We had a great 2 night stay. Room was clean, we made use of the washer dryer too. Super close to downtown. Parking lot available in a 2-3 min walking distance ($30 for 24h). Would stay here again.

The view of the city when you walk in to the room is so cool. The space feels open, clean, all usable. We didn’t stay long, but the staff was friendly, giving their personal recommendations and going the extra mile getting us into our room early.

Clean building, good location. Towel racks coming off the walls, bathroom clean but not the vent cover in the ceiling, shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers not properly installed in shower. Having another blanket on the bed would have been good.

Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was not very clean. There were stains on the duvet under the cover and lots of dust in the vents. Also the room only had heat in the bedroom and not in the bathroom, so was overall cold.

Spotless, great location, and the recommended parking lot across the street was very convenient. Terrific to have a full kitchen and washer/drier in the unit. The architecture of the unit was striking - we had a corner efficiency, with tall ceilings and large windows. Comfortable, quiet, spacious, and great value!

A City Gem

Overall, it was a pretty good stay. The city view was awesome. The apartment provided just about everything you may need for short and long-term stays. The location is wonderful, downtown Detroit. It's located within walking distance to restaurants, stores, markets, entertainment, ice skating, etc. The code system used for entry into the main door and the apartment, made me feel secure. It was quiet. The Staff were available during the day. My only concerns were the temperature in the apartment, it was too chilly/cold for me. The heating system did not provide adequate heating. However, the available space heater made all the difference. Also, the mattress on the bed was not comfortable and possibly, should be replaced. I would definitely stay again.

Not impressed—cold & smokey

Older building with some modern updates. Freezing cold with only 1 heat source (luckily over the bed). Most of the space was extremely cold and uncomfortable. Dank/smoke smell in the entire unit. Shower leaked with a constant drip. Very noisy from the street level all night. Also, no one there upon arrival — getting in wasn’t an issue as someone staying there held the door for us. When we entered the room we were hit with bitter cold temps and a terrible cigarette smell. We also found trash cans with waste in them (bathroom) as if the cleaning crew just came through.

The people were freindly and took care of our needs quickly, the rooms were clean and it was nice to have the privacy of an apartment when were done running around town. This property was within walking distance of several restaurants, markets and the stadium. The downtown area was clean and safe. My only issue were to do with the cosmetics of the property and the windows, it was apparent that this property was renovated and could've possibly used a little more TLC when doing so and the windows were so drafty we had to have the heater at max to keep the room warm while sleeping.

Great location, value, and suite. The main front door is a bit “buggy” and likely needs a replacement as sometimes imputing codes didn’t work.

Location was great. Staff onsite was great. Dealing with the Sonders App at 1:30am was a bad experience as we had issues with our room. The person we were dealing with must have been from another city as they had no remorse or understanding to our issue. At the end we were assigned a new room at 2:45am.
