My money was charged,but they claimed "your booking is cancelled" no refund after a month.
Pros:

I will take out this review after a refund is given. i am not writing here to sabotage a business because very rarely i leave a negative review

Cons:

THIS SECOND BOOKING WAS FOR MY FRIEND AS A GIFT.. I CAME AND THE MAN AT RECEPTION SAID THAT THE BOOKING HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR MY FRIEND EVEN THAT I PAID FOR IT.

(please check cameras and see that I came with my friend to check him in the hotel on that day after 4PM time in Detroit 22nd of june!)


the man at the reception in evening took time to check my booking from my phone eventually to say that my booking has been cancelled by hotel, I was surprised because I had paid for everything and have all the proof. On that day of the fireworks we stood in a long row for almost 2 hours for a checking just to find out that they had no room for my friend that i paid for.

However Hotel didnt cancelled the booking ,because I checked i had no refund in my card. I was feeling bad when on the busiest day of fireworks my friend had nowhere to stay. Car parks were all full and roads were closed. At some point i gave up that they will give me money back as i wrote many messages and got no response. I have proof of being charged and conversations saved.

At some point i gave up thinking that they will give me a refund, however booking. com contacted me that they are aware that my friend was never checked in on that day.. so i have hope to get the 300 euro back.

Nobody communicating, refund not given for second booking-friend left without a room,careful.
Pros:

Will remove this review after i receive my money back for my other booking 22 june-23 rd june ,otherwise i will take this further to court if booking com doesnt help. ( I have all proof)

Cons:

I wrote messages on my other booking - no response
I purchased 2 days room for my friend- just to be told that -your booking has been cancelled after standing 2 hours in a row on busiest day of fireworks, but they are keeping the money for my other booking for 1 month. (Booking. com has stepped in)
please check cameras

- couldnt enter my own room on the day of going back to airport when room card suddenly stopped working- almost missed my 8 hrs flight back home because of long rows of people.
some woman complaining in the background when i came in row first for an emergency (otherwise would missed the flight)

very frustrating experience that caused more money loss that expected.

Pros:

Location
Staff

Cons:

•The maid didn't clean the room for 3 nights and 4 days after we requested it be cleaned 2 times.

•Did not have towels for bathing.

•Requested a blanket on day 1, but it took them 2 days to deliver it.

•ADA Violations- We tried to go to the Anidamo Restaurant in the hotel area and to take the People Mover to Greek Town. There was no way to reach these locations because the elevators to them were out of service; I use a mobility scooter and could not use the escalator.

Decent One-Night Stay
Pros:

I liked my stay at the Marriott at the Renaissance Center. I find it surprising how many reviewers on here are complaining about the service. I thought all of the staff were friendly!

The rooms are beautiful as well...very spacious and comfortable! While the windows take up an entire side of the room, they have huge room-darkening curtains that easily block out all of the light. I had no problem getting a decent night's rest.

The one and only minor issue that I ran into was that the garbage can in my room was about three-quarters of the way full with chip bags, candy wrappers, and pop bottles. Housekeeping should have been a bit more diligent.

Also, do not stay if you just want the scenery. It is not guaranteed. I was placed in a room on the 16th floor that faced two of the outer four office towers. I have to admit that it would have been nice if I got a room facing downtown or Windsor, but I had to take what they gave me.

A Final Note About Safety: I can understand the fear of crime with the location being in the heart of Detroit, but downtown is generally quite safe and I had zero issues. No car break-ins or anything. They have security guards protecting the premises 24 hours a day. Plus, the elevators are locked and you have to scan your room key to access all of the guestroom floors.

I would not mind staying again!

Best part of stay was valet service and our breakfast server. Location is excellent, and views almost offset the low to
Pros:

Restaurant server and valet attendant were both outstanding! They were friendly, honest and attentive. Huge asset to the hotel.

Cons:

Bathroom sink faucet broke-would not turn off. Tissue box nearly empty and no back up. Lamp on desk not working. Breakfast —poached eggs completely overcooked—like hard boiled eggs; fruit alternative was old.

Awesome, awesome awesome
Pros:

That location was perfect. The parking garage straight across the street. customer service was excellent . The Riverview could not have been matched. 59th floor 🥰

Cons:

The bed was just a bit uncomfortable for me. And I did order breakfast. The eggs were not what I ordered. I ordered medium well poached eggs, and they came out very runny. The next time I stay I definitely will go for the breakfast buffet. It was very beautiful displayed.

Poor Concierge Services
Pros:

I tried a zillion different ways to reach concierge services to order a gift to be left in my daughter's hotel room who will be arriving on Monday, June 8th & staying for four days. There was no way to reach a real person to do this through the various phone numbers provided. The company should rely a bit less on bots & spend on real people!
