Ihop/applebee's - Detroit

We are in Detroit for a medical emergency and our loved one is in surgery and we need to get our mind off of it. The service was so kind and wonderful that it brought some joy to an otherwise earthshatering day. I can't thank everyone of them so much for that moment of sunshine

Delicious pancakes and great value for what i paid. Erin was a great server!

There is a wait time. Server was friendly. Food was meh, not bad but not memorable. Options were limited compared to other IHOPs, makes sense as it's a small location inside Applebee's and not a full restaurant like most other IHOPs.

Malcolm (server) had an enthusiasm that was incredible, and brightened each day! Limited menu, and food was what you would expect. Vanilla latte was reasonably priced and got me going.

The hotel doesn't staff the dining area enough at all, you have to wait at the hostess stand or coffee bar for at least fifteen minutes before you see anyone and then it's never the right person to help you they just say someone will be by soon. The person making our coffee got two orders wrong and after 45 min of waiting we didn't feel like waiting longer for him to fix it so we just cut out losses and left. You need to actually staff your hotel and pay them better,minimum wage gets minimum effort.
