Courtyard Detroit Pontiac/Auburn Hills

I stayed here for four nights in May. I'll start with the positives; the staff were very friendly, attentive, and personable. The location was clean, both the common areas and the rooms. I never checked out the pool, but it looked nice. My room had a nice little balcony with a couple of chairs, which was a nice little spot for a coffee or snack with fresh air. My bed was very comfy - one night I slept about 10 hours, which is pretty rare for me in a hotel. The location is very convenient, it is very easy to get to and from the I-75. However, there isn't much in the immediate area, so be prepared to go for a bit of a drive if you're looking for a casual restaurant for dinner or shopping. Now, a few negatives. The walls in are pretty thin - you can hear the foot-falls and conversations of people in the hallway. It was pretty quiet during my stay, so the noise wasn't too much of an issue for me. Now, the oddest thing I've ever complained about... The toilet in my room was the size of an elementary school toilet. It was extremely low to the floor and had a very shallow bowl. For guys... a shallow toilet bowl full of cold water can be extremely unpleasant. LOL!

Room smelled musty and mold in the bathroom. Should have read prior reviews. Went to lay on the bed and a black bug came out of pillow. Titanium level and stay in a lot of hotels. Room 202 . Marriott has lost control of requirements of hotels and inspection of properties.

Stayed Aug 25-27, 2023. AS SOON as we walked in our room we smelled a damp musty smell. The carpet was damp and it was very humid in the room. My daughter picked up a pillow and said it smelled gross (probably from the humidity). I smelled it and concurred. It did not take long for us to spot the MOLD. Right in front of us on the chair. Went to front desk and was moved to the same side of hotel up one floor. Same thing, floor was moist, smelled, unusually humid. Emailed the pics of the mold to front desk as requested. They said it wasn't mold but a white residue from cleaning agents. Hahahahaha, yeah right. They offered me 1000 bonvoy points when I am not even a member.

- We could not get our luggage cart into room 224. The built-in furniture blocked the aisle. Who planned the room?? - Breakfast was not complimentary and pricey, about $35 for coffee and French toast for 2. We will not stay again.

Nice hotel located near or a few good restaurants. The staff was very pleasant and the rooms were also nice. The only issue that I had was that my refrigerator did not have a freezer. But all in all the hotels nice and I would recommend it if you were staying in the area

Room was dirty. Toilet would not stop running. I told front desk twice about the toilet and it never got fixed. Dirty sheets. Faceplate on the tub faucet was coming off. Dirty shower. Dirty night stand. Liquid soap dispenser in shower was empty. Hallway smelled like BO.
