Review: June 23, 2005 Clearly
an older place in a neighborhood that used to be buzzing but is now
nearly abandoned. The staff were nice, and the building was old but
in working condition. The fitness center was under renovation and
unavailable to use, and the staff suggested the fitness center across
the street, but the cost would be $12/visit (!). The morning breakfast
was mediocre, but free. There didn't appear to be many other guests
at the hotel when we were there, which added to the air of strangeness,
since it's a fairly large building. To avoid feeling completely depressed
about the current state of the city of Detroit, I'd recommend a hotel
closer to downtown and the river. Be sure to check out the beautiful
old theater (the Fisher) next door if you do stay at the St. Regis,
though.
Review: May 25, 2005 When I arrived in Detroit and was immediately
hassled for a $20 taxi drive to the hotel. So my first impression
of the city was not too good.
But the hotel, at the reception the girl was very friendly, our
room was very nice and clean and quiet located at the back.
The dinner in the restaurant was delightful.
We were staying at the w-end so we were offered also free Internet
access, free DVD and a complimentary breakfast.
I just had a great time staying at the St. Regis. Thanks!!
Review: Apr. 20th, 2005 The St Regis is very well located
for the AmTrak Station and you can easily hail a cab to get to other
locations. It looked like it had once been a very beautiful place,
much like the whole of poor battered Detroit but there are some
lovely assets to it. Its easy to walk to the motown museum and the
Fisher building is truly breathtakingly understated. Its worth noting
that on Mondays all the museums in town are closed we spoilt that
element of our trip. We did have problems with the booking being
lost on arrival which were quickly resolved… unlike the bite rash
we got from the bed.
