We stayed here from 4-6 Jun 08. Only a couple blocks from the China Town/Gallery Place metro stop. The hotel is very nice. The staff accomodated us with an early check in and late check out. The conceirge was helpful in getting us a shuttle from the hotel to BWI. Cost was $49 1st person and $10 each additional. Shuttle was right on time. Hotel was $175 a night through priceline. Rooms were very clean and we had a view of the National Monument. Bathroom size was fine, it was the door that opened right on top of the toilet was my only complaint. Internet was available in room and down in business area. Located about 6 blocks from the National Mall. A couple nice restaurants right down the street. Spy Museum a couple blocks away. I would definitely stay here again, as it was a great location to get around to all the sights.

Stayed here when in town to see some baseball at Nationals Park.....very nice hotel.....clean and comfortable....employees very friendly and helpful......location is great...subway stop only a couple of blocks away...their subway is awesome...VERY clean, VERY bright, VERY safe, VERY user friendly.......do a SEGWAY tour while in town...check it out....what a fun way to see alot of D.C...........paid $180.00 w/taxes...priceline.....a solid 4 star....

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.
