I was in town for a Lions game and because the local Hampton inn was booked I was refered to MG. I admit I was a little shakey when the cab driver pulled up. He himself had never been to this hotel. The outside does look a little dated and i wasn't comfortable that they had the side door open... More

Stayed at this locale during my second trip to Detroit since moving away. I had read several reviews about this motel....and I have to admit I was a little concerned about booking the place. However upon arriving my fears were eased. The staff was pleasant....check in was a breeze....and while I expected this to be a average motel it was... More

Although the landscaping is very nice and the grounds are clean, the outside of this hotel looks a little dated. The dirty windows, fading and peeling paint give this hotel a budget roadside motel look. As we walked the corridors toward our room, I thought to myself "what did I get us into!" There were washing machines and dryers in... More

Marvin's Garden Inn won't be for everybody. It's a rather odd hotel, with very cheap signage (e.g., "Hi" and "Bye" signs decorated with castles in the parking lot), and a freakishly funny vending machine out of which one can buy condoms, cigarettes, shampoo, or cupcakes. The front desk clerk wore a diaphanous leopard skin blouse. The housekeepers are dark-eyed beauties... More

You want to worry about sleeping with bugs in their newly decorated double queens. I checked in after a verly long drive from the St. Louis area. I explained to the clerk that I was going to be staying couple of nights there. I didn't have my wallet, because it was in the car, so I just payed cash for... More

First let me say that this was my second visit to Marvin's Garden, so my review is mixed. The first time around the room was great-- spacious, clean, great bed, awesome shower, and a nice location. Needless to say we decided to return again. This time we booked four nights, expecting the same quality visit we had the last time... More

Wow!!! I travel 4 times a month for 3-4 days each time for about 10 months of the year. My company and myself usually only book high end hotels or resorts to conduct my business meetings and for my comfort. Well, let me tell you, Thank God, Marvin's Garden Inn had availability when I desperately needed a 2 night stay... More

The outside of this place looked a bit run down and dodgy - however, when we got to our room - we were pleasantly surprised. It was modern, the bed and furnishings looked new and very stylish - great shower and nice clean bathroom. Unfortunately there was a party going on - on our floor at 4am which spoilt it... More

We reserved 4 rooms on line for the Final Four in April. This was the best deal in town! Admittedly a bit skeptical booking on line and not knowing the area, the accommodations and staff at the Marvins GArden Inn surpassed all expectations. A few calls were made by us re: reservations and each time the telephone staff was vey... More
