Beautiful apartment building turned into hotel that was about 20 min walk to Comerica Park. The only negative comment I have is that there is no parking to which we still had to pay to park at the transit. We booked this hotel to walk to the Tigers game & avoid parking but we still had to pay for parking. *TIP!! Do not park in front of the building!! Wasn’t even 10 min we checked in & received a parking ticket!

Do not trust Sonder

Sonder canceled my reservation 1 day prior to my reservation. I had flights and baseball tickets in Detroit. I had to scramble to get a room. I am very disappointed that Hotels.com contracts with property owners that do not honor their obligations.

This is in a great location. It is right around the corner from the People Mover that loops around downtown, as well as the main bus terminal. Its about a 10 minute walk to ise the Qline that has a 6 mile round trip. There are lots of food, shopping and site seeing nearby as well. There is a big parking lot across the street or the Dax bus from the airport stops practically in front. It was easy to put in the code to get in the building and my unit. My unit was very clean and had everything I needed. I would definitely stay there again if visiting Detroit.

Big space in motor city

Very comfortable and roomy. Carpet was loose and curling up on edges which can present a potential for trip and fall. Just a note.

I was over the moon to stay at the sonder, it was everything I expected and more. This was my first trip solo to a town I wasn’t so familiar with and the sonder made me feel really safe w the way they have a code to enter the building. The room itself, I wish I could live there it’s so lovely. I will be back and I will recommend.

Everything went good, just didn’t enjoy the checking in process. Without booking directly with the host had made it kind of complicated but we figured it out and everything else was great.

I’ve stayed in a Sonder before and really like the concept. It was a clean unit and nice to have kitchen facilities and washer and dryer all within a nicely designed space. Our unit was extremely loud and we could hear people coming off of the elevator at all hours of the night as well as the slamming stairwell door. We were not told that the refrigerator would be off and we added food to it and ended up throwing it all away because it went bad from the fridge not being on. Additionally, Sonder says there is a supply locker in the lobby and we could refresh our own towels and supplies as needed. That was not the case. I appreciated the code that was needed to get into the building which added some additional security. But all in all the area around there just does not seem super safe and if it was dark, I definitely would take a lyft/uber back to the apartment.

It was nice and spacious. However you’re pretty much on your own for any service. There were two bath towels for three of us. We asked for three days for more and never got a third towel. The tv and Roku remotes didn’t work. Nobody was available so you couldn’t watch tv. They probably just need batteries. The desk guy is there sometimes but really doesn’t do anything. The location was great. The people mover is free and it’s a couple hundred feet from your door.
