10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very helpful. One thing I would like to tell you about. We spent one night coming from a smaller town. Not use to double glass doors to the entrance that required a key card to enter after a certain time. Security saw my friend open second set of doors(which were opened slightly) with her hands and he came out just chewing us out like no other (apparently he watches people on a camera in the hotel) and told us if we break the door we have to pay for it. He was extremely rude. We asked him to show us what to do and his reply was “figure it out”. We apologized but he was still super rude to us. So my suggestion is to put a notice on the door that explains that after a certain time of the evening that your key card is required to activate the door to open. Some people do dumb things because we are not use to big city things. He told us we would have to pay for damages if the door is broken by us. I would also like to point out that iF the door would have broke that would be the hotels responsibility to repair not ours. That’s what insurance is for! Now if we intentionally broke the door I could understand. This was a MISTAKE on our part. The door was not damaged FYI."

What is a historic hotel like in Detroit?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Detroit typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Detroit have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the amenities you'd get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Detroit doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
