Detroit Metro Airport Marriott

Had a one night business visit where this hotel was the most convenient given the travel arrangements and meetings. The staff was great. The restaurant had a very limited menu, suggesting a kitchen issue. Rooms were a bit run down and not updated. An update is really needed. Old carpet. Cracking paint and caulk. Found toe or finger nails on the carpet between the beds, suggesting lacking or under-resourced cleaning crew. Not a recommendation. Needed investments to upgrade to the minimum standard of this brand of Marriott.

Hotel lobby is updated but rooms need a refresh and new furniture as it is worn and dated. Room and bath was very clean. Tub was worn and appeared dirty. Executive lounge was not open as promised. The shuttle was great - new and clean unlike most hotel shuttles.

Not good. It’s not a full service Marriott. Only 1 restaurant which is not open most of the day. The lobby smelled like someone smoked a joint and the elevator was not working the entire stay. The people working here are nice but it’s not worth staying.

Stayed one night prior to flying out of DTW the next morning. PROs: -Convenient to the airport, had my own car so cannot comment on the shuttle -All the staff I interacted with were friendly CONs: -Rooms just feel dated, especially the bathrooms and I was on the 4th floor concierge level. Shower/tub combo just looked like it was in need of an upgrade/remodel. -Nothing really exciting about the concierge lounge food selection. I’m looking for a fancy coffee machine to make Americanos and cappuccinos with 24 hr access, things like that. The wow factor so to speak. -The parking pay by app was not really something I liked. I’m happy to pay for parking and understand there is no fare gate with this system, but I’d rather just give the front desk my license plate number and let them charge me and that be it. I don’t want to fumble with an app while I’m dealing with my luggage. That’s about all I can comment on due to my short stay. Next time I need a hotel at the airport, I’m going to try the Sheraton down the road since it looks like it has an atrium lobby and at least with Sheratons I know they have Starbucks coffee in the room.
