10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jeff, 2-night trip

Nice, cheap motel at a good distance from the downtown area. The motel room itself was clean and had a nice smell. Very solid for the price.

For the price, it’s great!

For the price it’s amazing. Doesn’t look like much from the outside but on the inside it exceeded my expectations. Amazing location and comfy stay! Front desk was wonderful. I’d definitely stay here again!
Lydia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Economical choice

Our check in was quick and friendly, and the owner was great. The room was clean, and tidy. Its fairy bare bones, 1 soap bar 1 roll of TP. The bed and pillows aren't very comfortable, but i would stay again. It was a great price, and a reasonable walking distance to downtown. Upside, the property had a really friendly cat.
Eden, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Walking distance to major sports stadiums and cheap, with parking. Room was clean, but A/C was weak.
Jeff, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice view of the Motorcity Casino! walking distance to downtown about 15-20 mintures, which is not bad. Great location.
Jose Luis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good place when flying solo, wouldn't take the family.
Andrew, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Got the job done

For what it is, it got the job done pretty well. It’s cheap, very close to dt, and an ok place to crash quickly. The bed was clean and comfortable, there were clean towels and hot water, and free cable tv. The AC worked great, and the minor water issue we had was resolved in no time. It sure beat the $400/night staying dt det.

Solid choice for a budget motel. Loved being in the core for a reasonable price. Condition of room is quite dated, but not bad at all.

Cassie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good Value

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.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lady at desk was nice. Male was very rude. Shower drain backs up and takes awhile to drain.
Joseph, 3-night trip

Not a walkable area. Go here if you want to take your life into your own hands.

A bargain!!! Room was clean and staff were courteous. For the money...you cannot do better.
