A good spot in the middle of everything.
Pros:

Nice room and a nice bar. Staff helped us fulfill our special booking request after Booking did not forward it to the hotel. The location is excellent for everything from downtown fun to sports venues.

Cons:

Be warned: Booking.com does not forward any special requests to the hotel. We found out the hard way! Call them yourself if you have a special room request.

Gorgeous hotel, amazing staff!
Pros:

Such a beautiful hotel! So much history in the building which makes the experience that much more enjoyable. The rooms are updated, spacious, and beautiful. We were welcomed and checked in with ease! The valet team, culinary team, and management team ensured a seamless stay. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay downtown! Location is perfect. Thanks to the team at Renaissance for an amazing stay.

Awesome stay in beautiful suite
Pros:

Our stay at the Renaissance was great. We were actually booked at another hotel and it was awful- we didn't even check in. We were welcomed at the Renaissance immediately by Leslie and Raine. They were able to upgrade our accommodations and were so kind and friendly. The room was clean and very spacious. We ate lunch in the restaurant and it was delicious- room service was just as good. If we return to Cincinnati, this is where we will be staying for sure.

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!
