Trumbull and Porter - Detroit Downtown, Ascend Hotel Collection

Simple room, very modern. We had a room facing the patio/bonfire area and it was a bit loud at 1:30am on Friday. Nice dining and good food and service in the restaurant. Good location to get to downtown venues.

Awesome Detroit vibes here! Great courtyard area that would be a fantastic place to hang in the summer. There's also a fire pit, so I guess it's all-season! Fun murals and photographs for decor and walking distance to downtown for a show or sporting event. My only gripe would be that we walked through the front door three separate times and no one ever said hello or welcome, even when I was headed to the counter to check-in.

Great

Loved the hotel, the staff and the restaurant. Every staff member said hello or good morning. I went to the front desk to tell the manager how much I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and they said "we love working here and want you to love being here". Wow

I made the reservation without much knowledge. My approach took me past the Greyhound station and some more isolated areas and I thought hmmm.... After my stay, it will be my preferred hotel for future business trips to Detroit. Staff is courteous. Rooms are nice (if on the small side - single queen) and have all necessities. Updated. Safe. Secure parking for $10. Only knock: the bathroom fan sounds like a jet engine. The attached restaurant is great. Creative dishes. Good portions. Overall clientele is hipper than my usual digs.
