Thanks everyone for chiming in.
Just about to wrap up my stay at The Renaissance.

I picked Renaissance over Westin because of close proximity to AVIS. The hotel is decent. It looks tired outside, but all redone inside, lobby and restaurant are all nice and fresh. They didn't give me a suite (though that seemed to be fair as the hotel was sold out a few days prior to my arrival), but a Club lever room. That seems to be a pretty nice standard room on a club floor, also renovated with fresh design and furniture. Soundproof is good, plus I've got a pretty close up view on descending aircraft right from a bed.

Lounge
Closed on Fri eve and Sat, so didn't get to use it.

Breakfast
As the lounge was closed I was provided a full breakfast in their main restaurant, which was fine by international standards or very good by US standards. Omelette station (very well done omelettes, lots of fillings to choose from), above average sausages, French toasts, fresh fruits, salmon - all were available.
I didn't need to fight for a breakfast, the check in agent explained everything like its a standard procedure (so I don't know why the hotel is listed as a no full breakfast property in Marriott Bonvoy T&C). On top of that I got 1000 points as welcome amenity which is not bad for $120 stay. In Westin I would have to pick a full breakfast instead of points.

All in all can recommend it.
