Ruhig und gut gelegen.
Pros:

Das Personal war jederzeit hilfsbereit und sehr zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Ist mittlerweile in die Jahre gekommen und hat eine Sanierung nötig.
26€ für einen Parkplatz zu verlangen…. sehr fragwürdig.
Musik am Pool war sehr laut.

Clean rooms, but poor service, disappointing cleanliness in common areas, and unacceptable food quality at breakfast.
Pros:

The room itself was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The pool area was nice, and the location was convenient. Overall, the room met our expectations.

Cons:

We arrived at 4:20 PM with our young child after a long drive, even though check-in starts at 4:00 PM. Our room was still not ready, and we had to wait about 30 minutes in the heat. Unfortunately, the staff did not offer any apology or alternative while we waited—no place to relax, no access to the pool area, and not even a complimentary drink or water. We were simply told to wait.

The hotel itself feels old and has many visible signs of wear in the hallways and common areas, which did not look very clean. The room was clean, but the public areas were disappointing.

The children’s pool was dirty in the morning. There were plastic cups and cigarette butts around the pool, and I had to clean the area myself before my child could play safely. The main pool was better but still not as clean as expected.

The biggest disappointment was breakfast. This is not about taste—food preferences are subjective—but serving moldy bread is unacceptable. Unfortunately, we were given bread rolls with visible mold. The staff removed them quickly, so I was unable to take a photo, but this should never happen in a hotel of this standard.

Unbelievably horrible hotel! Do not stay here!
Pros:

We travel the country and world frequently. This Renaissance property does NOT come close to resembling the professionally taken photos provided. The place was a falling down dump with the rudest staff of anywhere I’ve ever been. To top it off, NO WORKING AIR CONDITIONING!!! And this is nothing new. I looked back at reviews from years ago with guests complaining of no working air conditioning in their room and run down hotel conditions. This place was as run down as it gets. Do not believe these pictures provided by the hotel. Our room was totally run down, old, dirty, broken, and had NO air conditioning with over 100 degree temps outside. When I alerted the front desk that the air conditioning was not working, they handled it shockingly rude and unprofessionally and clearly had heard it many times before because it didn’t phase them that our room didn’t have working air. It took three hours for maintenance to get to the room to “repair” it—basically , he banged on it to get it to wake up. He told me the units are so old they constantly go out and he’s always in guests’ rooms trying to fix the problem. I saw the unit when he had the cover off and it looked so old and worn it was scary. I had no confidence his repair was going to last, and it did not. The unit was extremely loud, banging, and straining to work (we had it set at 76) and died again five hours later and was barely working the five hours it did “work.” The room was very hot and miserable. Hotel staff treated us terribly for complaining about the lack of air conditioning. TERRIBLY!!! I cannot stress that enough! We spent two nights in a horribly hot room. The pool, well, that too was a joke. In the photos provided, they show it looking all pretty with all the blue umbrellas open. Well, we had the ONE AND ONLY WORKING UMBRELLA at the pool. When we got to the pool we tried finding an umbrella that opened and stayed open. We walked from one umbrella to the next, and EVERY SINGLE UMBRELLA, except for one, had the missing pin needed to hold it up. Hotel staff didn’t bat a lash. Wouldn’t a properly run hotel purchase new pins to hold up the umbrellas? Not a single staff member assisted guests and clearly this, too, they’d seen a thousand times before. While we sat under the only working umbrella that the pool (thanks to a person leaving and giving us his) we watched other guests arrive at the pool and walk to every umbrella trying to find one that stayed up. NOT ONE WORKED! I felt terrible and guilty. After what we were experiencing, we were too afraid to try anything to eat or drink at the property, so I cannot comment on the food. Additionally, we didn’t want to give this dump one extra cent, so we ate elsewhere. The staff CLEARLY KNOWS this place has A LOT of serious issues and looking back in the comments, has known for years, yet gives a canned response to reviews and does nothing when you’re there in person. They could care less. I’ve never encountered anything like this in all of my travels. We checked out from this dump earlier than anticipated, flew to San Diego, stayed at the Westin Bayfront and had a wonderful time the rest of our week. If you’re going to Palm Springs, I can recommend the JW Marriott Desert Springs. Whatever you do, DO NOT stay here at the Renaissance. DO NOT believe the nice pictures as they are NOT representative of what you’re walking into today. This place is a disgrace. The health department needs to get involved. I just might make a phone call. Jackie, I don’t want a canned response thanking me for my review. I’m reviewing this dump to warn others to stay away. Jackie is clearly as unprofessional as it gets. These problems have existed for years. The place is a wreck.

Bad
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

Staff very unprofessional. Knowing I booked through a 3rd party they gave me bad service. First they placed me in their worst room and when I complained to switch I overheard them say I booked with. 3rd party.
They also falsely accused me of smoking in the room when I don’t smoke I have 3 kids.

Not worth it.
Pros:

It was 10-15 min walk from downtown, nice stuff.

Cons:

No soap in any bathroom in the hotel nor the room (containers were empty). Towels smell bad, room was only cleaned at 5pm, a/c would make such a loud noise it was impossible to sleep.

Pros:

Beautiful, clean property with excellent food. We had a great stay and would definitely come back!

Cons:

A few areas for improvement: the mattress was too soft and had a noticeable dip in the middle, which affected our sleep quality. Also, the AC didn’t get as cold as we would have liked

Great stay! Would def book again!
Pros:

Staff, rooms, pool were all great

Cons:

The AC in our room didn’t work as well as we would hope. It didn’t ever seem to get to the temperature we had it set to. So the room with the bed was quite warm. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, still a very great stay.
