Slightly disappointing
This one didn't go well from the beginning. I am a die hard Marriott person, and we picked this hotel for the convenience to Tigers Stadium. The parking garage that is attached to the hotel has nothing to indicate that Courtyard guests should park there. The only sign says "Public Parking." We puled up to the valet and asked where the parking was.
The public cannot park above level two in the garage (hotel guests are "the public"). It took us a while to find the crosswalk to the hotel, which is on level 3 because like the garage itself, it is not marked. Once we found the way to the hotel, we found ourselves in a little indoor shopping area and could not figure out where the lobby of the hotel was (no markings). We asked a store keeper for directions.
The front desk staff was friendly, but it seemed like we were supposed to know about the parking before we got there. The People Mover is in the same building and is convenient, but we had to figure that out for ourselves. I asked the front desk for directions on how to find it, but it seemed like anything else would have been asking too much.
We went to the cafe for dinner. The service was slow and if it wasn't for the female bartender - who was very nice, we may not have been served at all.
The room was nice and clean. But overall, I'm hard pressed to give this hotel any more than rating of 3.
