Crain's Detroit Business (June 6, 2018) has an article about the reflagging:

According to the article, it's the same owner as the Radisson. At the time of the article, the hotel had remodeled 271 rooms, with 59 left to do. The renovation also includes a new concierge lounge.
The hotel has had a number of names over the years: Hilton Airport Inn, Doubletree Hotel Detroit Airport, Metropolitan Hotel, Radisson Hotel Detroit Metro Airport, before now being the Delta Hotels Detroit Metro Airport. That's not a good sign.
Earlier this year, I stayed at the Detroit Metro Airport Marriott. The rate was low, and everything was as one would expect at a typical airport Marriott. I would stay there again if I need to stay near DTW again. I would be wary of the Delta Hotels Detroit Metro Airport unless there is suddenly a deluge of wonderful reviews on Marriott.com and Tripadvisor.
