Banquet Hall Dinner Disaster
Pros:

The Banquet Hall Food was a total disaster, the food was half cooked, no seasoning, we paid thousands of dollars, and everyone was complaining about the food, no one really ate the food, it was all horrible, we had 130 family members from over 9 different states, and the Detroit committee was embarrassed

Great Location, Friendly Staff, and Wonderful Stay!
Pros:

All the staff members I interacted with were very nice, friendly, and welcoming. I would have given the hotel a 10/10 if there had been daily room cleaning. Other than that, everything was perfect. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay, and the hotel’s central downtown location was definitely a plus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

Pros:

The patio was perfect after a long day at the festival to just sit have a drink, feel the night air. While listening to good music.

Cons:

That the hotel double charged me paid thru booking up front not to have this issue only to look at my account and they have pulled and are pulling more out my account

If you’re not on a high floor, the view sucks. My room was much more of a mess compared to last time. I’m disappointed t
Pros:

I didn’t hear the rooms next to me, beds comfy, and walking distance from a lot downtown

Cons:

Our shower was very clogged, I could hear doors slamming all early morning, paying for parking the price is very high compared to other hotels, ice wasn’t on our floor, our view sucked being on a low floor, and I called lost and found about a key and have yet to hear back.
