“Great Spot!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

The Townsend Hotel is a great spot. I was there for less than 12 hours, but really enjoyed my stay. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They arranged a car service for the next morning and even helped make a dinner reservation the moment I walked in. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and a good size. I especially enjoyed the sea salts to take a relaxing bath.

I had dinner at the Rugby Grille with a few co-workers where we enjoyed a selection of appetizers with a glass of wine. Once again, the quality of the food and service was great.

The only negatives are that it got extremely hot in to the middle of the evening and the down pillows flattened out the moment you put your head down.

The next morning they had a wonderful coffee station set up (I was impressed with the coffee cup lids) and the car service was was right on time. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

“Christmas Magic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

We had an incredible experience at the Townsend! From the moment we stepped out of our car until the moment we left to return home, we were in heaven! Every single member of your staff provided exceptional customer service. Miranda was at the front desk when we arrived and went out of her way to make us feel welcome! When she found out we were celebrating my birthday, she surprised us with cupcakes delivered to our room--what a sweet gesture! It is those extra touches that make the Townsend stand out! The entire staff is incredible... exceptional attention to detail and quality of service. Our breakfast at The Rugby Grill was delicious, the menu was impressive and the service great! As a former flight attendant, I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world & have stayed in some luxurious hotels....the Townsend surely stood up among them.

Townsend was a great place to stay for our anniversary. It is walking distance to shopping, dining, and theaters. Friendly staff. Luxury rooms. Worth thevprice.

“Pretentious and doesn't have free internet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

For business, I get to stay at this hotel once or twice a year. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice hotel, but the rooms are nothing spectacular, and not worth the extra cost. It also amazes me that with all you're paying, you don't get free internet. I stay at the Baymont hotel at the Detroit airport all of the time, and I pay $50 and I get free internet. Go figure.
