I stayed at the Renaissance Chicago for 4 nights in mid-June as part of a conference. I booked my hotel through the conference, then contacted Marriott directly to make sure they had my Gold number. When I checked in, I received an upgrade to a much nicer room on a higher floor - so all in all, I got a... more

I'm so sick and tired of still being able to smell cigarette smoke drifting into the vents of rooms that are supposedly no smoking (Omni Suites Chicago). Renaissance is in a great location, great views, friendly... more
