    Great value. Met expectations. This is a great choice for a no frills, quick stay, especially if you are going to a…

    Bed was comfortable. Mostly had what we needed/wanted. Clean and comfortable stay. Staff was very nice. Very good value for short visit to the city for a concert.

    Less good: Didn’t locate an ice machine and only one small thin plastic cup so nothing to make coffee in even though there was a coffee maker.

    8.0Very good

    This is an older mom and pop motel downtown and fully met my expectations. It was withing walking or biking distance of most things I wanted to see including Comerica Park, Motown Museum, riverfront park and the downtown architectural walking tour. While it was not all shiny and new like the chain motels it was clean and comfortable and the TV, fridge, bathroom, beds, etc. were all in good condition, and the staff was very kind and helpful with information. Neighborhood was safe and it was on a bike trail. I would highly recommend it as an excellent value in downtown Detroit for those like me who don't have a problem with an older motel.

    8.0Very good

    Came for a concert, stayed 2 nights, would book again for another short stay.

    The owner clearly cares about the property. It is well lit, secured and feels safe. They are updating what they can, and for the rate you really can’t beat it. It’s super super close to everything in Detroit you could want to do.

    Less good: Honestly, maybe more towels in the room from the start, but otherwise no complaints. They’re doing great!

    If you just need a place to sleep for a good price and parking book it.

    Location and parking are great. We walked to a show at Comerica Park about 17 min

    Less good: The sheets were dirty. A few outlets didn’t work.

    Safe and friendly!

    I stayed there for a whole week. First time in Detroit and first time staying at a motel in the US alone as a girl, I was quite worried about safety. Upon my arrival, the male manager (Shane) was very helpful in explaining why my concerns lacked basis. He very generously changed my room twice at the beginning because I initially thought I might be more comfortable in those rooms regarding my concerns (I believe they didn't differ at all at the end of the day). He just responded very patiently, nicely, and respectfully to my concerns. He also checked a few times to see if my concerns had been resolved and if I was feeling safe and all right. In fact, both managers were nice and helpful. The female manager accommodated an early check-in. I frequently left my laptop and other precious belongings at the motel (I usually don't in a rental), and it wasn't a problem. I'd give a 10 for safety and staff. The place was also very quiet and only a 1-minute walk from the bus line 3, which I frequently used.

    Less good: I have nothing negative to say, except to remind you that you're not going to get a fancy place by any means. Just a very basic space to stay for a work trip or, otherwise, a cheap one. If you need to be downtown, this is definitely worth it. Although the place is downtown, I still had to take the bus frequently, and I didn't find Detroit to be a pedestrian-friendly city. So maybe I could have stayed somewhere farther from downtown.
