Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Detroit (Downtown) Omni River Place

[Jonathan44]

$55 a night.

Stayed 4 nights. Won with first bid.

Amenities: On the riverfront, nice views. Rooms are good, clean.

Cons: Not near anything, far from downtown. Bad valet parking which is mandatory at $18 a day (which is not a bad price)

Not exactly my idea of a 3.5* hotel, but you could do a lot worse for more money.

Omni River Place

$55 per night x 4 nights.

Checked in: July 24, 2009

Checked out: July 28, 2009

Other than the architecture and the riverfront, there is very little positive that I could say about the Omni.

The shuttle was consistently late. The valets were rude and/or poorly trained.

The room was stuffy and poorly appointed.

For the same price, when you add in the money spent on valet parking, you could stay at a much nicer hotel in Southfield.

You can read my review of the Westin Southfield

At $55 per night for the Westin, it is the smarter play and it is often available here using PRICELINE and bid on a 4* Deluxe hotel in Southfield.
