150 Guests Who Unwittingly Booked Rooms In High-End Motown Hotel In Foreclosure Bolt As Malfunctioning A/C, Ice Machines Make Visitors Feel The Heat

In Detroit, Michigan, WXYZ-TV Channel 7 reports:
  • Hundreds of guests are steaming mad about the service they've been receiving while guests at the Detroit Riverside Hotel. Now Action News has learned the hotel is just days away from foreclosure and knew about it before booking hundreds of rooms. Guests say they haven't had air conditioning, lights, working TVs or even towels. Ice machines weren't even working.

  • Management tells Action News that the hotel is having financial problems, and hasn't been able to pay their employees in weeks. Without a paycheck, many of the employees have now refused to work. So far, 150 guests have left the hotel. The hotel has moved 250 guests to the part of the hotel that still has air conditioning. The restaurant at the hotel is also closed.
