This hotel is in a good location. They failed to disclose they are under construction and that the fitness facilities were closed. There was hair and mold in the bathtub, and food from a previous guest had been left in room fridge.

Overall good experience. The lobby is under construction but everything else was done. First impression walking in was a bit odd but you don’t go to a hotel for the lobby, you go for the rooms and those were nice.

Breakfast was saving grace. When checking in we had to move twice. Third time was a charm. First room had dirty bedspread and trash. Second room sheets were piled on bed unmade, trash in room and bathroom not cleaned. Front desk stag was excellent in hell g make it right. He saved the day (and two evenings).

No self laundromat. Saw a huge cockroach in my room during my last night of stay (staying 4nights), and I couldn’t sleep well because I didn’t know it will come to my bed while I was sleeping!! Other than those, should be a decent hotel.

What a pleasant surprise this hotel was. Our room was brand newly decorated and so clean and spacious. Beds and pillows were super comfy. The bathroom has a wonderful mirror with great lighting for putting on makeup. Most of the toiletries are name brand Dove. The only weird thing was no body lotion. But I brought my own. The free breakfast is really decent, with lots of filling and healthy options. The location was perfect for us. Last time I stayed at one of the expensive hotels in Birmingham that are twice the price. I actually liked this better, more spacious, practical and relaxing!

I enjoyed my stay here, king suite was 140 a night tax and I stayed here truly for the tub. The room had a jacuzzi tub with jets and it was exactly what I needed and 10/10 would recommend for the location as well as it’s right near downtown Detroit 5-10 min away from almost everything. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. There were a few small things we needed and the staff was very accommodating. I will probably stay here again in the near future.

An urban hotel with a small town feel. Easily located hotel right off of Woodward Avenue and within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. A short car ride from the trendy towns of Ferndale and Royal Oak. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous and made me feel welcome as soon as I walked in the door. This will be my place to stay when I am in the Detroit area.
