The hotel has a decent location just a short distance from downtown Detroit, making it convenient for my personal business needs. However, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the rooms, and the service left much to be desired. The dining options were also hit-or-miss, with some quality food but overall lackluster service. While the location is a plus, I don't see myself returning due to the other issues I experienced.

I had high hopes for this hotel given its fantastic location right on the Detroit waterfront. The rooms were spacious, but there were some maintenance issues that really detracted from the experience. The service was a bit chaotic, especially during a busy weekend. While the breakfast options were quite limited, the view from the hotel was a major highlight. Overall, it has great potential but needs some improvements in service and amenities for a better experience.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, just steps from the waterfront, and I enjoyed the beautiful views. However, the room situation was disappointing as I had to switch rooms due to a water issue in the first one, and the second one was drafty and outdated. Service was also a bit lacking as I experienced long waiting times and some confusion with my booking. All in all, I feel like it could use some improvements but it has potential thanks to its location.
