Renaissance and Homewood in these specific instances are fine options because both properties are in good shape.
Hopefully you meant Residence Inns. If you actually did mean Renaissance, then they are in a league way above either the Homewood or RI. Renaissance are full service, which means they have room service, proper restaurant(s) available for breakfast, lunch or dinner, concierge lounge, MUCH better beds, bathrooms and amenities, and in the case of the Renaissance Meadowlands they also provide free HSIA so not a differentiating factor in this case.
