Go Lions!!!
Came into town to watch the Lions play the SF 49ers and was only going to be into town for an overnight stay. Everything was smooth from the check-in, the sleep and the check out. Can't complain, would stay here again if I was going to have another quick trip.

Breakfast has no egg or meat. I saw guests just grabbing coffee, there was nothing to eat. If breakfast is part of your decision making process, then this place is absolutely not a good choice!

Nice place. Our flight was cancelled so we needed a convenient place. We searched on airport shuttle service and included breakfast. This had both, only to find out the shuttle doesn’t run late at night. $24 cab ride took care of that and the shuttle got us to the airport the next day. A few good restaurants nearby.

We like the parking garage is right next to the hotel. However the insulation for the room is very poor and we woke up by the loud walking noise from upstairs 1am, 3am. we can even hear their conversation !! We had a lousy sleep.

Unfriendly and unappealing. The hotel looks new but everything is cheap and poorly designed. I have no idea why the reviews are so good.
