“With direct access to the Skywalk, this downtown option makes battling Michigan winters a non-issue. I appreciate the flexibility of the room arrangements, and the on-site Starbucks is a definite plus for early mornings, though the Bistro is available for more substantial meals. Proximity to the Van Andel Arena also marks this as a top pick.”
