Excellent stay in a comfortable spacious modern hotel with outstanding staff, from front desk to housekeeping.
The property was really clean, fresh and modern. The lobby was spacious lots of plants and seating and the rooms were spacious with great views of Detroit, the rooms were also super clean and very modern.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and my experience was outstanding on both occasions. The staff was courteous, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring the area. The hotel's connection to the people mover was an added bonus. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it. Awesome

Great Location
The location was great. we were in walking distance of Ford Stadium and downtown Christmas ice skating
What we didn't like has nothing to do with the hotel, but restaurants closed very early and made finding food 8:30pm or later difficult.

It's a beautiful hotel, just right in the hearts of detroit a lot to see close to everything walking
The hotel was excellent. The lady at the desk, she was very helpful. We wanted a joined room. She made that happen. Complementary water, the room was clean. It's been renovated, nicely, definitely coming back in December.
Applebee's, the restaurant connected to the hotel was disgusting. There was a nail in my son's burger. They took that off the bill and gave us a 20% off. That's not acceptable disgusting and can make people sick 😒 we're sure I'm not going back again.

The front desk staff Richard and Noah were absolutely amazing, so nice and professional
Location close to all the main attractions, staff was amazing Richard and Noah at the front desk were superb. Staff at the IHop/Applebees was very nice and helpful. It was just an overall amazing experience

Surprisingly great stat.
The property has a recently been refreshed. The hotel (especially bathroom) was spotless, the location was great directly across from the GM renaissance and rooms were very large and well laid out. Best part was every single hotel staff we saw was beyond friendly.

Very disappointing
We arrived at 4:30 only to find out that our room wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be ready when we left the hotel to go to a concert. We have to change and get ready for event in a public bathroom. We asked for some monetary compensation but they said that nothing was available since we booked through a third party. This is the last time I will ever book via a third party. The staff was very apologetic but the experience was totally unacceptable and definitely not worth $556 per night.

Under renovation and said they would be finished by time of stay. They werent.

Noah the manager was very accomodating when the type of room wasn't available that I had originally purchased! He amde sure t have a room available the next day! I truly appreciate his kindness and determination.
There was nothing I did not like. There was coffee readily available downstairs at Ihop and Apple Bees was so convenient as well. Room was very clean!

Excellent downtown hotel!
The hotel was excellent. The staff were helpful and kind and very apologetic about the very minor construction in the lobby. But it didnt affect our stay in the slightest. Our room was brand new and very beautiful, comfortable, and modern. The view was amazing for our 5 year old grandson, who we were taking to Legoland. He loved looking out over the city in our room and out over the river by the elevator. The views were amazing! Having an Applebee's and IHop restaurant in the hotel, exclusive to hotel guests, was so convenient after a long day sightseeing. The city was abuzz with fans for the shows and hockey games, which meant long lines for every other downtown restaurant. It was so nice to go back to the hotel, be seated easily, and have a delicious meal without having to wait an hour plus. I will definitely be staying here again! 10 out of 10!
Nothing comes to mind!

It was okay. I would definitely choose a different hotel the next time I stay in Detroit.
The staff was great
I was double charged for my room. The charge will take 5 days to drop off leaving me out of over 300 dollars for that time. The tv didn’t work. The room never reached our desired temperature. The thermostat was set 5 degrees below what the room actually reached. The gym and pool were both unavailable

Great location downtown and very nice rooms.
Location close to St Andrews. Easy walk for a concert.
The construction workers doing the remodel beginning at 6am with hammering. Should probably wait until 9am. But the rooms and hotel is looking great.

Cleanliness, staff professionalism.
No humidity fan in the bathroom. You can hear the streat noise. And the bed was not the most compf

Hopefully better next time
Great position. Obviously run down and in need off the repairs they are currently doing which did not interfere with our stay
The in house restaurant was the worst place we have ever eaten at. Very slow service at night, no eating utensils provided. Two waitresses obviously “stoned” on duty. In the morning badly mixed pancake mix made them inedible!!

Mixed reviews-had 2 rooms for the weekend- one was HORRIBLE and other was good. Management sucked.
It was close to the people mover, pool was nice. One room was very nice and clean, other room was HORRIBLE musty and drywall all over the floor and management sucked with fixing issues with our room. Offered to have someone come vacuum next day and they ever showed before we left. We stayed the whole weekend.
The dry wall on our ceiling was falling off all over the floor, was told they would send someone up to clean it and they didn't (we stayed the whole weekend). Room also smelt very musty and not safe for my 3 year old. Also waiting 2 hours for towels at pool, luckily kids where content while waiting (we called front desk 3 times and other family did as well). Restaurants were WAYYYY understaffed and hotel also tried to make us pay for parking on both rooms but we only had ONE vehicle! Management did not offer anything to accommodate all the issues we had with the one room.

wouldn’t recommend staying here ever.
literally nothing
I cannot figure out how this hotel has such a high rating. it was dirty, very outdated, our room smelled like mold, the temperature in the room never dropped below 77 because they turned on the boilers and cannot turn them off. the staff was pleasant but that cannot make up for the hotel conditions.

Mediocre and over-priced.
Location was great. Bed was comfortable and pull out sofa was perfect for our 10 year old son.
The toilet was dirty. The cold water wasn't working when we got back to our room around 11:30 pm so the toilet wouldn't flush. The pool was closed and the pool is the main reason I chose this hotel.

Passable
I love the pool & hot tub
It was a old smell in the hotel. It was a little dated. I didn’t know you had to pay to park & that you would be charged additional fees at the time of check in.

Disappointing
The location was perfect for the application of why we were in the area. We were within walking distance of everything.
Despite having made advance reservations and pre-paid, we had to wait approximately 90 minutes to receive our room which made meeting a deadline impossible.

Location to Comerica Park. The bartender and manager stayed open late for concert goers to be able to get a bite to eat and that was very much appreciated. The rooms are spacious and beds are super comfortable!
People mover was not working and staff didn't know. We chose this hotel for that purpose to get to the concert. The price was very expensive. I've stayed there before for much less.

Nice hotel, bed was comfy. Has restaurants in the lobby and a little snack area. All in all not a bad place. Clean and accommodating
The restaurant was not open on a Saturday night. I'm sure staffing issues don't help that. A bit pricey for one night, but we were in town for a concert so maybe that didnt help
