Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location but this hotel is starting to show its age. Windows are not good at reducing street noise and the elevators are quite old and jerky. Staff were very nice and lots of dining options within walking distance."

Hotel Houze Detroit Downtown

8/10 Good

"⭐ Quick Review – Houze Hotel Detroit I stayed at the Houze Hotel in Detroit for a one‑night visit, and overall it served its purpose well. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who handled my check‑in quickly and provided the link for my digital key. The studio‑style room was clean and surprisingly well‑equipped — refrigerator, stove, dishes, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and even an ironing board. For a short stay, having all those amenities made things easy and comfortable. The location was another plus: centrally placed and just minutes from the Fox Theater, which made getting around downtown simple. It wasn’t a luxury stay, but it was convenient, clean, and exactly what I needed for a quick overnight in the city"

AC Hotel by Marriott Detroit at the Bonstelle

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, room large and very clean!"

Hilton Garden Inn Detroit Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great except I think the breakfast buffet should be free."
