Came here for a yelp IHOP @Applebees event to check this place out.
The closest bathroom is 47 steps from the entrance of the restaurant. That's a negative for me.
Our initial waiter, Tyrell, took forever to get stop by - actually the manager had to send him over. After not getting anywhere, we picked up another waiter, Jace, who was amazing! Got us drinks, food, and refilled drinks on the spot - he's the reason this post gets another star.
Supervisors/ managers have stopped by to check on us - we had a good talk with manager Heather.
We ordered pancakes and chicken&waffles. Pancakes always taste amazing. The chicken was crispy and moist. Waffles were stayed crispy.
There was a buffet of Applebee's food ---
Chicken Buffalo Wings - heated, but doesn't over power other flavors.
Honey BBQ Wings - has sweetness, but not too sweet. Chicken was moist, not over fried.
Taco Queso Dip - taco toppings in there regular queso drip, but with taco toppings. I'm not a fan of peppers, so I rather have the regular queso. My husband would want more taco toppings.
Spinach/Artichoke Dip - creamy, not over salty.
The location is easy to get to, just across from the RenCen with a People Mover station. The restaurant is in hotel lobby and easy for public to get to.
The restaurant and hotel lobby has lots of various types of seating, with outlets and USB charging area.
This would be a good stop for food and drink after an event; however, I have Applebee's and IHop's closer to home and wouldn't go to Detroit just for this.
One big negative for me - I parked in the Millendar Center and it cost me $20 to park. Park elsewhere.
