It might have better prospects if it wasn't in such an awkward place. I always wondered who would want to stay in a "luxury" hotel marooned at the edge of a giant mall parking lot. Other than Ford execs/visitors it's hard to see what the continuing market would be for that place. Particularly after hotels downtown have seen such a revival, and the people mover that connected it to the mall and something, anything, to do was eliminated.

I'm also not surprised by the "structural issues" since it was built on marshy land that was once part of the Rouge floodplain [[before the Corps of Engineers turned it into a concrete ditch). I foresee it becoming yet another glitzy, but cheaply built, concrete and glass 1970s ruin.
