“Really nice upscale property”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

My husband and I stayed at the this hotel over a long weekend for a family wedding. It is an older boutique hotel which has been nicely redone. Our king room was large and spotless.

“Romantic Weekend”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We won a "Romantic Weekend" at The Townsend at a local charity event. I thought I knew already about all the amenities of this beautiful hotel from several past high level business functions at their conference facilities. I was amazed to learn in addition about their incredible eye for details, beauty and convenience. We were very professionally and kindly welcomed... More

“I love this place”

Reviewed 23 April 2013

I stayed here overnight for a birthday treat, and had dinner with my girlfriends. We had dinner at the Rugby Grille. Fabulous wine list! They have wonderful Korean beef "egg roll" appetizers! I love the Salmon and the Dover Sole is classic! Because I was there for my birthday, they took special care of me. When I went to my... More

“LUXURY EXISTS IN MICHIGAN”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

A very comfortable place in an upscale town center. Has all the polish and well trained staff one would expect from a Preffered Hotel. We travel with our little dog and not only did the Townsend gladly admit him, but had a doggie bed, bowls, water and treats layed out and awaiting him. The rooms were well sized and well... More

“Exceptional experience!”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

If you're headed to the Detroit area, stay at The Townsend Hotel, if you can afford to do so. The price for the room is a bit steep, but worth every penny. The beds are plush, the pillows generous, and the attention to detail is outstanding. Slept the best I had in the five nights I was in town for... More

“Overated and Overpriced”

Reviewed 12 March 2013

This place use to be a nice little botique hotel. While the "location" is excellent for downtown Birmingham activities something has changed with the management of this hotel -- to the detriment of customers. Additionally it is way over-priced for the room types. While the Luxury Suites are nice rooms, the regular guest rooms are very ordinary and some outdated... More

“Weekend Get-away”

Reviewed 23 January 2013

We won a Weekend Getaway Package at an auction to the Townsend. It was a lovely hotel, with old world charm. Our bed was one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in. However, our morning breakfast was overpriced for what we got but it was good nonetheless.

“Its all about the service (or lack thereof)...”

Reviewed 21 January 2013

Service, service, service, and location were the main reasons to stay at The Townsend as the rooms, while possessing some of the most comfortable beds I've experienced in any luxury hotel, are hopelessly stuck in the 1980s. Unfortunately my most recent stay lacked any of the service that made The Townsend what it is. For example: No "Welcome Back" from... More
