Nice bedding and soft beds highlighted my stay for one night on a weekend at the Renaissance. It is across the street from the Washington Convention Center and a stone's throw from the Verizon Center and the restuarants and entertainment now found in Chinatown. I encourage weekend tourists to try to find a low rate for this place as it is well worth it and very centrally located. They could use flatscreen TVs in the rooms, though, maybe with HDTV!

My husband spotted an unopened condom next to the bed on the floor. He picked it up and then looked under the bed by it and saw a hotel sign that said "Yes we have cleaned under here also", and then another opened condom empty wrapper nearby.

He thought it was humorous because of the sign under the bed, but I was very upset. He didn't want me to report it to the front desk because the rest of the room was cleaned satisfactorily and we didn't want to get the cleaning staff in trouble, so I agreed.

This was the first time anything like that every happened in any of the hotels I have stayed in over the years.

The positives were that the hotel was upscale and had an attractive lobby. Also very convenient to transportation and local sights.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed here because of it's proximity to the Verizon Center and the great rate that we got on Priceline ($69). It was an easy walk to the Verizon Center and numerous other attractions. We didn't eat at the restaurant, but we did enjoy the Starbucks right in the lobby.

The room was nice, what you would expect from a Renaissance, with comfy beds and linens. I would agree with the other reviews that the bathrooms were small, but overall the room was fine. Everything was very clean and well kept.

The parking lot across the street was also super convenient, and cost $20 for 24 hr period. We didn't even bother to valet since it was so close.
