Beautiful Hotel- Downtown Detroit
We just enjoyed a 2 night stay at this hotel this past weekend. The hotel is located smack downtown and within walking distance to all the attractions i.e. Cobo Hall, Joe Louis Arena, Ren Cen River Walk, MGM Casino, etc. If you don't feel like walking, there is a people mover located across the street that you can use and it will get you to anywhere within the perimeter of downtown. The fee is 75 cents per trip but be sure to have change to buy the tokens. There are no money change machines. Shopping is easy as the malls are all located right off the major highways. As per recommendations from the staff- check out Somerset Collection at the Big Beaver Rd exit off I-75N and a bit further north is the Great Lakes outlet mall. There are 2 restaurants that are independant of the hotel- Roast and Grille 21. Roast is owned by Iron Chef Michael Symons- you have to reserve 2 wks in advance. I am sure that the food is good but I don't wait nor line up for anyone. Besides, the Chef is at the Chicago location, not here. Grille 21 was rockin when we checked it out. What we enjoyed more was The Motor Lounge which belongs to the hotel- staff was friendly and provided good service. The lounge was nicely decorated with sofas, round sofas and comfy chairs. We really enjoyed our late night snacks and couple of drinks before retiring for the night. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant adjacent to the front desk- excellent staff and good breakfast selection. You won't regret eating here. The fitness centre was super clean, equipment well maintained and clean. It even smelled clean. The pool was same as the staff was on hand in both faiclities to ensure towels were replenished and kept clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again. 
Lastly, when I booked the reservation for this property, I already knew that there is valet parking and associated fee for this service. The valet attendants were very attentive and quick to park or retrieve our car. The cost is $25+ tax or you can park in the attached garage for $10 but no in and out privileges. Because this is such a popular hotel, there may be a wait for your car but this is minor considering the service they provide.
