The hotel is falsely advertised as a high quality/luxury hotel and does not warrant the added expense. Hotels of a similar state with far better amenities and services were priced far less. The 'Marriott' brand affiliation suggests that the hotel should be of a certain quality, but it's tired, old, and in need of renovation. The room I had, had weak air-conditioning, a mini-bar fridge that was discontinued use and no fridge, bugs were found in the room and bed on three occasions, and getting the service of the staff was hard. (Remember, when you're paying $500+ a night these are the things that matter ...). There was also a charge for an extended stay on the Sabbath for 4 hours, which other hotels waive with no issue. Other hotels on the beachfront (i.e., the Dan Panorama, have an outdoor pool, 24-hour room service, and other amenities that equal or are better than the Renaissance). I felt taken advantage of in terms of price for experience, particularly as a frequent Marriott customer and large conference manager at Marriott properties worldwide.
