The Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel is celebrated for its prime location, highly convenient for transit and attending nearby events. A luxurious atmosphere permeates the property, with guests often commenting on the hotel's exceptional cleanliness and the artful, inviting ambiance. While the rooms receive accolades for their cleanliness and comfort, some guests have mentioned subpar lighting and missing amenities.
The hotel's service generally earns high marks for its professionalism and warmth, though there have been occasional lapses. However, visitors are less pleased with extra charges such as Wi-Fi and valet parking, which detract from the hotel's value.

I had cancer surgery at Emory and would be in the hospital a day or two. Due to Covid my wife was not able to stay at the hospital with me. We did an exhausted hotel search and chose the Renaissance even though it was more expensive. I was glad we did. It was in a much safer area and the secured parking garage was a big plus. My wife really enjoyed her stay. The only negative was the restaurant was closed but you could purchase coffee and a grab and go breakfast. Nothing to brag about. Coffee should be offered free in my opinion. The bar is opened limited hours and a few food options. There is a Publix supermarket 5 minute walk that we went to the night before surgery and bought some items for her to put in the small fridge. This was a good choice and highly recommended this hotel.

I just spent 3 nights at the Renaissance. It's a great hotel, nicely designed and decorated, very clean.
The lobby and the bar area were both very welcoming.
The room was clean and comfortable. While there was no room service for just a 3 day stay, I was informed that should I need anything it would be brought up to the room. The room had plenty of conveniences you'd expect, such as toiletries, a hairdryer, USB charging outlets. A few little details were lacking, however - no laundry bag, the toilet paper (sure, maybe I'm spoilt but whenever I check into a hotel, the toilet paper is folded over to show the bathroom was recently cleaned...some places even seal it with a little sticker) was just kind of crookedly randomly torn, there were no slippers or a bathrobe (possibly due to covid?).
Service was great, from the reception to the bar/restaurant staff, everyone was wonderful, helpful and friendly.
Two things that lacked - no free wifi and no umbrellas available to the guests when it rains. Also, the food and drinks were pricier compared to options just outside of the hotel, but the convenience explains that.
Overall though, it was a great stay and I would definitely come back.

We chose RAMH based on Trip Advisor reviews and deal. We stayed for about $150, which was excellent for this location. The guys at checkin were high energy and welcoming in spite of a long checkin line. Our 21st floor room was very clean and had an absolutely gorgeous view of the city. Parking was fairly easy w/ adjacent garage for $20 overnight. There is a hotel restaurant, the Rowdy Tiger, but no complimentary breakfast, which we would not expect from a downtown hotel. There is a large lobby lounge with lots of seating and board games for hanging out. We would most definitely stay here again if the price was right.

We recently stayed at this hotel for a wedding and overall, it was nice. Even though we understand that Covid-19 has made changes necessary, this hotel really stripped away every sort of extra ... more so than other hotels where we recently stayed. The towels and toiletries are simply left in a plastic bag on the bed when you arrive and there are literally just a few towels given. No in-room coffee is given but if you call down, they will bring you a little coffee pot. No coffee available in the lobby. The room is stripped of every other thing and there was no room service or restaurant service available. They allowed their bar to open late in the day but their restaurant remained closed. So you had to go out to eat for every meal. The staff was very, very friendly and tried to be as accommodating as possible though and we realize that they were not able to over-ride the hotel policies. Overall it was a nice stay but for the cost (there is also a daily parking fee added), this hotel should offer something else to their guests, even duri9ng the pandemic!

I wanted a nice, safe hotel for our recent overnight trip to Atlanta so I chose the Renaissance. I wish I had chosen differently. Cons - There was no parking available. It was Valentine’s weekend and their seem to be some dance groups or something around town too so it was busy. After driving around twice and seeing no signage about parking, I called and was told that parking was sold out, and she had no idea of where to recommend to park. I could see being full but it was disappointing that a worker at the hotel couldn’t give any recommendations on where to park to someone from out of town. We also requested towels (there were only 3 for a party of 5) and foam pillows because of allergies. I did this on the app first then tried to follow up. The app said it was in progress the entire time of our stay and I received no answer when I called. Once again, the excuse is that they had been busy and many requests had been missed. We also had a loud party going on next door that lasted until 11:30. They couldn’t do much except request them to quiet down but it wasn’t what I expected from a hotel like this one. I was also a little concerned in this new COVID world about some safety measures. I’m not an overly paranoid person but the hotel really did seem to be overbooked for our COVID area. Every room on our floor seemed occupied. It made me wonder if the rooms are being cleaned and sanitized extensively given the amount of people there. We also had no plastic bag in our ice bucket which didn’t seem sanitary. Pros - It is a beautiful hotel with beautiful views. It’s in a good location with many things nearby. It did feel safe with room keys needed to access areas. I was overall disappointed because I had high expectations for a Marriott experience and this did not meet them. My mom worked for Marriott many years ago and we stayed at various hotels over the years. It seems the quality is not what it once was in some ways.

