La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Detroit Metro Airport

8/10 Good

"Decent stay. No major complaints. Base expectations on hotel brand."

Best Western Greenfield Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This place is really cool! It’s a blast from the past. The rooms were excellent, beds very comfy, the parking was gated, the pool was nice. We used the gym and it was enough for a solid workout. The hallways are long corridors that look so cool, like you’re stepping into a regal old movie. I’d highly recommend this place!"

Hotel Houze Detroit Downtown

8/10 Good

"We stayed here this past weekend. The room itself was big & spacious. The front desk attendant however was pretty rude when we arrived. We are from out of town so tried to call & see if we could check in early but just got left on hold. Upon arrival (we were about 30-45 minutes early) we asked if their was any early check in and she said check in was at 4 accross the board without even checking if any rooms were ready… we then asked if we could store our bags at least and she said do we look like we do bag storage which is a pretty rude way of communicating that wasn’t an option. We returned later after getting some food and there was a new desk attendant who was much kinder a young gentleman and he had a much better attitude & responses. The room itself was a lot bigger than expected & very spacious. The location is pretty central so within walking distance to a lot of sites/ food etc. the building does have a lot of interesting characters that hangout out front (homeless etc) but they didn’t bother us we just went on our way. I would stay here again for the price point/ convenience but if you’re looking for the 5 star hotel service/ experience this is not it. It feels more like a airbnb or rented apartment."
