Courtyard

Nice clean hotel close to all down town attractions. Rooms were up to date and attractive, however our bed was not very comfortable. I don't think the Courtyard features Marriott's signature bed. Be prepared to pay $20 a day for parking!

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Bed was not very comfortable.

This hotel was a breeze to get to and was extremely clean. The room was much larger than expected for the price I paid. The room was set up different than any hotel room I have ever been in; the bed was facing the window. The view from the 17th floor was very nice.

Positives: It was convenient to the locations I needed to go.

Negatives: I didn't get to spend enough time int eh AWESOME room.

I oversee multiple chains in the Michigan region, mainly IHG properties. I was extremely impressed with the Marriott brand and the quality of standards I received. The expectations I have walking into a hotel is very high, and they met each one. Starting from checking into the hotel with friendly smiling staff, to the room where it was dust free including the PTAC units and tops of door trims, then the bathroom had no mold or mildew in the caulk or grout. VERY IMPRESSIVE to see a nice shiny shower and toilet. Detail and service is the key to success, and this property shows this in all areas with the exception of the Valet service. I would personally say that area needs attention in providing faster service, along with friendly service. The hotel would rate at a perfect 10 if it wasn't for the valet dept under performing and brining the hotels overall team down. If anything, make sure to get breakfast, the presentation and experience of a personal cook is priceless.

Positives: She was one of the GSR's and was very pleasant and helpful. Great employee to have work for you.

Negatives: Power was out upon arrival, valet dept is horrible, they had no clue what they were doing and was very short staffed and unorganized.

Positives: The pool/fitness center, its location.

Negatives: Housekeeping overlooked my room, front desk took care of it.

I have stayed at the property before and would recommend it for a stay in downtown Detroit. It is newly renovated and convenient to the Renaissance Center and other downtown amenities. There is a people mover stop at the hotel.

Positives: Very large, clean comfortable rooms.

Negatives: Very weak shower head, poor sign age from parking garage to lobby.

Valet prices, and no self parking available, would be my only complaint. Everything else was great.

Negatives: Valet prices, and no self parking available.

Excellent staff, clean, felt safe on hotel property, good location if you need to be downtown. Parking was not as inconvenient as I feared. Make sure you understand though that parking is not included in room fee.

Positives: Clean, nicely decorated, large rooms, good location if you need to be downtown.

Negatives: Insufficient parking area for loading purposes. Would like to be able to smoke in outdoor areas (only) but could only smoke on city property.

I was not disappointed. The check-in was fast, friendly and helpful. The room was clean, contemporary, almost upscale in appearance. It was extremely quiet (I was on the 11th floor) and the air conditioning worked perfectly. We asked for and got a late check out and were allowed to put our bags in our car and then leave the car for the rest of the day at no extra charge. The fee for the valet parking was $20.00 but was very worth it. We were told we could self-park for $10 but decided not to because of huge crowds for the jazz festival. At night you must show your key to get to your room and that made me think it was dangerous outside, but I was happy and the person checking was very nice. I recommend this hotel highly.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Every single person was great!

Negatives: No Wi-Fi. but it did have high speed modem.

Everything was beyond expectation except for the fact that at check-in I was asked to provide my credit card for incidentals and at check-out was charged the $20 mandatory valet parking fee to my credit card. I believe mandatory valet parking is not an incidental item.

Positives: Spacious, accommodating, nice view.

Negatives: At check-in I was asked to provide my credit card for incidentals, but at check-out was charged for the mandatory valet parking fee of $20.

Negatives: Breakfast buffet was very poorly stocked and the food was cold.

Again, we stayed at two hotels and I can't properly describe how excited and pleased we were with our experiences. The hotels were in the exact locations we needed, it was definitely upscale and luxurious and it truly made our trip worth while. We were treated respectfully.

Positives: We stayed at two different hotels, both were a wish come true!

Negatives: Expensive valet parking, but still nice to have.

My spouse, I and another couple came down for the night to go to the three casinos in Detroit. Having the Detroit people mover right in the building was convenient. Not having parking was not.

Positives: Very convenient location - with the Detroit People Mover.

Negatives: There is not free parking with this hotel.
