Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable. We were able to Uber to Little Caesars Arena and back with little trouble and it was not too expensive. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Cons:

The parking situation was confusing for first time guests, with the location it was difficult to park on the street while checking in and inquiring about parking options so we ended up paying $40 to park in the lot next to the hotel. Knowing this, we will be able to avoid that next time.

Not very good but I’m alive I guess got bit up by some type of mites or something not sure
Pros:

The fact that it is downtown and that it’s close to a gas station but I just was disappointed in the lack of sleep I got from the neighbors and everyone being loud yelling and disturbing the peace running around being ignorant

Cons:

The bug bites I got and the fact I though it was my eczema flaring up but I was but bites all over my legs and arm been having consistent sweats and skin irritation not sure what but me and my fiancé came to the conclusion that it might be mites of sum type

I would re-book when coming back to Detroit. Dominique was great and such a help when we arrived.
Pros:

The property was close and easy to walk to all the cool spots in the winter. Walking to little Cesars Arena was an easy 20 mins
The property was also really clean and the staff were so attentive.

Cons:

I have to say I liked everything. I found the property excellent and loved the little touches to make you feel more relaxed and adding that personal touch.
