Newly Renovated 2-Bedroom Oasis in the Heart of Midtwn/Downtwn Detroit w/theater

8/10 Good

"Overall a very solid experience! The property genuinely looks better in person than in the pictures which says something. Street parking is generally available and in a safe neighborhood. Some communication delays at times, but received everything that I needed to for the check-in process. Only points of note were the WiFi/shower functionality, but these were more observations than concerns. Would highly recommend for someone looking to visit downtown without the $1k price tag of hotels."
