Horrible
To start off this place is located in a terrible neighborhood. Everything from the staff to the property and to hotels.com were horrible . First night my private parking was taken and the solution I was given was you can pay park 10 blocks away. The handicapped spots are not available because they are private. Next the shower was clogged and water puddling up enough to cover my feet. (No pictures sorry I don’t shower holding my phone). When I called hotels.com about the shower I was told to go talk to guy downstairs at the desk. Only problem was that he was outside smoking In order to cover the stench of alcohol coming from his breath. So he was no help, he couldn’t even figure out how to check us in. The internet didn’t work so no tvs were working. When I called about that again I was told to go speak to the drunk guy downstairs.Forget about sleeping because the noise that comes in thru windows form the cars racing by or the drunk hobos singing or the police and ambulances every 10 minutes it’s impossible.I could on and on but point is this place is horrible!!!!!

The apartment was very nice, but the outside noise was a huge issue - traffic & pedestrian sounds, and music from the bar below the unit, were all very loud and kept us awake most of the night.

My kids would call this place sus. As in not quite legit. First of all the neighborhood is sketchy. We live in Detroit and like grit . This is more than that . An armed guard with a machine gun at the local gas station at 7 pm. Just sayin’. The parking lot across the street is strewn with garbage and not fully asphalted. The building is a cheap renovation of a cheap school or industrial building with cheap and frankly ugly furniture and decor. The main areas in each floor and the elevators smell like weed . Frankly , it is low rent housing that someone is using as an investment. Not only is it not legit overnight rental , it feels potentially unfair to people who might need to rent the places . The room itself , once we made it through the parking, neighborhood and common area , was fine . Clean and well equipped for what it was. Only 2 towels with no access to more . Overall, i dont think it should be listed on Hotels.com, is not worth the price and i discourage others from renting .

Looks great, but is average.
Floor outside of door was soaked and there was a barrel with stagnant water. The entire hallway smelled horrible. The microwave did not work either, so we were unable to reheat our food. The shower was not cleaned and the toilet seat was broken. Overall, this was not a great experience for us.

The Apartments are really good value for money and ideal for groups wanting to share communal spaces. The surrounding area isn’t the best & the games room needs refreshing as everything is looking old & ruined. The golf simulator was fun. And the bar adjoined to the Civic is really good too, lots of drinking options, great food & brilliant staff.
