Let's just say you get what you pay for. The room was $87 for 2 nights. Centraly located to venues near Detroit. No other amenities. It smelled of stale cigarette smoke. I had to purchase my own towels as I wasn't going to use the ones provided on my body. I cleaned the air-conditioner filter and bought clorox wipes to clean the room. I did see a mouse scurry towards a corner. We stayed because there wasn't any chance for a refund and there were no signs of any bugs.

Bring CASH, Expedia does not pay for this room with your credit card that you give them. It needs a major overhaul and cleanliness for its appearance. No thanks I'll go to another hotel. Thank you so much for your understanding.

This place is neither a hotel nor a motel; it's not even fit for animals. I don't know why you're tarnishing your site's reputation by advertising such a dump. I hope it gets removed from your website.
