First time staying at the Renaissance TS as we usually stay at the Marriott. Decided on something different for a quick night out in the city. Really liked this place and the vibe was great. As a Gold Marriott Rewards member I was upgraded to a Jr. Suite and had a nice few of TS and great room.

Staff was helpful. We really enjoyed a late night drink at the R-Lounge over looking Times Square.

This was my first trip to New York and the Renaissance was amazing. The hotel was very welcoming and the staff were great. We had a nice clean room and the bed was amazing perfect after being in the cold weather. The location was perfect for me as I was able to walk for most sight seeing and shopping. I highly recommend this great hotel.

We stayed at the Renaissance twice in the past month in order to attend local events, and both times we were very impressed by the friendly and accommodating staff; the valet service, front desk, concierge, housekeeping and restaurant servers are not only friendly and polite, but they work quickly to get you where and what you need without making you feel rushed.

The lobby is beautiful and well set up as a "barrier" to the street level entry. The guest rooms, specifically the bathrooms, could use a little updating. In mid-town there really is no getting away from noise no matter what hotel you stay in, Times Square is very loud and busy which is why it is so fun to visit, as a hotel with only 26 floors I don't think you would be able to escape the street sounds in this hotel.

Lastly, the location of this hotel is superior. If you are in the City to see a show or sight see, the Renaissance is easily within walking distance of many attractions and there is a subway station just outside to access other areas of the city.

My sons are 15 and 19 and had never visited NYC. I wanted to create a special vacation for the three of us as I know my "boys" are almost grown men. I could not have chosen a better venue! The hotel staff went out of their way to make our visit a memory that will last a lifetime! The hotel itself was elegant enough for me to relax and enjoy but still lively and modern with interesting people and an exciting atmosphere for teens.

The view of Time Square from the R Lounge is spectacular! We had a delicious dinner there the first afternoon. We were seated in front of the floor to ceiling windows and watched the light show begin. After dinner I sat back and relaxed with a glass of wine and watched from the perfect vantage point as my sons walked through TS for the first time.

Throughout our four night stay the Renaissance staff was attentive and friendly making us feel very special. I travel weekly and have reached elite status with Marriott which provides many perks but they far exceeded my expectations.

One afternoon we returned to our room and found a gift basket of snacks and sodas and a wine & cheese platter waiting for us with a personalized note from the staff. My son actually said "Mom, I'm proud to be with you. You're a little bit Rock Star!" BEST MOMENT EVER!!!! Thank you Renaissance staff!
