Nice hotel, clean rooms with beautiful rich color decor, bigger than normal gym. Safe area, Convention Center nearby. Took the Metro in from the airport. From terminal, take air train (terminal 4) down a long gray hallway --- follow the signs. Downstairs to street level. There is a kiosk for $2.00 one way or $4.00 all day pass. Took train West bound to Central and Washington, 13th stop. Walking distance to hotel. Stopped in at My Mom's Thai restaurant. Experience with Renaissance good with friendly staff who went out of their way to be personable and graciously give best customer service.
