"Parking is easy, right across the small intersection in the Detroit Opera House garage. About $35 compared to $50 valet for hotel. Hotel is tall and thin- very unique and intimate experience. Charming designs and decor. Coffee bar that serves goodies was closing upon our arrival (hours are around 6am to 4pm). Very small lounge- again, intimate, serving alcohol- no candy, lol (called the Candy Bar). Dark and cozy, very friendly staff all around. Check in was super easy and quick and they answer all questions well. Security is nice- can only access the floor you are staying on and main floor. Pool access is tricky- it's a shared agreement with the Y across the street and the pool closed at 4 or 5 the day we checked in and didn't reopen until the next morning for about two hours before checkout. So just keep that in mind if you have kids who want to use the pool- the hours and the fact that it's not in the same building. Room we had was double bed- small room with a really cool bathroom that was half the size of the room! The shower layout, design and decoration was unique and very cool. The windows overlook the city architecture and lights- very cool city experience. The food lounge- Chenin, is very small also- about the size of a large supply closet! But super cute and cozy, giving a truly intimate experience to the patrons. Everyone was very friendly and it is a very nice experience overall! Cozy and hip!"
