Great Location for Attending Tigers Game

I drove to Detroit to attend a Tigers baseball game, and the Element Detroit was the perfect location for me, about a 5-minute walk to the ball park. The staff were all very friendly and helpful (thanks Daniel!), my room was clean and nicely appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and they provided a white noise machine (which was great because there was a good bit of mottorcyle noise outside!). The bathroom lighting was good (not the best), and the shower was very comfortable. The only downside is that there is no restaurant, but we found others close by that worked fine.

Everything was great about my stay except there was an awful, constant noise from the generator and some other periodic screeching noise. I assumed it was the whole property and not just room 301. If ever I should request a refund it should have been for this stay. The front desk staff was 10/10, the room looked nice, bed was comfortable, and it was very clean.
