Top Wayne State University Hotel Reviews

Atheneum Suite Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enormous room tastefully decorated. Weird that there were stairs between the bed and bathroom but at least they were lit. Not a fan of the transparent bathroom wall so you can't turn on the bathroom light without lighting up the bedroom. Also not crazy about the temp control not having a fan only mode because the furnace and AC coming on during the night was loud. Lighting was good in living room area, bathroom, and closet and had nice touches like 3-way switches. An office chair would be a nice addition. Soaps provided were nice and not too smelly. Local guide directory in room was nice and we were just a block from at least half a dozen restaurants and the people mover. Decent mini grocery store a couple of blocks away and some convenience stores closer (good for water because it was $5 in the hotel fridge). Gym was pretty basic but functional, no water cooler but had a sink. Elevators were fast and smooth."
