This thread refers to the various Marriott brands within a specific geographic area. Marriott Bonvoy hotels in XX usually have posts asking which property is better, etc. Trip reports are usually better suited in the property specific threads.

2. Depends on the award points offered, but for some it might be an option. Another option that I am starting to see in some SPG hotels is offering daily points for not cleaning the room.
BTW, thanks for dropping by on FT. It is noticed and appreciated. ^

Been to both - the Baronette is close to a lot more food options - no lounge, and didn't give coupons - was there as gold - but you may have more "clout". Livonia does have a lounge/access, and very close to the Novi area w/ just as many dining/shopping options. You should also check out The Henry - stayed there the day of the change - the once Ritz in Dearborn - also has lounge, but check on weekend status

Sorry that I am late responding... Am on vacation 
Plat Elite members get a choice of points or an amenity upon arrival. Most of our Plat Elites take the points.

THX for the ideas! We will test the room credit idea. We do offer points in lieu of cleaning the room during a stay as well and had become popular.
1. Possibly a room credit (i.e. $10 or something like that.) A free movie. Make two choices on the Plat amenity card. I don't know much about what services your hotel offers, but if you had poolside cabanas for rent, you could offer either a reduced price or free use. (I realize that given your location you probably don't have pool cabanas, but used that as an example.)

It's been some time since someone reviewed the Marriott RenCen. I need to visit a client downtown and was thinking of the RenCen or the Westin. The Westin is a little closer to my client but either one would be good location-wise.
Anybody stay in downtown Detroit lately?
Thanks!

I stayed at the Livonia Marriott for about 6 months, so I know all of the details about the hotel. Does anyone have any information about the new Baronette Renaissance?
I am flying up my brothers and my dad, and we are going to a U of Michigan game on Labor Day Weekend. My company has a rate of $82 (includes bfast and internet) at the Livonia Marriott, or $90 at the Baronette.
Any help with this decision would be great!

Will be staying at the Ren tomorrow night. I called the property today to see if the GM who posted in this thread would be working tomorrow, so I could meet him. He's no longer there. Because I'm short on time/running late to leave today, I didn't ask if he transferred to a dif property or left Marriott. The FDC I spoke with was quite friendly, and will be working when I check in tomorrow.
Will do a 'trip report' after my stay, although given it will be Xmas Eve it might be totally accurate for reg biz stays.
Cheers.

I ended up staying at The Dearborn Inn, so didn't make it to the Baronette Ren.
When I contacted them last month to get an update on lounge, was told the following:
NO LOUNGE; COUPONS for Gold/Plat M-F only; Gold/Plats also get a few complimentary items from pantry (not specified which items); 07/15/12 update
Cheers.

Would suggest that you call the property and find out details.

Stayed there a while back and coupon was not for a full breakfast. IIRC they had a separate table set up for about an hour and you could get coffee, juice, and a pastry item. Or if you missed the hour they had that then you could use the coupon towards your choice of breakfast items but the coupon was only good for eight dollars. You had to pay the balance which was about another eight or ten dollars.

......perhaps you got a limited breakfast because that's ALL you're entitled to:
".............we invite you to enjoy complimentary continental breakfast on your weekday stays"
