Detroit Marriott Troy: Luxury Stay Awaits in the Heart of Michigan!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's hotel review. We're talking about the Detroit Marriott Troy: Luxury Stay Awaits in the Heart of Michigan! and let me tell you, I've got opinions. And a slight addiction to free Wi-Fi, which, spoiler alert, this place has in spades.
(SEO Kick-Off: Detroit Marriott Troy, Michigan Hotels, Luxury Hotel, Wheelchair Accessible, Spa, Fitness Center, Restaurants, Free Wi-Fi)
First things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I've seen some hotels that claim to be accessible, and frankly, they're lying. But the Detroit Marriott Troy actually seems to get it. Wheelchair accessible throughout the property is a big plus, and they even have ramps for getting around the various nooks and crannies. Elevator access is (thankfully) a given. This already puts them head and shoulders above some of the… less thoughtful establishments I’ve encountered. Accessibility also extends to their facilities for disabled guests, which I didn't get to utilize, but the thought itself is comforting. Phew.
(Rambling Section - The Importance of Accessibility… and Bad Hotel Coffee)
Okay, I need to vent for a sec. I once stayed in a "luxury" hotel that proudly boasted its marble floors and… a single, solitary step to get to the elevator. Seriously? Did they think about people with mobility issues? The experience left me feeling like I was in some kind of cruel, ironic art installation. Anyway, back to the Marriott Troy. Good job, guys. Seriously. Now, if you could just work on your coffee situation… (More on that later).
(Back to the Real Review: Amenities & Pampering)
Alright, let's talk about the good stuff. Let’s talk Spa. This is often where things get… interesting. The Spa, Sauna, Steamroom are there for you, along with a massage and body scrub/wrap. I'm not the most spa-inclined person, but the thought of unwinding after a long day (or, let's be honest, a particularly stressful email exchange) is certainly appealing. The fact that they have a pool with a view and an outdoor swimming pool (although I didn't get to test it, given the time of year) adds a touch of elegance. And let's be real, a fitness center is crucial for burning off all those delicious hotel breakfasts. They also include a foot bath that is also worth trying out.
(Fitness Center Anecdote - Or, My Near-Death Experience on a Treadmill)
I may or may not have attempted to run on the treadmill. Let’s just say my coordination levels don’t always align with my ambition. The good thing about the Fitness center is that it had enough space for people to trip and fall and not hinder other guests. Note to self: Stick to the elliptical.
(Food, Glorious Food!)
Now, let's dive into the food situation, because frankly, a hotel's success hinges on it, right? Okay, the Restaurants are various with a variety of cuisines including Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian Restaurant, Western Cuisine in restaurant. So, Breakfast [buffet] is on offer along with a breakfast takeaway service. They also have a Coffee Shop and Poolside Bar. They offer a happy hour, a snack bar, and a room service [24-hour] – absolute lifesavers after a long day of work. I'm a sucker for a good breakfast [buffet]. The only downside? Sometimes, hotel buffets are just… meh. The one at the Marriott Troy was decent. I still miss the perfectly poached eggs of my youth, but the coffee/tea in restaurant situation needs improvement. There, I said it. The good side is that you can have a bottle of water and order a dessert in the restaurant.
(Cleanliness & Safety - In the Age of… Everything)
Let's face it – in the current climate, cleanliness and safety are paramount. And the Detroit Marriott Troy seems to get it. They offer anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, individually-wrapped food options, and sanitized kitchen and tableware items. I actually saw staff cleaning frequently. The staff trained in safety protocol, so you can rest assured that they are serious about safety. They also have hand sanitizers everywhere. It's also good to know they have doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit.
(Room Rundown - The Cozy Factor)
Let's talk rooms. You'll get the basics – air conditioning, alarm clock, desk, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, ironing facilities, mini bar, private bathroom, refrigerator, safety/security feature, satellite/cable channels, separate shower/bathtub, shower, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, wake-up service, and Wi-Fi [free]. It's all there. I particularly appreciated the bathrobes and slippers. The blackout curtains were a godsend for sleeping in after a late night and all the rooms are non-smoking. You can relax on the sofa, and catch up with some news or information on the satellite/cable channels. You could even order some room service [24-hour] to keep you going with any drinks or foods you may want.
(Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter)
Daily Housekeeping is a must. The concierge were super friendly and helpful. There's a convenience store for those late-night snack cravings. I love that they have a doorman to help you with the luggage. This allows you to ask the front desk [24-hour] questions. The elevator is a must-have. They even offer facilities for disabled guests. There's also laundry service and dry cleaning, which is a lifesaver for business trips. And, because it's 2024, they offer Contactless check-in/out.
(Business Traveler Heaven? – The "Meetings" Section)
And the business traveler can rejoice! They've got everything you need: Business facilities, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meeting stationery, Projector/LED display, Wi-Fi for special events, and a Xerox/fax in business center.
(For the Kids - Family Friendly…ish)
The hotel is family/child friendly and they even have babysitting.
(Getting Around - Location, Location, Location!)
The hotel itself has a car park [free of charge], taxi service, and valet parking.
(The Quirky Observations - And My Emotional Journey)
Okay, I need to be honest. I was a little stressed going in. My expectations were high. But the Detroit Marriott Troy delivered. The level of attention to accessibility alone made me want to sing their praises. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the staff, for the most part, were friendly and helpful.
(The Big Question: Would I Go Back?)
Absolutely. Yes. Without a doubt.
(The Offer - You Can’t Resist!)

Luxury Unveiled: Hotel Reforma Mérida's Opulent Escape Awaits
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Detroit, baby! Specifically, Troy, Michigan. And the Detroit Marriott Troy… deep breath …here we go. This is going to be a wild ride, folks, fueled by lukewarm coffee and the desperate hope of actually finding a decent parking spot.
Detroit Marriott Troy - The Real, Unvarnished Truth (and my inner monologue)
Day 1: Arrival, Awkwardness, and the Quest for Decent Room Service
1:00 PM - 1:30 PM: Arrival & Hotel Check-in – The Battle Begins!
- Okay, first things first. Finding this place. My GPS, bless its pixelated heart, seems to think the Marriott is playing hide-and-seek. "Turn left… wait, no, turn right… are you SURE?" Finally, after a minor detour in what might have been someone's meticulously manicured front lawn (sorry, random homeowner!), I spot the gleaming glass facade. Check-in? Smooth, thankfully. But the lobby is a sea of business-casual zombies. Send help.
- Anecdote: The elevator ride was a nail-biter. I was stuck in a tiny box with a guy who clearly hadn't showered in a week. The silence was deafening, punctuated only by the rhythmic thump-thump of my heart begging to escape my chest. I made eye contact, a desperate plea for a shared experience of existential dread. He simply stared back, chewing on his fingernails.
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM: Room Reconnaissance & The Great Bed Test
- Alright, room unlocked! Praise the Wi-Fi gods, at least something here works. The room itself? Standard hotel fare. Beige. Blah. The bed, though… that's the most important thing. LET THE BED TEST BEGIN! Flops dramatically onto the mattress. Okay, acceptable bounce. Not quite a cloud, but hey, I've slept on worse. Much, much worse. Shudders, remembering that hostel in Prague.
- Quirky Observation: The remote control has more buttons than my ex-boyfriend's phone bill. How am I supposed to navigate this technology jungle? I'm pretty sure I accidentally ordered a pay-per-view porno just trying to adjust the volume. Oops.
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Room Service Roulette & The "Is This Even Food?" Dilemma
- Okay, time to order food! My stomach is rumbling, and my brain is screaming for sustenance. Room service it is! Place the order, and wait… and wait… and wait. 50 minutes later, lukewarm chicken fingers and a tragically soggy veggie burger appear. This isn’t gourmet! This is just… food.
