Decent Hotel
Like much of Detroit, the hotel is a past time. It is old but has been kept up well. The staff was friendly and helpful. 
The Riverwalk is a nice area of walkiing. I wouldn't advice getting far off the Riverwalk though. There is nothing around the Hotel. The nearest main road is Jefferson, but it is a bit run down.
I had trouble finding the hotel on my GPS with an address of 1000 River Place. My GPS only went up to 699 River Place. If you continue past the Rattle Snake Club on Riverplace you will eventually get to the hotel at the end of the block.
