The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place
The helpful staff and the convenient location to shopping areas and dining options made everything worth the while. The room was comfortable, clean and relaxing as well.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff is fantastic. Always ready to help. Its not the most up to date rooms but it is fair for the price and the area. I would stay again when I'm in Detroit here for sure!
It was a very nice place to stay. It was very quiet place and close to food that is walking distance. It was very clean in the room and plenty of room if you had a more than 2 people that’s all I had staying there.
Staff was super kind and accommodating but the bathroom had black mold and the room smelled like barn animals.

Room was clean. Halls could use new carpets. And building inside could use some updating. There was a fridge & microwave. However no coffee in the room or lobby. Staff was friendly & helpful.
Room was affordable.

Friendly staff, far below average room
Staff was friendly. That was the only real positive. Cleanliness and maintenance were an issue.
Towels were worn and stained, the bed was so worn out when you sit down you can feel the strings in the mattress. Also, the air conditioning did not blow enough cool air to keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
The staff were very nice and helpful. Unfortunately the place is very run down. We changes rooms as first room was dirty. 2nd room was only marginally better. Have outlets didn't work, a/c didn't work properly and walls had stains that looked like throw up. Staff though tried very hard to be helpful during stay.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff did their best, but the sink in bathroom could not empty water, the shower sprayed all over the place, the hallway carpets were stained dirty, the noisy refrigerator kept me awake during the night. Some of the furniture was decrepit; the back parking lot was dark and desperately needs lighting to discourage would be theives, etc. A bad experience, but I trust for the immigrant people who seem to be running the place that attention can be given to bring this facility to a higher rating. It certainly has a great location.
No renovation in this area
No renovation in the parking lot
Dirty on the stairs
No cleaning in the air changers.
No cleaning somewhere in the room.
But good welcome, there are friendly.
The front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The room however was dark. Lampshades were ripped, bathroom light didnt even work. The tv speaker sounded like it was busted.
Check in wasn’t friendly, carpet leading to room needs replaced, very dirty and not good. Rooms are small, bathrooms in room are not clean, lots of stains, no hot water, not enough towels for everyone in the room, the bathtub felt like it was gonna go through the floor. Room was ok, AC barely worked.

Overall outdated property, strange smells, not great bathroom lighting, and the surrounding area was not great, it's not anywhere someone should walk around on foot without a car in reach. The pavement is cracked in the parking lot, and the entrances are not very accessible. No ramps, etc. If you have physical disabilities, this property will be very challenging for you. The price is decent, location for concerts for people who don't want to camp is ideal, but this is a bare minimal kinda spot.
