I was worried when I read some of the reviews that this hotel would be too far of a walk to Comerica Park. It was a perfect walk! We stayed here in early May for a Tiger's game. My husband and I brought our 3 children and most definitely enjoyed our stay! Check in was quick and painless. The valet... More

The staff was very pleasant and professional. The valet service was awesome also. I was able to request to have my car available at a specific time and each day it would be outside waiting. More

The staff was so friendly and helpful. This was a one-night stop over. I would like to compliment the valet staff (especially Moe and David) as they made our trip so much easier. We were in town to renew a passport for an upcoming trip. The hotel is 2 blocks from the facility, hence why we selected this hotel. The... More

This downtown hotel is in close walking distance of the COBO Center and other downtown attractions. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, good hot breakfast daily and a separate bar/restaurant next door, (Big City Grille) Too many smokers allowed at the entrance of the hotel makes a bad impression. Television stations did not match the in-room guide so you surf the channels... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. While you were here we were going through a Direct TV upgrade and the channel guides have been fixed. We also have moved the smoking area down the sidewalk further to avoid a cloud of smoke when you walk into the building. I appreciate that you took the time to... More

Thank you for contacting us regarding your stay last year May 2011. I want to apologize for the inconveniences that occurred during your stay. During that period we were not a Holiday Inn Express and the hotel was being run by a different management team. I would like to invite you back to the property to receive the Holiday Inn... More

My son booked this on his phone on the way to Detriot.

I was under the understanding that there was 24 Hr coffee. Disappointed 3 times! The elevators were super scary. One of the elevators we went into wouldnt even close! The others shaked and rattled.

Stayed in a large clean, room on the 16th floor. No complaints - I think we had one of the largest rooms they have though. The breakfast was terrible, huge line up, pancake machine was off, no coffee, waited for bacon and fresh eggs..... they really need a toasting conveyor type machine. That alone would have sped up the line... More