- Emotional Reaction: I’m filled with a profound sadness by this meal. It's not bad, per se, but it's the culinary equivalent of a beige wall. Where’s the zest? The FLAVOR? I'm feeling a deep-seated frustration.
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Work (sigh).
- It's time to do some work, even though I'd rather be anywhere else. The hotel wifi is stable enough which is a good thing.
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Rest and Prep.
- After a long day of work, I can take the time to just rest and prepare for the events of tomorrow.
Day 2: Exploring Troy (Maybe), The Suburban Odyssey
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast (If I Dare), The Coffee Conundrum
- Breakfast! This could go one of two ways: 1) a decent buffet, or 2) a plate of sadness. I roll the dice and head down, cautiously optimistic. The coffee, as expected, is a lukewarm disappointment. Hotel coffee is a conspiracy, I swear.
- Opinionated Language: This hotel breakfast is what I expect.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Detroit Adventure: The Suburban Edition
- Okay, adventure time! Time to explore Troy! Or, you know, whatever Troy has to offer. My research told me Troy is basically a suburb, but hey, there could be hidden gems! Right?
- The Mall Gamble: Okay, first stop: The Somerset Collection, the "posh" mall. Ambiance: Over the top fancy. People look like they're attending a charity auction. Did I accidentally teleport to a Real Housewives episode? I wander around a bit, feeling utterly out of place, then give up my quest for a decent shopping experience.
- The Restaurant: Lunch at a local restaurant. The menu is long. The waitress is a bit too friendly. The food is… edible.
- Emotional Reaction: I miss my bed. And my cat. And a good cup of coffee. Okay, and maybe an actual adventure.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch & The Great Escape
- I find a small cafe. The food is better, but then I just think of the places I didn't get to visit.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Work (Again! The Never-Ending Story)
- Back to the hotel. Back to the grind. Meetings, emails, the usual soul-crushing nonsense. This wouldn't be an exciting, but rather a normal day, and maybe that's what is needed.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Free Time and Prepping for Departure
- Free time to rest and prepare, and prepare for the trip's departure.
Day 3: The Grand Exit (And the Quest for a Decent Airport Coffee)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Farewell Breakfast & The Final Judgement
- One last breakfast. Hoping for redemption. Hoping… Okay, still bland. But, hey, at least the coffee is hot.
- Messy Structure: I'm already mentally preparing for leaving. Thinking about the next trip.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Check out and the Last Stand
- Checking out goes smoothly!
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Airport Run & The Coffee Crisis
- Off to the airport! The airport coffee better redeem this entire trip.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: The hotel was fine for the most part. Nothing fantastic. It's a means to an end.
- 11:00 AM - onward: Departure
Detroit Marriott Troy - The Verdict:
Okay, so it wasn't exactly a life-altering experience. But that's the beauty of travel, right? It’s not always perfect. Sometimes you get lukewarm chicken fingers, and sometimes you get lost in a fancy mall. It’s the imperfections, the awkwardness, and the questionable coffee that make it real. And hey, at least I survived. And I got a story to tell, which, let's be honest, is often the best part. Now, where's that plane…and the good coffee?
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Brasao Palace Hotel, Presidente Prudente!
Detroit Marriott Troy: Your (Maybe Amazing, Maybe Not-So-Amazing) Guide!
So, is the Detroit Marriott Troy REALLY as luxurious as they say?
Okay, "luxury." Let's unpack that. The glossy pictures online? Yeah, they’re probably using some serious filter magic. I'd say it's... *nicer* than your average chain hotel. Think granite countertops (probably not *real* granite, let's be honest), comfy beds, and a lobby that attempts to impress. I felt like I was in a catalog, pretty but not necessarily *authentic*. The first time I checked in, I was running super late and frazzled and totally forgot I'd booked a king bed, just to find out I'd gotten a double. A total rookie mistake! I did get the room I booked the second time though, so maybe it was just me being scatterbrained the first time. Depends on your definition of luxury, really. If you're comparing it to, say, a Motel 6… then yeah, it's swanky. If you're expecting the Ritz? Lower your expectations slightly. Then you might be pleasantly surprised!
