Roof access was jammed/unavailable, enjoyed some great views from the top floor windows, hope management can fix this since it would have been lovely. Bed was super comfortable and all linens were impossibly soft and fluffy. Everything else exceeded or met expectations.

The Apartments are really good value for money and ideal for groups wanting to share communal spaces. The surrounding area isn’t the best & the games room needs refreshing as everything is looking old & ruined. The golf simulator was fun. And the bar adjoined to the Civic is really good too, lots of drinking options, great food & brilliant staff.

Lovely stay

We had the gallery apartment at the Civic. There neighborhood was quiet and there was a nice convenience store nearby to get any basic necessities and groceries. It was a great space, plenty of room and airy with high ceilings like that of a loft style apartment. Amenities in the kitchen were plentiful and even some basic ingredients like butter and salt were provided. My only negative point would be that the blinds are quite see through and if your windows face the street, it can be quite bright still and made it harder to fall asleep.

Kathryn

Disliked: Amenities
The studio was nice and the Front Desk was very helpful. They advertised Free Parking- which was not the case. We found out the day before that the "Free Parking" was actually street parking. We drove in very late around 10:30 pm the host did recommend 2 lots within a couple miles of the property- however when we attempted to use those lots, tbey did not offer over night parking- tbey were limited to 5 hours only. We were able to find street parking- but we had to move our vehicle at 6:30am due to being a school day. Thus was not a great way to start our vacation. The room itself was very clean and quaint. It was also very close to the venue where we were attending a Concert. We chose this place because of the advertised "free parking" and that was not the case. The room was great- but parking was a major issue.

My kids would call this place sus. As in not quite legit. First of all the neighborhood is sketchy. We live in Detroit and like grit . This is more than that . An armed guard with a machine gun at the local gas station at 7 pm. Just sayin’. The parking lot across the street is strewn with garbage and not fully asphalted. The building is a cheap renovation of a cheap school or industrial building with cheap and frankly ugly furniture and decor. The main areas in each floor and the elevators smell like weed . Frankly , it is low rent housing that someone is using as an investment. Not only is it not legit overnight rental , it feels potentially unfair to people who might need to rent the places . The room itself , once we made it through the parking, neighborhood and common area , was fine . Clean and well equipped for what it was. Only 2 towels with no access to more . Overall, i dont think it should be listed on Hotels.com, is not worth the price and i discourage others from renting .
