Great location and value for money. Well equipped tidy and comfortable. You need to get the 261 smart bus from the airport into Detroit which takes an hour unfortunately, but the bus stops almost outside.

This is not a typical Marriott property. It was a studio with only one uncomfortable chair. The sheets were stained and thin. The lighting in the elevators was very dim and lights for some floor buttons didn’t work. The treadmill in the gym didn’t work. The coffee maker was great, washer/dryer in room and bed was comfortable. Staff was very nice. Location is great!! If the price is right, it is ok but you may want to keep looking…

I was in town for a wedding over the weekend. But you could comfortably stay 7 to 14 days. It's clean and comfortable, very happy! And in walking distance of a lot entertainment.

The room is spacious and has a very nice view of the city. House keeping needs to properly sweep and mop the floors, they’re hard work they require it. Bring socks or slides/sandals to walk around.

This is the only property that I would stay at in downtown Detroit. It is in walking distance of anything you have for any event. It has amazing five star dining, fast food, shopping, the belt, and so much more all in walking distance. In addition to all of that, it also is only a four minute walk to the people mover (which is free) that will take you anywhere else you want in the city. It’s incredibly safe. The front door security and staff were amazing. This was better than staying at any hotel I have ever stayed at in Detroit. Incredible for families because there are multiple beds and a pullout sofa. Beautiful views. Washer and dryer. Anything you could possibly want! We look forward to coming back!

Location is great, very central. Check in is quick and easy. Rooms look a bit worn but the bed was the worst part. Extremely uncomfortable, the frame was broken and the mattress was sunken in leading to a very uncomfortable sleep. The sheets need replacing and the pillows are terrible.

Overall a successful stay. Found it odd that, although I knew we couldn’t get into our unit until after 4 p.m., we couldn’t even use the keypad to get into the lobby before then. We were only a few minutes early but still had to stand on the sidewalk in downtown Detroit and wait along with other visitors. There was also no staff around, so thankfully we figured stuff out on our own. We’d gotten a notice a few days before our stay that one of the elevators was broken down, so I was prepared for that, but the one that did work was still super slow. But once we actually got to the apartment, it was clean, spacious, and we had a beautiful view. I would stay here again having a better idea of what to expect for staying in an apartment-style area rather than a hotel.

er apartment building in downtown is becoming a hotel with Marriott. Keyless entry to front door & apartment door (a passcode is sent by email a couple days ahead). As you enter, there are Staff at front desk. Elevator. Front door entry pad doesn’t always work well, but everything else went smoothly. Nice kitchen and bathroom. Nice view out to Michigan Ave from our 8th floor apartment. Parking across street costs $30 overnight — a $5 discount for Sounder folks. It was a good place for 4 adults, 2 couples since each got a room. Had our breakfast there with our coffee and food — they have utensils & all appliances. Recommend.
