DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit - Dearborn

The room was spacious and clean. It was quiet at least when construction was not happening. 15 minutes from downtown Detroit and close to other cities but not really "in" Detroit. Some state police were staying there so I parked next to their patrol cars just in case. A noon checkout time was also very flexible.

Details details... There was construction on every floor instead of one floor at a time so you couldn't get away from the noise. They didn't start until about 11am which is considerate however we got in at about 3am so it was not the wake up call I was looking for. The TV remote only worked sporadically. Again, not the end of the world but another frustration. We had an issue with our key card and the response was "do you want a cookie?" Not in a rude way by any means but really? The bathroom door had to be shoved closed and the vending machine was completely empty. We also purchased a Starbucks bottled drink from the gift shop that had been expired for two months. Those don't keep well. And for the love of God please take the "Detroit girlz" shirt out of the gift shop window. It's a double tree, not a dollar tree.
