There were many amenities like, a great basic variety of linen to choose from, uplighting, a fog machine(I didn't use), a grand piano( which I hired a pianist to play during my entry), full service bar with a wine cooler, ice machine and fridge and sink( with the top shelf liquor my husband stocked and the ideal bartender my guest raved over the open bar), the VIP room was great, the bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and stocked. The space in size was great! The separate entrance for vendors was ideal. The kitchen had everything a cater would need to prep for your event even though it's no cooking on site. The owner LaDonna and husband Gerald were awesome! They made sure that everything flowed smoothly for me. The hospitality they offered was beyond being just business owners; my experience was very personable. LaDonna made suggestions throughout my planning process and I absolutely loved the ideas! Over half of my guest inquired with me for information to book an event at RSVP Event Space. I hope more people bless this lovely couple with business they are well deserving and you definitely will be pleased!

The person who came to check on the phone which wasn't working and also the person who came to fix the toilet were both very friendly and got in and out. I went to grab a drink of water at the bar and both people working there were super nice and accommodating. The Pros are it's super convenient to the convention center, river walk, Hart plaza, the people mover and the QLine. You can get anywhere from here pretty easily. The Cons are they need to do some updating especially for these rates. The paint was chipping off the the bathroom door. The ironing board was so short and small like it was made for a hobbit. The occasional table was pretty beat up. The decor and carpet needs a refresh. It's not the worst but again at the rates they charge it should be updated. The room overall including the beds and bathroom were nice and comfortable. And it was good use of the space with a chaise lounge to enjoy the view. Again the staff was the best part and the comfy bed. And the location is FANTASTIC! A few upgrades and this will be a jewel!

Bed was comfortable and linens were nice. Check in (Tommy)was fast and efficient and valet parking a breeze. My only complaint was room only had decaf coffee. I asked at the desk for 4 regular coffee pods and was told " I only have 3" . No apologies, no offer to have housekeeping drop some by...nothing. I felt the service attitude of this front desk girl lacking. It was not busy and there was no reason she could not be more accommodating. We took the elevator to the 25th floor to. Check out the view and have a cocktail. Staff there were very nice. The indoor pool is small but the hot tub was relaxing. I would stay again if I was in Detroit

The sunset was beautiful. The night skylines were breathtaking on both the U.S. and Canada sides. The music was excellent. The band was very talented on the lower level and I got my hustle on with a little wobble on the upper deck with the DJ on the 1s & 2s. The staff was very nice from boarding to our departure. The staff was quick to retrieve empty plates and glasses. The Spanish inspired meal was delicious. From the Spanish Paella to the Spanish Flan and everything in between.

It was truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a beautiful lake view wedding with a stress-free experience, IOYC is the way to go! Their team takes so much of the planning and wedding-day coordination off your shoulders while connecting you with trusted, experienced IOYC vendors for flowers, DJ, photography/videography, cake, linens, and more. On our wedding day, their team made sure everyone in the wedding party was comfortable, prepared, and taken care of before the ceremony began. Everything from the procession to the ceremony ran smoothly, seamlessly, and on time. Most importantly, my husband and I were able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every moment. Our guests were incredibly well cared for throughout the evening, and even at the end of the night, having their cars valeted and ready for them made leaving effortless and was such a thoughtful final touch. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food and drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and dancing made the entire experience unforgettable. The reduced stress, quality of care, and overall experience made every penny spent absolutely worth it. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to begin our forever!

I used to come here for kids when it was called Cobo Hall and I would watch the NBA basketball games here. This time I was here for an event for a group of ladies called the Links. Everything really is good here but the food is just okay, but they can serve it fast. Lots of walking here, it takes a little bit to figure out the space but I can also have access to the people over here. There's also inexpensive phone charging equipment.

It's located downtown and easy to find due to its size, it gives major convention center energy. They do have an attached parking garage, but with how busy the tournament was (teams and families traveling in from all over), it was often full and figured the price would be high, so we didn't park there. There is street parking and several nearby garages, but pricing varies depending on demand. If you have time, shop around for parking because some garages charge way higher. The tournament took place on the main level (first floor), and entry wasn't cheap. They offer both day passes and weekend passes, with different pricing for adults and students. Payment was convenient, they accept both card and cash. For 1 adult weekend pass, it was $75.99. Before entering the main courts area, there were several stands set up where you could purchase drink/snacks. Staff at the entrance checked for wristbands, but I didn't notice strict bag checks so outside bags, food, and drinks seemed to be allowed, at least from what I observed. Once inside, the setup was impressive. There were around 20+ courts (I'd say about 22), signs and maps were available to help navigate. Each court had visible numbering on the basket posts, along with digital scoreboards and shot clocks. I did notice that some games enforced the shot clock more consistently than others which confuses players. Restrooms were located along the perimeter walls, clearly marked and easy to find. For the most part, they were clean and well maintained despite the heavy traffic. Seating was available for spectators, which made it easier to move between games and still find a place to sit. I really enjoyed stopping by the Visit Detroit booth while in Detroit! They had a nice variety of freebies: stickers, pens, and plenty of booklets, maps, and pamphlets highlighting things to do around the city. My adventurous side (and love for a good freebie ) was definitely excited! It was a great way to get a quick feel for what Detroit has to offer, and it honestly made me want to come back and explore the city even more. This is a well-organized venue for a tournament of this size, just be prepared for crowds, parking challenges, and higher entry costs during major events.

It is geared towards women and nonbinary individuals and created a safe and supportive environment for them to grow their dreams and aspirations in, but it is open to any and all who want to check it out! Anyone can have access to the main floor of BasBlue, where there is an INCREDIBLE cafe to get delicious drinks and food from. There is also a ton of seating for you to enjoy your food and drink and to cowork from as well. If you want to become a member, the upper floors are open to you with more collaborative and private spaces for you to enjoy! It is a non-profit organization and just a gloriously safe and intentionally-curated space to foster creativity and amazing vibes. I always feel so at peace and centered when I'm at BasBlue and love to take meetings from here as often as I can! It's located very close to the DIA, but only open during the weekdays. So pay attention to their hours and if you're looking for a great place to work from or are interested in learning more about what a membership here could bring, definitely check BasBlue out!!

This is a very nicely renovated mansion turned into a woman's club. Like a late 1800's gentleman's club, only for women. There is a locker room/workout room/nursing area, but I did not see them because I am not a woman. They have lectures and groups within the club. They have a full kitchen, and the usual food on offer seemed like you would expect at a starbucks or better. They have drinks, coffee, and wine. The wine was higher end. And they use an ordering app so members at different rooms of the club can order easily. Lots of rooms. Dining and lecture rooms, lounge and club type rooms, conference rooms. A large event room. All really nice. There are smaller serving bars on the second and third floors. Depending on age, annual membership is 600 or 1200 dollars. It looked great. Maybe it could have used more restrooms, but that is sort of reaching for something negative to say.
