Pontiac Travel Guide

Service is always "top-notch" at this "grand", "historic" Colonial (a Marriott-affiliated property) built in 1931 on the grounds of the Ford Motor Company a few minutes from Downtown Detroit and "close to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village"; while "the history is great", the restaurants "consistently good" and the staff "pleasant", unimpressed guests say the accommodations and public facilities "could use some spiffing up" (luckily, it recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of the main inn, two lodges and five Colonial guest homes).

"Close to the Big Three automakers" in Dearborn, this hotel with a "science fiction"–style curved exterior and glass elevators in the "impressive" atrium caters to convention and business crowds; it has "decent rooms" and a "helpful staff", but it's so "huge" and filled with "noisy, crazy" "men in suits" that you should venture here "only if you're working with Ford or attending a conference."
