Comfortable for a one night stay
Pros:

The Renaissance is very close to the train station, feels generally fresh and clean and like the asthetics.

Cons:

We came down for Pride and always forget it's an extra 15 min walk to get to the hotel from downtown and it can feel a bit removed. Our room felt like it needed a refresh—bathroom outlet was broken and the condition of the walls/doors were pretty beaten.

AMAZING, would definitely return & recommend!
Pros:

Loved that the location was walkable, close to restaurants and entertainment. The pictures online don't do the hotel justice, it was a beautiful - LOVED the room. Had an issue with a slow drain in the shower, maintenance came immediately to fix the issue. Room was spacious enough for all the guest. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

Valet is the only option for hotel parking, otherwise, street or public garage parking.
