Wonderful Experience
Pros:

My stay at the renaissance hotel during the snow storm was nothing but exceptional, the room was very clean as expected. The services that were provided were on point and very professional. Everyone working there, they make sure to go out of their way to make you feel welcomed the moment you enter the hotel.
Despite being stuck in the hotel during the snow storm, I still managed enjoy my time there thanks to the staffs and also to the spectacular hospitality shown by the managers, Mr. Refo and Mr. Elyor. They were very polite, calm and collective, and made sure I was given the best service possible.
And the food there was what really made the difference. The restaurant on the first floor 4th and Walnut Rest. provides a very vast variety of menu, with many diverse options and most importantly it was served fresh, warm and tasted delicious!.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay there for a shorter or longer period of time.

Great location; hopefully, next time the front desk person can accommodate us better.
Pros:

The location was amazing; I was within walking distance to everything, including performances and restaurants.

Cons:

The customer service representative at the front desk informed us that our booked room was not ready. They were unable to accommodate us with a king bed, offering only a double bed instead. Unfortunately, we had to leave early at 10:00 p.m. that day due to a family emergency and were unable to stay for the full duration until the next morning. Overall, the experience was disappointing.

Extremely pleasant and warm staff!
Pros:

Arrived late at night to the Rennaisance Cincinnati, just tired from the long drive. Was immidiately warmly welcomed by all staff, from valet to front desk agents! Everyone was super accomodating and very friendly and playful with my 6 year old son who enjoys playing to be in charge by order towels and our car to be brought up by valet.
Just a big thank you from my family and myself for the warm welcome to Cincinnati and to your lovely Hotel!

Home Away from Home
Pros:

I stay at the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown Hotel at least six times a year for work, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. It is truly my home away from home. The hospitality here is unmatched. They are warm, genuine, and consistent no matter the season or how busy the hotel is. I want to specifically mention, Jordan Simon, Senior Sales Manager, and Sara Mayhle, Group Sales Manager, who always go above and beyond to make my stays seamless. Whether it is handling last minute details ensuring accommodations are just right, or simply greeting me with the kind of friendliness that makes you feel like family, they both elevate the entire experience. If you're looking for a hotel in Cincinnati that pairs modern comfort with outstanding service, the Renaissance is the place!

Noisy three to four star hotel…
Pros:

The location was great and the food at the restaurant was very good. Wait staff and hotel staff wonderful.

Cons:

The noise. Street noise woke us at least twice, cars, busses, trucks…I expect better from a premium hotel.

Amazing!!
Pros:

We had a church youth activity. The girls wanted to stay at a downtown property and chose this location. Man! How amazing was the staff, the girls were in shock of how nice and beautiful the hotel was. The agent who checked us in was so awesome and attended to our every need! I am beyond thankful for the stay and staff of this beautiful hotel. The youth girls were absolutely amazed and felt special.!!! The valet even vibed with the teen youth girls!!

I brought my 15 year old granddaughter to see Stevie Nicks at the Heritage Bank Center and I wanted our stay to be extra
Pros:

The property was easy to find as we came from Pittsburgh, PA. The entrance to the building was nostalgic and just as I expected a Renaissance to look. Clean and inviting!

Cons:

The property was within walking distance to our venue and many restaurants.
