A City Gem
Overall, it was a pretty good stay. The city view was awesome. The apartment provided just about everything you may need for short and long-term stays. The location is wonderful, downtown Detroit. It's located within walking distance to restaurants, stores, markets, entertainment, ice skating, etc. The code system used for entry into the main door and the apartment, made me feel secure. It was quiet. The Staff were available during the day. My only concerns were the temperature in the apartment, it was too chilly/cold for me. The heating system did not provide adequate heating. However, the available space heater made all the difference. Also, the mattress on the bed was not comfortable and possibly, should be replaced. I would definitely stay again.

Not impressed—cold & smokey
Older building with some modern updates. Freezing cold with only 1 heat source (luckily over the bed). Most of the space was extremely cold and uncomfortable. Dank/smoke smell in the entire unit. Shower leaked with a constant drip. Very noisy from the street level all night. Also, no one there upon arrival — getting in wasn’t an issue as someone staying there held the door for us. When we entered the room we were hit with bitter cold temps and a terrible cigarette smell. We also found trash cans with waste in them (bathroom) as if the cleaning crew just came through.

The people were freindly and took care of our needs quickly, the rooms were clean and it was nice to have the privacy of an apartment when were done running around town. This property was within walking distance of several restaurants, markets and the stadium. The downtown area was clean and safe. My only issue were to do with the cosmetics of the property and the windows, it was apparent that this property was renovated and could've possibly used a little more TLC when doing so and the windows were so drafty we had to have the heater at max to keep the room warm while sleeping.

Great location, value, and suite. The main front door is a bit “buggy” and likely needs a replacement as sometimes imputing codes didn’t work.

Location was great. Staff onsite was great. Dealing with the Sonders App at 1:30am was a bad experience as we had issues with our room. The person we were dealing with must have been from another city as they had no remorse or understanding to our issue. At the end we were assigned a new room at 2:45am.

The area was great with lots of shopping and eating within a short walk. The apartment style was fantastic especially with kids. The parking was a bit tricky as the garage with security was a block away. This was not fun in the cold and rain. The actual property felt very safe and comfortable. I would stay again.

This is a very successful cheap renovation of an underused downtown commercial property. High ceilings, quite large space and apartment amenities. The only drawback : being certain to negotiate the app so that you get the codes you need to enter the building and your room. The building is kitty-corner from the Cadillac BookWestin at 561 USD the night. Location, location, location!

This was a good value for what we paid. It was nice having a small kitchen. Location is great. The only problem was that the bed was really uncomfortable. We didn’t sleep well at all. Other than that, it’s a good value.

Disappointing
Unit was not cleaned when we arrived first night. Bedding on floor, mattress pad stained, bag of garbage left on bedside table. We had to wait until next day before cleaning happened. Wifi went down for most of the 2nd day. Fire alarm pulled early morning on 3rd day. Unit was fine apart from cleanliness issue and location good. They did refund partially for inconvenience which was appreciated.
