Good location, close to a lot of stuff downtown. Older building but the rooms were in good condition and clean. Everything worked as it should. The bathroom door latch would stick a little and had to rotate knob to make it close but wasn't a big deal. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking lot was enclosed with a wall making access more restricted and safer. Accidentally left my car unlocked overnight and had no problems. I would stay there again.

Liked the fact it was with in walking distance of anything you need. We felt safe walking day time or night. It was not the fanciest motel but it served its purpose for what we needed. Would definitely stay again if we go back to that area.

The host was very accomodating. It's within walking distance to both Wayne State and downtown arenas, and it's well worn but comfortable. Would stay here for sure next time I'm in Detroit.
