Rooms are fine, if a bit worn.
Beds are great -- nice, clean sheets and comforter.
Room service good.
Ice machines on every floor are UNBELIEVABLY NOISY. The front desk declined to turn them off. I piled all of the bedding from the other bed against
the door to try to muffle the noise, but it still sounded like there was a '67 Camaro revving its engine in the hall.
I even changed rooms the second night, but even a room a few doors further away from that floor's ice machine was noisy. The bedding muffler worked
this time, but then I discovered that there was a persistent grating sound coming from somewhere behind the wall or ceiling. Ventilation? I asked
the front desk about it, but they put me on hold and never got back on.
I've never considered myself a light sleeper or sensitive to noises, but after 2 nights at the Renaissance I feel like Felix Unger.

The Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center is absolutely superb! The staff and accommodations are first rate. Ask for one of
the upper floors having a view up the river and part of town. Absolutely beautiful. I hope they continue this high level of service forever.
This is the ONLY place I would stay in Detroit.

Me and my wife took my parents to the the fireworks display and we got a floor on the 52nd floor. While they said it was a non-river view room,
it actually had a great view of the river. The room was nicely appointed. It was fair size with 2 double beds. It was very quiet with no outside noise detected.
It was so nice being able to walk down 2 minutes before the fireworks and watch an awesome display right outside the hotel. Afterwards, we went back up and watched
TV until the traffic cleared and then
me and my wife drove home while my parent's spent the night. My only complaint was the restaurant where we visited the next morning. Service was so slow and I finally complained
and the manager
took care of the bill. All in all, a great time. 4 of 5 stars.
