Wonderful experience. The concierge had a wealth of knowledge. We spent most of our time in the hot tub, sauna, and Olympic size swimming pool. The rooms were huge and spotless. Dinner in the dining room was fit for a king. If your in the Detroit area and want to live like royalty, hotel yorba is a must.

Had to take a picture of my Cadillac and the Hotel Yorba before there is no picture to take. Raised in Southwest Detroit 53 years and never stepped foot inside.
8.0
I don't understand the negative reviews. My family and I stayed here during our vacation. Though the building is older. It is well maintained. The service was second to none. The staff was very helpful with suggestions of interesting points of interest to visit. The rooms were very clean.

This place is tight as hell. Residents are friendly almost to a fault. Pool is well maintained. Great continental lunch. Be sure to say Mike and Raven sent you for a 15% discount and free turn down service.
