The Renaissance is very nice. It's clean, rooms are comfy and the room service was so yummy. Try the banana pancakes in the morning, you'll be glad you did!

Very nice rooms. A little small and pricey but in a good location. Front desk staff very good and accommodating. Only problem was price of valet parking but staff was nice and car was brought up quickly on every occasion.

You can hear through the walls! The couple next door had a nasty fight at 3 a.m. We called the front desk; security went up 15 minutes later and banged on the door. At 6:00 in the morning it started again. We got up and left early; explained the problem to the manager. He took my name and number and said that the hotel would contact us. They did not have stirrers for the coffee in the room. There was one tiny bottle of water. They did not. We won't go back! EVER!

Thank you for taking the time to provide our team with feedback from your recent stay at the Renaissance Providence. We apologize for the noise made from other guests on your floor but are pleased our security team was able to quickly address the situation. We can assure you that this is not the norm and will pass this on to the correct department. We hope to have the opportunity to show you on future trips to Providence that this is not the norm. Thank you again for your feedback.
