Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel

Exceptional

It was a good stay...

Liked: The ambiance, location and staff.
Disliked: Noise from the other rooms or hallway, as my room was close to the elevator. The towels were stained.

Very poor

Liked: nothing
Disliked: honestly it was a pretty miserable experience for me. I had accidently booked a stay here and at the Marriot on the same days. I tried to cancel the stay here but they were going to bill me for 1 night stay which was about $350. I then then figured I could stay there one night and just cancel the subsequent nights. I called customer service who recommended I speak with the hotel staff directly. When I went there, they told me they would charge me over $500 to cancel but I could stay there for 1 night for $600 or all 3 nights for $1500. The front desk guy kept going back to his manager and everytime he came back he would quote me a higher price...then it became $600 to stay for 1 night which I believe should be a criminal offense. This experience just negatively colored my entire experience and overshadowed anything potential positive attributes the hotel had which is why my overall score is low. I felt completely taken advantaged of. I will NEVER return. I ended up only staying for 1 night because cheaper to pay Marriot's cancellation fee. Their room was small, definitely not worth $600.
