Stayed at the Shorecrest on MLK day while visiting the auto show. The staff was very friendly and the room was fine, not spectacuar, but a good value. They let us park all day for the auto show in the motel lot, even after we checked out. Good location and you cant beat the price. More

Decent cheap alternative for a night in downtown Detroit. Meets all reasonable expectations. Clean enough, warm enough, safe enough and close to anything you would wanna experience downtown. More

This place is old all the entry doors are from the out side. We rented 8 rooms for our group not one door had an air tight seal. You could hear the wind blow through. Out of the 8 rooms 2 were in my opinion useable. All the rooms smelled of stale smoke. All my cloths stink of smoke. The... More

I came for a conference in Renaissance center, and this motel seemed a good solution for my needs - cheap and close. It is 5 minutes walk, and I walked during the day, but to come back at evening I had to take cab. And for the service it provides it is overpriced. The room was clean but this is... More

The front desk staff was very accommodating and helpful. The room was clean and well equipped, and it is true that one of the chamber maids looks like she comes off the street and is somewhat distant but she does her job well. However, the others are very friendly. The restaurant has great food and a clean, friendly atmosphere the... More

I'm a very easy person to please. I don't mind little hotel rooms with basic needs. This hotel was just horrible though! Within the first 2 minutes of even being there, at the lobby, we already had a guy bothering us to let us help him get a room because he only had a paper id. When we got inside... More

My son and I stayed at this Inn while in town for our first visit to the city to experience the Detroit Jazz Festival. Upon checking out of the Inn and loading our things, we discovered that someone had smashed my driver's side window and stolen all of our things. I notified the front desk clerk and was amazed at...

Shorecrest is 3 blocks from Detroit's monorail PeopleMover (50 cent rides) which connects to anything downtown. We have stayed here 2 different times for Comerica Park ball games (less than a mile from park, have easily walked it.) Free continental breakfast, courteous staff, working ice machine, a/c, running hot/cold water, free in lot parking, 1/2 block away (opposite direction from... More
