Hip spot, great service, rooms need a little TLC.
Great spot, nice vibe, big rooms that are very quiet for being downtown. Staff was great and food in lobby restaurant was tasty. Only complaint is beds were a bit stiff and room could have been a little cleaner/better maintained.

Solid choice
Property is nice, well decorated. Room was starting to show small signs of wear and tear but was very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Onsite restaurant has good food but it’s pricey and the service was very slow. Convenient location and overall would stay there again.

Nice idiosyncratic hotel
Charming, if a bit odd. It clearly wasn’t designed to be a hotel. My room was very large and comfortable. The shower is big and luxurious.
I didn’t dine in the restaurant but got a croissant to take out. It was made in house and remarkably good. I wish I’d had a meal in the restaurant.
Try to avoid a run in the back side of the hotel, especially on the lower floors. There’s noise and the trash dumpster every morning around 5:30, especially on Thursday when the trash trucks arrived.

Cobo hall video screen should have a night light
Great facility and great service. However, our room faced Cobo Hall (now called something else) with a very big video screen that was on all night long and the blinds didn’t screen out the pulsating color changes. Also one side of the room was very dark

Restaurant/bar connected to hotel was way overpriced. Wouldn’t mind the prices if the services was on point.
