Fun hotel if you want to stay in DTW
Great hotel. We've had dinner at the restaurant here twice so we were excited to stay here. Rooms are pretty quiet, especially for being in a large city. Beds/pillows very comfortable (and I'm fussy!). Staff was all very friendly. Rooms were large and the showers was great- more hotels need the temp handle on the wall opposite the shower head. Not quite as central to a lot of the places on Woodward but pretty short walk

We liked design of the room and bathroom as well as location. Could hear noises from chairs in other rooms due to no wall to wall carpeting. Staff could not share if there was recycling available and once no one picked up when we called for service. Bed was ok but felt a bit worn and too soft for my liking. Close to tram/train line for folks who are light sleepers.

Dawn, ADRIAN

Travelled with partner, Travelled with group
I really wanted to love this property and had high hopes at $500 a night, but it did not meet my expectations. The flooring and carpet looked worn, the bathroom had nowhere to set toiletries, and the shower head offered almost no water pressure. There was also no coffee maker, iron or ironing board. We went down to the hotel restaurant, The Apparatus Room, for breakfast at 9:00 am and were turned away because we did not have a reservation. The restaurant was almost empty, but were told the tables were reserved for people coming in later in the morning. We were then told we could sit at the bar and wait until 10:00 when the bar staff arrived. We declined and went to our room and ordered room service. Overall not a great experience. Next time we will spend our money elsewhere.
