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.

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.