One time, though? I swear, my room's air conditioning sounded like a dying jet engine. Kept me awake all night. Complained, of course. They *did* move me – which was good, 'cause sleep is precious, people! – but it made me realize that even "luxury" hotels have their off days. So be prepared to, you know, *speak up* if something's wrong. Don't be shy, like me, who suffered a screaming air conditioner for hours.
What's the deal with the location? Is Troy actually… fun?
Okay, Troy. Let's be real. It's not exactly *Paris*. It's a suburban business hub. Think lots of office buildings, shopping malls (hello, Somerset Collection!), and chain restaurants. However... (and this is a big "however")… it's strategically located. You're close to the freeway, so you can zip to Detroit relatively easily (traffic permitting, which is always a gamble). And that Somerset Collection? Good for some serious retail therapy. Okay, maybe *too* good. My wallet started crying after my last visit.
Plus, you might stumble upon something interesting! There’s some decent dining in the area if you're willing to explore a bit. Found a great little Italian place once, tucked away in a strip mall – true hidden gem! And if you're into golf (I'm not, but people seem to be), there are plenty of courses nearby. So, yeah, Troy *can* be fun, if you define fun as "convenient access to shopping, food, and the occasional round of golf." It also means loads of office workers, so don't expect it to be a nightlife hotspot.
Is the food any good? What about the breakfast buffet? (I'm a sucker for buffets...)
Ah, the breakfast buffet. The siren song of all weary travelers. Let me be brutally honest: it's...hotel buffet quality. Which means it can range from "surprisingly decent" to "slightly disappointing." They usually have the standard fare: eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, the usual suspects. I once had a particularly sad-looking omelet that looked like it had been run over by a car. But hey, they had decent coffee! And the fruit was always fresh (mostly!). The most important factor? Don't go in expecting Michelin star quality, and you'll be fine. Personally, grab a plate of bacon and eggs and call it a win. After all, you need some substance for all of that shopping!
As for the other dining options… They have a restaurant, it's usually passable. Convenient, for sure, especially if you're too lazy to leave the hotel (which is totally understandable, sometimes). I remember ordering room service once, and it took FOREVER to arrive. I was practically gnawing on the furniture by the time it got there. So, plan accordingly. Otherwise, step out and find something interesting.
Okay, the details: What about parking, the pool, and Wi-Fi?
Alright, nitty-gritty time! **Parking:** Usually straightforward. They *should* have ample parking. Don't get me wrong sometimes you circle a bit, but it's rarely a nightmare. Just be prepared to pay for it. Standard hotel fees for these things, I guess.
**The Pool:** Yeah, they have a pool. I’ve used it. It’s… fine. It’s indoor, which is a plus if you're visiting in the Michigan winter (brrr!). Nothing spectacular, nothing awful. Just a pool. Good for a quick dip. I'm a pretty terrible swimmer, it worked for me, hopefully it works for you too.
**Wi-Fi:** Free Wi-Fi! Yay! Although, sometimes the speed can be a little, shall we say, *glacial*. Fine for checking emails, maybe scrolling through Instagram. Don't expect to stream HD movies without a LOT of buffering. This is a problem I've had more often than I'd like. I guess I'm used to lightning fast internet. But it's still free, so… can't complain *too* much, right?
One time, I swear, it cut out in the middle of a video chat with my mom. She gave me this look... the "I'm judging your life choices" look. Mortifying. So, consider yourself warned: Wi-Fi reliability may vary. Still better than dial-up!
Would you stay there again? Be honest!
Honestly? Probably. It's a convenient option. If I need to be in Troy, and need a decent place to sleep that won't break the bank...yeah, I'd book it again. Does it have its quirks? Absolutely. Will it have the perfect experience? Probably not. But it’s a solid, reliable choice with a few potential downsides. I am picky, though. Not the worst accommodation choice I have ever had. I would definitely recommend it, but I also have to say, lower your expectations a little, and you'll have a decent stay.
