Residence Inn by Marriott Detroit Novi

The staff is very friendly and competent. The location is second to none.

The pool and workout room were closed for renovations. This information was not published online at the time of my reservation nor was it indicated when we checked-in. I was very disappointed. The room itself was fine, but it could stand a little freshening. The kitchen cabinets were scuffed and the cupboard doors were misaligned. There was water damage on the chest of drawers in one of the bedrooms. The smell of smoke (or the scent of the masking deodorizer) wafted from the room when you opened the door. My bed linen and pillows smelled so much of smoke that I felt compelled to ask for a completely new set of bed furnishings. Not so great for a non-smoking hotel.

Bed was comfy. Had full mini kitchen and plenty of sleeping space. Staff was friendly and helpful. They were not stingy about getting us supplies for our 3 night stay. Breakfast was decent. Hotel was easy to access.

No hot tub. Some trash was left in the room. No big deal.
