My wife and I stayed at the Renaissance one night before a cruise. Admittedly, I used Marriott points to defray the cost. Most of the nice hotels in that area are not exactly inexpensive.
The room was comfortable and quiet. Our room had a small refrigerator and a one cup coffee maker. The flat screen TV offered about 50 channels, many of which were in real HD rather than analog mode. Free WiFi is available in the lobby. WiFi in the room had a fee.
Our stay was made more enjoyable by the proximity to restaurants, transportation, and the cruise port. The Silver Line 1 Bus costs $2.50 for each person to/from any Logan terminal to within a block of the hotel. We took a cab to the pier because it was raining a bit - fare $5.50 plus tip. We walked back from the pier to the hotel on the return from the cruise pulling our luggage. It was an easy walk. The Renaissance stored our luggage for us while we ate lunch and walked around the waterfront. We returned to Logan on the Silver Line 1 bus. The Silver Line bus stop coming from Logan is a block away from the Silver Line bus stop going to Logan. Both stops are very close to the hotel.
A deli is around the corner and across the street from Legal Seafood, Del Frisco, and a sports bar. A 7-11 and a Dunkin Doughnut stores ares nearby. We bought drinks, snacks, and pastries at the deli rather than snacking/drinking in the restaurants. Everyone in the hotel and in the area were very nice to us. We would definitely stay here again.
