I noticed last week that Sheraton signage was up around the building, but still covered. |

The lobby & Sweet Lorraines have looked that good for the past several years. They completed a renovation of all the rooms last year. The article talks about this new renovation being for several larger meeting halls. Courtyard on Jefferson is a great place to stay and spend time downtown as it's central, thanks to the people mover, to a lot. |

No it wasn't always a Marriott... it used to be an Omni Hotel when it first opened. Back in 1995 a friend of mine got married there at the Omni Hotel. |

Apparently, Marriot wants to have a big piece of Downtown Detroit's comeback pie. |

I haven't seen the progress for the Sheraton Detroit Riverside, but, according to the web site, it opens tomorrow (under the Sheraton name) |
