Everything was wonderful here - from check in to check out. All personnel were extremely helpful, pleasant and courteous. A hiccup was the keyless entry didn't work all the time and then my room key stopped working. Our room was wonderful, the view terrific. I will say that the food at the club could have been a tad better. The warm apps weren't so warm. Maybe a warmer near by. They ran out of clean silverware - used plastic until they were cleaned. Also, having the same food all the time (except for one or two items) became boring. Loved the room service menu's name. Loved the hang tag for breakfasts name. I would absolutely stay here again.

The Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel far exceeded my expectation. The hotel was modern and very welcoming. The check-in process was fast and staff was very pleasant during my staff. My city view king sized room was outstanding. The room was emaculant and house keeping did an outstanding job daily keeping the hotel and my room very inviting and emaculant. It was great coming back to the hotel every night to my room. The bell boy, bartender and staff throughout the hotel were all very pleasant and professional. The security at the hotel was very efficient and I felt safe returning the the hotel every evening. I like that you need your room access car to access the elevator.

The location of the hotel far exceeded my expectation. 3 minutes from Penn Station and minutes from all the various subway lines one would need to get around the city. From JFK terminal 8, I took the JFK air train ($5) and Long Island Railroad ($7.50) and arrived at Penn Station in about 40 minutes. Penn Station has and is undergoing a full makeover. I was surprised to see how beautiful and safe Penn Station is now compared to years past. There is a strong police present in Penn Station and the homeless problem from years past was not visible.

There are numerous dinning options near the hotel and my favorite bagel shop (Best Bagel & Coffee) is located across the street from the hotel.

The Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel will be my new go to hotel. I look forward to my next stay in November.

New modern hotel, the best I've had so far in that area.
Great location.
Had 2 rooms. The first, a surprisingly large "City View" room on the 20th floor. Modern, clean, quiet, highly-equipped, and with excellent city views. The other room (on the 8th floor) was much smaller and with only street view, but otherwise had similar fine attributes as the other room and with the addition of a nice reading sofa by the window.
Large lobby on the 6th floor, comfortable and well designed.
Effective staff service.
Awesome Gym! Huge (occupying 2 full hotel floors!), free 24/7 access to hotel guests, and with super professional and well-maintained equipment!
On the downside, weak water pressure in the shower.
