Tips About This Business
The hotel is one of the choice hotels each winter during the North American International Auto Show, when automakers unveil their new car models at Cobo Hall.
The Pontchartrain is an ideal spot for visitors to Detroit's annual Jazz Festival. Much of the music unfolds right across the street in Hart Plaza.
If possible, right up front by the windows, for a nice view of Canada and the river. In warmer weather, the outside patio area is a must.

Very poor attention to guest. Management can never be reached when issues arise. This hotel should of never been remodeled the charm it had is gone. If its not broke don't try to fix it the management should of been remodeled. I really wanted my money but of coarse there was no one to talk to. What a waste

+ Your right downtown
Cons

The Sheraton is a nice enough hotel, but I found their prices higher than comparable hotels in the area. I have only stayed here once, but make sure and do your homework.
