            <description><![CDATA[<p>We recently had our annual national event and expo in DC.  Staff stayed in the Renaissance.  We also had a few ancillary meetings here as well.  I am listing my "reviewer type" as "Attendee" as I didn't plan any meetings in the space or work with any of the staff; I stayed in the room.<br />
<br />
My room was a 7th floor double with westward views over the former convention center site (now a parking lot) and downtown.  I thought my room was slightly claustrophobic.  While I had requested the room anticipating a friend staying with me, I had the room to myself.  <br />
<br />
Room service was quick and professional.  The menu was pretty standard, nothing special: salads, club sandwich, hamburger, sirloin, pasta, ice cream.  I ordered one night, would have gotten a bit bored after 3.<br />
<br />
I did attend one reception in the Grand Ballroom.  Food and decor were great; our team received many compliments.<br />
<br />
The only thing I would be weary of is a slight odor in the room.  Not alarming to me - smelled like someone picked the wrong air freshener - but others may have a problem with it.  Again not alarming, but those more sensitive to odors may complain.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, a great property.</p>]]></description>
