Good location, close to a lot of stuff downtown. Older building but the rooms were in good condition and clean. Everything worked as it should. The bathroom door latch would stick a little and had to rotate knob to make it close but wasn't a big deal. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking lot was enclosed with a wall making access more restricted and safer. Accidentally left my car unlocked overnight and had no problems. I would stay there again.

The host was very accomodating. It's within walking distance to both Wayne State and downtown arenas, and it's well worn but comfortable. Would stay here for sure next time I'm in Detroit.
