Marriot does not have balconies. Depending on which way you're facing and what level you're on though, the view is pretty sweet. The 100-400 towers have about 35 floors, so make sure you get something above that just in case you're facing a tower. My least favorite view is facing north up the river or up Jefferson, but looking across the river, towards downtown or down river is pretty sweet. You can get a decent rate as long as there are no sports games or other events in Detroit, but that applies to all of the hotels down here.
