The breeze and the water made it very comfortable even on the decks enjoying the sun. We boarded at the Jefferson Beach Marina in St. Claire Shores. The Ovation yacht is three levels of accommodations for 300 people. The event was perfect with a DJ on the top level with an open bar. The second level was the food, lounge areas, photo booth and open bar. The third level was the live band and more food. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the waterways and views of the boats plus the shorelines of both countries. A trip down the Detroit River is such a pretty sight. Be sure to check out their website for the Ovation Summer Series of theme events. The Motown Series sells out fast!

After driving around aimlessly looking for some basketball courts with good ballin' to no avail and…read morebeing exhausted as a result, I looked up boat rides and came across this tour company. I looked them up, saw a time slot for 2:30pm, and made my way there. Parking was no issue as I parked for free a short walk away. There was a long line, but I was still able to get on. Cost was $20. Lower level had some snacks while upper level was open and had great views. Although it was a little hard to hear the tour guide speak as his voice came through the speakers a little muffled, I still got to learn a great deal about the history of the area and the various landmarks. In addition, it was so relaxing to just sit in my chair on the boat, kick back, and enjoy the awesome views all while it was in the 70s, not to mention take some excellent pictures. Boat ride was an hour which I felt was the perfect amount of time to be out. It was long enough that I could relax but short enough that I had enough time to do other things that day. Last paragraph here is just to say that I had this review rated at 4 stars due to the issues with the speakers, but I was still able to hear most of what the tour guide was saying, plus just being on the boat and taking in the views to me easily made it worth the $20 bucks spent.

One they allowed smokers even though they sell liqour and beer and according to Michigan law it is illegal to do that. Secondly they were severing partons beer until they were so drunk they could barely stand to get off of the boat and were about to get into their cars. Talk about irresponsible bartending, I would would be a witness in the even one of those poeple injured or killed someone. God know what other safety violations they may have.....take your life in your own hands.

That said, I have taken rides with the Clinton River Cruise on several occasions. Each time was with a group reservation, with catered buffet. The cruises really never venture out into unprotected waters, they simply afford a comfortable ride from downtown Mount Clemens to the mouth of the Clinton River, with a turn around in Lake St. Clair and return. They always have adequate seating, refreshments available, an occasional live band. The atmosphere aboard is light and lively, but in my case, that also depended on the group I was with. During periods of foul weather, they have nice side curtains what allow great views in an enclosed ship. For a pleasant outdoor activity, I couldn't recommend this company more.

This is a great way to see the city - even as a hometown girl, I love cruising down the river this way. I definitely recommend the bigger boat with a full bar - you can get up and walk around and dance. It's worth it! You can bring your own beverages and snacks in coolers, and even though I was nervous about the late night ride, it was awesome! The lights on the boat are low enough that they really don't attract bugs, which was my concern. This would be great for families, friend groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, any group that loves to have fun on the water. I highly recommend. The parking lot is a little bit interesting and smells of burning greeneries, and the port-a-potties are all that's available after 10pm, but even that part wasn't too bad. Fairly clean at the end of the night. Overall, a great time was had by us all.

I'm a huge fan of hotels that breathe new life into historic structures, and the Element in Detroit…read moreis a perfect example. This property is housed in the 1925 Metropolitan Building, a stunning Neo-Gothic "Jeweler's Building" that sat vacant for nearly 40 years. Seeing it restored to its former glory rather than being demolished is a win for the city.  The entrance lobby and the grand stairway to the second floor are phenomenal--the restoration team clearly put a lot of heart into preserving the marble and the ornate details. Because the hotel has to conform to the original historic footprint, the rooms are unique and oddly shaped. It was a refreshing change of pace to stay somewhere that broke out of the usual "cookie-cutter" hotel mold. My room featured a long internal hallway, a small kitchenette, and enough windows to provide a fantastic view of the Detroit skyline.  Check-in was seamless, and the staff were excellent throughout my stay. I initially considered subtracting a star because my room lacked a steamer, but the breakfast service won me back. The made-to-order omelets and the yogurt granola station were top-notch, and that high-quality start to the day made up for any minor room omissions. If you appreciate architecture with a history and a bit of character, this is definitely the place to stay in Detroit.
