The hotel felt quite outdated overall and in need of an update to avoid noise, but it provided a decent stay with some positive aspects. The service was warm and engaging, but the location didn't offer much for independent excursions, though it was satisfactory for the CBD. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of options, although a bit pricey. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.

The hotel has its highs and lows. The rooms are in need of an update, some lacking natural light, but the hot water is reliable. The service is friendly, with personal touches from the staff, although some areas like the 10th-floor conference room need attention. The location is peaceful with a nice city view, offering a serene atmosphere, though may limit city excursions. The dining experience is delightful, especially at the Barak Restaurant, with fresh organic products available. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel is situated in a business center in Detroit Michigan, offering a safe and serene environment with security presence for guests’ safety. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, very clean, and well-organized despite being in a busy area. However, the limited charging points and the absence of 2 pin adapters could be improved.

I was impressed by the hotel's convenient location with a city view and excellent safety measures. The service was outstanding, with a pleasant and polite staff ensuring a delightful stay. The dining experience was delicious, although it missed a side of rice for me. The rooms were amazing, but some without natural light like Sabaki may not be ideal for long meetings. However, the rooms could use a bit of a refresh to update their dated feel.

The hotel is conveniently located, close to town, and appears to be an upmarket Premier Inn. The rooms might be small for larger groups and show signs of not being used for a while, which could be improved. The service, however, goes above and beyond, with staff always ready to assist, including George, Lucy, Justus, Alice, Chef Ken, Paul, and Habakuk. The location is serene and accessible, albeit a bit isolated, like a 'no man's land. ' The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection and efficient room service. Overall, the facilities are decent, but there are areas that could use some updating.
