First time I stayed here all was well. Second time was a complete opposite. The room had a lot of damage around it. But the main issue is that the room wasn’t cleaned well at all. Floor was sticky, counters were sticky, remote to TV was extremely sticky as well as the alarm clock. Bed was made-up but pillows looked as if someone had been sleeping on them. Could see outside the door with it closed. Bathroom was clean. Had to also ask for towels as the room only had 1. When I went down to ask front desk, she was literally folding towels, so gave me a few. Would not stay in again.

This is an excellent room. Very affordable and clean. One of the best I've been to for the price in the area. Outstanding staff.

We had a problem with our reservation on the second day—we were staying during Techno Week in Detroit—but they resolved it very well. They were friendly, and the hotel is clean and comfortable.
