We loved our stay in this historic Denver hotel. We were able to enjoy the lounge with snacks at night and a plentiful breakfast in the morning. We had a lovely room. The service was top notch. Two different valets (I think their names were Eric and James) gave us great dinner and bar recommendations. We'll definitely come back.

Arrived here on a VIP trip with Draftkings Sportsbook. The Valet attendant Ruben went above and beyond for my wife and I assisting with our luggage to the room; ensuring that everything was placed in the correct spot versus dumping it all off in the upmost polite and humble manner. He also parked our BMW SUV out front for convenient in-and-out privilege. Tyler was pleasant to deal with for a seamless check-in process and gave a warm and inviting sense of belonging welcome. The lobby is historically stunning and a great place to catch a drink for happy hour or schmooze the evening away. The room itself was very clean and had two TVs which was extremely convenient to not have and swivel your head from a couch. Shower was also very therapeutic with good pressure and bathroom seemed newly renovated. My suggestions at check-out to were a pillow menu to become available to guests, a larger size of bath robe also a must; and a dedicated bell desk team. The Renaissance will be our hotel of choice in downtown Denver for any future visits.

The perfect example of the complete demise of the Marriott brand. The entire hotel smells like sewer gas. The TV's all over the hotel pixelate constantly and then go dark. All the management says is that we 'are looking into these issues.' They claim they reset the televisions. They sent a maintenance man to my room to reset (unplug) the TV, who then handed me the remote and said 'all set.' I turned it on and nothing. 3 of the cardio machines in the gym are out. Read the negative reviews. They are accurate.
