What a beautiful venue for a wedding…read more First time in Michigan was for a family wedding. The Rochester Hills Banquet Center was so Magical. Parking was so easy right next to the banquet hall. The venue was set up so beautifully. The wedding was filled with so much love as two families were brought together. The reception was quickly transformed after the ceremony. The cocktail hour had an open bar and the most delicious appetizers. Loved the bruschetta and the spanakopita triangles. The food was served family style for the dinner reception. Loved the potatoes and green beans. The party was hopping. The DJ had so much energy. Thanks for grabbing our family for Hava Nagila. Loved the photo area where we captured three generations in multiple images freezing this beautiful day forever etched in our hearts. Thanks to the staff at Rochester Hills Banquet Center for an amazing wedding. Filled with so much love and joy. A sparking day to start a young couple onto a magical journey together.

Apparently on weekends they rent space out for other events while people aren't using the office space area. It looks like a pleasurable space where I would set my office, and could work from no problem. I don't know what the prices are so it's really hard to comment on how that would work but from looking at some of the offices I saw there in they're two story building, someone could basically hold a meeting in the meeting space, have lunch in the lunch area with a client, and then have their own private workspace. The bathrooms are clean, and the air is very professional.

We liked sitting by the pool. Well.... we booked this again and when we showed up NO ONE WAS THERE. The place looked like it had been abandoned. The grounds were unkept with dead tree branches in the back. The pond was filthy. It looked like the maintenance person just walked away. They confirmed our arrival the day before but no one was there. We had to find a hotel after a long day of traveling. They called us to say "sorry." Really "sorry!" Don't bother. Last time we thought it was strange because it wasn't really a B&B - just a room but with the studio we could cook our own breakfast. I don't think they know how to run a business.

Disappointing Experience -- "Pet Friendly" Comes With Major Fine Print…read more As a Rochester resident, this experience was especially disappointing. My husband and I are currently renovating our home and booked the Royal Park Hotel while in town for business and personal reasons. We planned to bring our small, well-behaved, 10-year-old dog. After booking online, I called because there was no option to add a pet. Cynthia confirmed they allow dogs and explained the policy. Most rules were reasonable, but two immediately stood out: a strict no-barking policy and dogs MUST be crated whenever the owner leaves the room. We have traveled extensively with our dog and stayed at upscale hotels including the Amway Grand Plaza, The Drake, Hilton properties, and others without issue. Our dog has never been crate trained. I completely understand requiring a dog to be secured when housekeeping enters, but requiring us to cage our 10-year-old dog simply to leave for dinner seems excessive. The no-barking rule also lacks reasonable nuance. Obviously, no guest should be allowed to leave a dog barking continuously and disturbing others. But an occasional bark? Do we also have a no-child-crying policy? There's a difference between normal occasional noise and an actual disturbance. Our dog isn't even a barker, and we travel with a dog camera to monitor her. Then there's the $150 pet fee, which is one of the highest we've encountered. For $150, I'd expect a genuinely pet-friendly experience--not simply permission to have a dog while imposing unusually restrictive rules. I went to the hotel in person hoping common sense and reasonable discretion might prevail. Deanna at the front desk reiterated that it was policy, while a manager beside her confirmed the same. There was seemingly no willingness to discuss an alternative. So we cancelled our reservation and booked The Townsend Hotel in Birmingham instead. What a difference. The Townsend charges a $50 pet fee, provides dog beds and bowls, and does NOT require our dog to be crated when we leave the room. That's what I consider pet friendly. Something else happened while I was at Royal Park that further illustrated my concerns. An older gentleman was attempting to check in early. He was told that even if his room was already ready, he would be charged a $75 early check-in fee. Ironically, I made our same-day Townsend reservation around noon. They had a room available, welcomed us immediately, and charged no early check-in fee. That's hospitality. If a room isn't ready, obviously a guest should wait until check-in. But if it's cleaned, available, and ready, charging $75 just to hand someone the key a few hours early feels like nickel-and-diming rather than luxury hospitality. Perhaps Royal Park should reassess its $150 pet fee, mandatory crating policy, barking policy, and $75 early check-in fee against comparable luxury hotels and current industry standards. This is particularly disappointing because my husband and I got married at the Royal Park last year and spent tens of thousands of dollars there. Unfortunately, even during our wedding experience, we often felt policies took precedence over hospitality. At times, it felt like constantly being reminded of what we could and couldn't do rather than being treated like valued guests. After this experience, I genuinely regret choosing Royal Park for our wedding. It's also surprising for a hotel in Rochester, an incredibly dog-friendly community. Leader Dogs for the Blind is headquartered right here in Rochester Hills. Nobody is asking the hotel to tolerate destructive animals, aggressive behavior, incessant barking, or irresponsible owners. Address an actual problem when one occurs. Charge for damage. Address legitimate noise complaints. That's completely reasonable. But don't treat every well-behaved dog as a problem before one exists and then charge guests $150 for the privilege. Royal Park has unfortunately lost our business. I will no longer recommend it to friends, neighbors, or visitors--particularly those traveling with pets. The Royal Park markets itself as a luxury hotel. Luxury hospitality should involve discretion, common sense, flexibility, and making guests feel welcomed--not simply repeating, "It's policy." Policies are important. Hospitality is knowing how to apply them with common sense.

There was plenty of room for everyone. The main indoor space holds several tables and is equipped with a kitchen and restrooms. We also used a smaller barn for serving guests and used the huge lawn for vendor and beverage tents. There was also plenty of room on the grounds for a variety of food trucks and display cars for a car show. A full band was set up in an area large enough for a nice bandstand. I spoke with a woman who volunteers regularly at the venue. She had nothing but nice things to say about the management. Every inch of the grounds was clean and well-maintained. I'd definitely recommend it for events and special occasions.

Adding our recent pov if it might assist any others new to DF. It was our first time dining at their new location (on the west side of Van Dyke, formerly on the east side in a much simpler space). Clearly folks love it! DF has innumerable exuberant fans. "in crowd", Jam packed on an early Thursday evening. We appreciated being politely greeted and seated at our reservation time and were directed to the back room. It was rollicking at full capacity. Tables full of dinners, birthday celebrations and youngsters blabbing, showing off. The room was annoyingly loud. Installation of sound absorbing acoustical ceiling tiles could likely help excessive noise. We appreciated being seated in a booth which was more private than seated at an open table amongst "the crowd". A DF booth is a good place to sit only with your spouse, or date. They're small, you'll make close eye contact, touch each other's feet and nearly your knees under the table. We were promptly and politely served gourmet quality bread. We inquired about, then ordered two glasses of house wine -- note, it should accurately be described as children's juice box drink. Our dinner salad was fresh and delicious as were our Italian style chicken dishes. DF also serves delicious pasta with meat sauce after salad and before entree. Everything was well prepared and tastefully presented. Support staff helpful clearing dishes along the way. Portions generous -- nice bringing leftovers home for next day lunch.
