Shorecrest is awful!
I just spent 5 days at the Shorecrest. I'd stayed there a few years ago and remember it being affordable and clean, so when I accepted a job in Detroit and needed a place to stay, this was my first choice. Even though I discussed the condition of the hotel with one of the owners, he gave me attitude and explained that other rooms in the hotel were in much better condition than my room... was that suppose to make me feel better? Anyway, the floors were filthy! So bad I wouldn't touch them with my bare feet. Actually everything was filthy and what wasn't filthy didn't work -- including a very bad electric plug. Although I had maid service, they actually didn't leave me toilet paper, took the small soap I had by the sink and left me with a tiny sliver of soap that was in the shower. Wait that's one good thing, the shower had good hot water and good pressure. I'm baffled by the way I was treated when I could have been a long term resident, but after paying for one week, I was thrilled to get out. The owner kept telling me "you have to understand...." Well he needs to understand, people read these reviews and he's going to end up as an hourly pro-station if he doesn't get this place cleaned up. TOTAL RIP-OFF. Use Priceline and stay somewhere decent. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!
