We stayed here after a concert at the Big House. Our room smelled very musty, the carpet was soaking wet by the air conditioner, there was a brown substance all over the curtains, the shower was fairly dirty & the bathroom walls had patch holes all around. The staff was kind but the rooms are very outdated and not the cleanest.

Moved to the next room and the light in the bathroom didn’t work and the chair was nasty in that room and the bed mattress cover was ripped and it had a bug on the covers (waterbug) it was a kind nasty hotel and they need to get new beds or mattress protection because it was not clean and they only clean your room if you staying 3 or more night which I did but they didn’t come clean my room until the day before I left. That was not a clean hotel and when I told them they just looked at me. Never going back.

The front desk lady was so unfriendly that even my husband told me we should just find another place to stay. I do not know whether she was having a bad day, but she just didn't want to be there. I am not sure if we'll use this place again for this reason. The only thing that made it somewhat of a decent experience was because of the housekeeping lady, who was so helpful.

The facility is in a good location, with shopping and restaurants nearby. The hotel is clean and staff is friendly and offers good service. There were some minor maintenance issues in my room- the toilet would run unless you jiggled the handle. The mini fridge freezer was missing its door, so ice build up inside and leftovers got ice on them. No in-room microwave, nor is there one in the lobby. Breakfast was advertised during purchase, but not available on the weekends. They credited my bill by $10 day for that, which was appropriate and satisfactory.

Room layout was poor, the TV stand/cabinet was too close to the entryway, instead of the bed being across the way from the TV it was actually diagonal to it which made the bed stand close to the TV stand/cabinet a little narrow.

This was my second stay at this location. It would be simple to say everything was notably clean, had a great staff, ample safe parking, with very comfortable accommodations with both size/space and for sleep. It is. This is the kinda place where you might peak at the mattress brand because you got a great night sleep. It is just a restful, stress free place.

The owners/managers clearly understand how to provide travelers with a great environment and economical value when on the road. Plenty of great choices nearby to eat and shop if needed.

This is certainly my \"go to spot\" when visiting family in the area.

Thanks - see you next trip.

In-room phone didn't work. Went downstairs to front desk and they had one very thin blanket left ( for the whole hotel)so we had to go to the car to get some sporting events blankets out of car for the bed and take pillows from off the king bed for sofa bed. We were informed on check in that they have no breakfasts on weekends. No one at the front desk seemed to care. Pool was so cold and the pool room was so cold you could'nt stand to be in there with a bathing suit on. My husband and teenage grandchildren just came back to the room disappointed. Oh there were no pool towels anyway. This whole experience is such a disappointment. I will not stay with this brand again.

⭐ 1 out of 5 stars
Sonesta Select Detroit Novi – Extremely Disappointing Stay

My stay at this hotel was awful from the beginning. Check-in took an unnecessary amount of time despite there being no real reason for the delay. When I finally got to my room, things only got worse. The entire room — and honestly the hotel overall — was filthy. There was no microwave or fridge, which is unacceptable for a hotel at this price point.

The bathroom in the room was so dirty that the public lobby restrooms were actually cleaner. Multiple things didn’t work, including the lamps, lights, and outlets. Behind the nightstands were inches of dust, and the drawers in both the nightstand and dresser were absolutely filthy. The TV was glitchy and only worked about half the time.

To put it into perspective, I’ve stayed at cleaner, more comfortable Motel 6s and Red Roof Inns than this place — and that says a lot.

Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I would not stay here again and absolutely would not recommend it to anyone.

I walked down to show them a picture I took & all I was told is you won't be charged. Later on in the night I discovered our TV had 2 channels and they weren't event clear. Furthermore, waking up in the middle of the night I almost slipped when walking into the bathroom because the leak from the faucet must have worsened. The carpet was soaked in front of the vanity sink area, so wearing shoes was required. While checking out the staff informed me that my room should have not been checked out to anyone, however there was nothing they could do for me.

I went to this hotel to have a staycation. My room was ok. The bathroom had a foul smell (thank goodness I had essential oils on hand). I asked the front desk when I checked in what are the hours for breakfast and he said 6-9am. When I got downstairs at 8:15am There were 25 people there wondering where the breakfast was and not a staff member in site. A staff member came 15 minutes later and stated she did not work in this area and let her find someone for us. When the male staff member came (with an attitude) he stated that there was only continental breakfast on Weekdays. He put coffee out and left. The pool looked nice. At night there were children running down the halls and knocking on doors. I had to call the staff from my cell phone because the room phone was not working and it was handled. Overall I would give this hotel a 5 ojut of 10
