    We were confused by the parking situation. Called to ask and you get a call service not even the front desk of the property. We drove around looking for parking in busy Boston. Finally just went to valet who weren't very friendly and was told valet was included In our stay. Now I have a bill for valet ?

    Our bell hop was very nice.

    Staff, room, view, breakfast

    My stay was unplanned. I got bumped from my flight to Paris very late at night. While my team was obligated to go on, I was left alone to navigate the overnight accommodation while very fatigued. I booked hastily on Booking.com and got to the hotel in about an hour. This caused a bit of a problem for the hotel staff as they had not yet received payment. I just wanted to commend the nighttime manager and staff (2 gentlemen) on 6-30-23, who were exceptionally kind and accommodating. They waived some fees ( I was too tired to process exactly what ,at the time, waived breakfast fee, they even told me to pick out a snack at the snack bar.!! Just very kind human touches that I appreciated. They also allowed me to have a late check out since next flight was going to be later. Just such a blessing.

    A very normal hotel for expensive prices. There is a $25 destination fee that helps cover the “Daily enhanced WiFi”. However, the Wifi is very weak in the rooms, the speed was 1 megabit per second. I could not have regular Zoom meetings from my room at any point during my 4-day stay. If this is important for you, I’d choose a different hotel.

    One of the main reasons we chose the Renaissance was the hot tub which my husband and I really enjoy. We were very disappointed when we got into the tub and found it lukewarm and jets not working. Plus NO towels to be found. Children that were in the pool were using what looked like face cloths to dry off. We reported the fact it was not working that evening. To our disappointment it was still not working the next day, and wasn’t even warm! After a day of a lot of walking walking, we had been looking forward to a hot soak in the hot tub.

    Breakfast was very good. The bar was wonderful, staff very friendly and attentive.

    Selected this hotel due to advertised pool (stayed with young kids) and high ratings. The pool area was in pretty bad shape. Not particularly clean, hot tub water appeared yellow and dirty. The rooms were clean but rather outdated especially the bathroom. This had a high rating of 4.4-4.6 online, I would say closer to 3.0-3.5 given the quality of amenities.

    If you want to stay somewhere to drop off bags and go out but not “stay in“ then this hotel makes sense. The staff was lovely, location is great, right off Seaport Blvd. Room was clean but quite outdated and needed a renovation especially the bathroom. Valet process is super efficient, that was great!

    Cleanliness of bed room, old muffin on the carpet. Charges for wifi, charged for a bottle of water from room, old rusty fitting in the bathroom. Food was passable, but expensive and burnt the roof of my mouth. I would have discussed with the staff but service was so slow that I didn't have time to complain as I had to go to a meeting in the office. Plus they didn't seem to be approachable and found the breakfast crew in the restaurant to be impatient.

    Near work. Most of the staff seem to be friendly and efficient. There was a gym. View from the room was nice.

    I booked my room ahead of time. 2 kings and when I got there they were not ready for (early checkin 130. The person at desk said come back at 4. We came back, they had no king rooms, because they had over booked. They had 2 double bed rooms. Which we had to take for the same price. Where else could we stay?

    The room was nice, ours. Our friends was not cleaned well. The breakfast they have you pay $25 per person was good food but not worth that.

    It's pricey, but from my research, lodging in Boston is pricey across the board.

    The location was great. Loved being really close to downtown. Was able to see many of the Boston attractions by just grabbing a quick Uber. The hotel also allowed us to check-in very early at around 9am.

    Not worth the price. It was not up to the standards of a 4 or 4+ star hotel; maybe 20 years ago. The beds were horribly uncomfortable and the decor in the rooms were very dated. The "ocean" view was not much of a view as it was obstructed by other buildings. Staying in the top floor suites felt like you were aboard a ship sailing in the ocean. The sway was tolerable but a little disorienting at times.

    The hotel food was very good and the rooms were very clean.