We have stayed here for years for an annual conference at Georgia Tech and this year was terrible. The biggest issue was that we parked 1 day, @ $45/per day because we got in late and moved the car to the G-Tech garage for $25/day. When we left there was a line at the check in/out kiosk so I checked out on the mobile app. When we got home and looked at the bill they charged us for 2 more nights. $90! We immediately called and was told that they would contact accounting, give them 7 – 10 days to adjust. Did Not Happen. Called again after 11 days and got the same line. No one ever contacted us. So we are out $90 and paid another $50 for the other parking. I am Lifetime Titanium, so good luck to others who have no status. VERY disappointing.
Pros: • Location • Some staff members • Room layout/upgrade
Cons: • We understand the new cleaning rules and are okay with it BUT when you don’t get the towels you requested, they NEVER emptied the garbage, as requested, and basically didn’t listen to the few requests we had, like wanting more toilet paper. • Complimentary breakfast one day because the restaurant was closed was terrible. • Restaurant breakfast, that reopened, which used to be really good, was not and we only went one time, even though I get it for free.
We will be staying at the Georgia Tech hotel as we attend the conference in the future.

I just checked out today. This hotel is definitely not up to four-star standards. First of all, be aware that the staff does not enforce Marriott’s mask policy. Most people I came across were not wearing masks and on two occasions I had to let the elevator go as it was filled with maskless people. There was no limit on the number of people inside the elevators either. We were on a road trip and the previous Marriott property we stayed at in NOLA had a strict mask policy with sanitizers by the elevators on each floor. None of that here! A sanitizer was placed in the lobby and that’s it! As for the cleanliness of my room I can’t begin to express how grossed out I was. Please see photos attached. In times like these I cannot stress how crucial it is to perform a thorough cleaning of the rooms. I am extremely disappointed.

Dear OliverCedric, I'm so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay like expected. We take COVID very seriously at the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown and hope our guests do the same. We make every attempt to make sure guests wear masks in public areas but sometimes become unaware when coming from the garage or inside elevators. With the comments about room cleanliness, we will look deeper into these and find the areas of concern. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Hotel lobby was beautiful. Everything has been removed from the rooms. Understandable during this time. However a cheap individual plastic cup for water to take my medication with in the morning, like I'm sure many others need, should be provided. The small fridge was barely cold. 1/4 roll of toilet paper on the holder, no refill. Thank goodness for the napkins. Management may want to think about guest needs a little more. The no extra toilet paper in the room was the most discouraging. The shortage was over and at $200 plus a night who cares if I take it with me. I paid good money for it.

They charge a $100 per night incidentals fee. Why? It's not the money because you get it back, just why? There is no room service but they do have dry cleaning services I doubt many people not on a business trip would pay those fees and if used then charge that customer immediately. Back in the day, they used room phone usage as an excuse to pre-charge incidentals fees but no one uses the landline in the room anymore as everyone owns a cell phone. I didn't come with a car but if someone is parking a car and using the valet service maybe that would be a reason to charge the incidentals fee so that the valet charges can be booked against them. But to charge a fee across the board for literally nothing is just not customer friendly and should probably be revisited by management.
The water pressure in the sink and toilet leaves a lot to be desired. There was barely any water in the bowl and it took at least 5 minutes to refill after each flush. The sink was a trickle, and when washing your hands is a chore maybe up the water pressure? And even at a trickle, it took forever for the sink to drain. The shower pressure was perfect. So maybe they took from the other two to get good pressure in the shower?
I don't know if this is just a personal pet peeve but what is with the soft white (yellow) lights in all of the hotels under the Marriott brand? I could not get my make-up on because the lights were so dim in the bathroom, actually throughout the whole hotel. The lobby was dark no matter the time of day. I feel they keep it dim so the customer won't see the half-hearted cleaning but it is irritating. Buy some daylight bulbs at a little higher wattage!!!

Thanks for taking the time to share your recent experience. Incidental deposits are required at any hotel you make reservations. Some are higher than $100 each day. It is a standard to have an incidental deposit upon check in. In addition we are a brand that has the time of day, light settings. I apologize again if this stay was not what you expected.

The room was pretty nice, and most of our issues were due to understaffing, so I'll attribute that to COVID. The parking garage was a mess, though, and that's not because of COVID. Upon arrival, you must park at the curb (as though using valet, although valet isn't available), walk inside, check in, get your room key, go around the block, and enter the garage with your room key from a different street. There is no signage about this process. The garage is poorly marked, so you'll ask yourself "is this right?" The garage is overcrowded with some guests parking in the aisles. There is no elevator within the garage, and the available stairs say they are only for emergency exit. We parked on the roof and had to walk all the way down the ramp to reach the door into the hotel. It's not a terrible walk, just awkward with luggage and dodging traffic. Perhaps this hotel is normally "valet only" and that's why their garage isn't set up for guest convenience. Service was poor. All Bonvoy app chat requests and phone calls to the front desk went unanswered. Again, this is likely due to COVID staffing levels.

Breakfast definitely not free. But very good.
Don’t know about Amazon packages, but there is an Amazon pickup store in Technology Square which is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
There are more places to choose from in the Atlanta area.
