending machines, explained the problem to the person at the front desk and he got me what I wanted from the store – and gave it to me for free. A very small detail to be sure but a lot of hotels would have shrugged it off.

The room was clean, modern and very tastefully decorated. I’ll be back!

Great room, free parking near shopping and resturants....great deal with hotwire....I would stay again anytime

Stayed at the Renaissance on a Priceline name your own price rate of 60.00 per night. This hotel is easily worth four times that. I likely got it so cheap as it was the low season for the property...Florida is August is not so desirable I guess.

The hotel has more of a resort feel that a typical Marriot chain. Beautiful pool, luxurious rooms and bedding, And the staff members? Absolutely fantastic. From the bellman to the bartender, the staff is definitely Four Seasons with a Marriot price.

Do not hesitate to book this wonderful Oasis in the heart of Boca Raton.

I had stayed at this hotel for one night about 5 years ago, and the experience was positive so I was not put off by the negative reviews I read. However I was so blown away by the current stay, that I felt impelled to post my experience. I don't remember the hotel seeming tired and rundown before, and if it possibly happened in between my visits, it has definitely been remedied now. Our room was very nice with updated decor including a chaise lounge/fainting couch, we had one of the pool side patio rooms, which had an extra door opening onto a private patio. We will definitely request one of these next time as well. The pool area had a very romantic tropical feel with lots of vegetation and waterfalls. Very nice hot tub location sitting up above the pool and hidden from view. It could use a little more ligthing around the hot tub at night. I loved the fact that the pool was open 24 hours so if you wanted a late night dip you could. The best thing was the staff, every single person was welcoming and friendly. Maybe they all just graduated from a Marriott program, but I have never had a stay where everyone one just went out of their way to make you feel welcome. From the front desk staff, to the bellmen/lady to the pool bar attendant to the restaurant hostess. I did have a little language/communication problem with one waiter, but it was minor. The only meal we ate there was breakfast for 3 days and it was excellent, but I can't tell you about other meals, because we were out and about for those. Location is great, close to shopping, movies etc. Not on the beach, but not too far away if you want to go. I would definitely come here again.
