First off, our room was crawling with bed bugs. Secondly, after checkout, we received a bill for $226 in unknown damages. After many, many calls to management (which were not taken seriously), we finally discovered that the damages we were forced to pay for included: 1. A broken mirror in the room across the hall (where none of our party... More

For those looking for a nice location less than 20 minute walk from the Detroit Rennassance center this is the place. Nice clean room with queen or King size seems to be a lot of choice. Plenty of desk room for writing reports after the week long meetings at the Marriott Rennasance Center. Very Nice buffet breakfast and the 6:20... More

Good Location and service, usually I have found Holiday Inn situated in any corner of the city, but here in Detroit it was close to the River, metro, Museum etc. Service is fine, but their cab service is so good. Breakfast is good, and rooms are big enough. Pool in the top most floor has good views.

I stayed here for a single night to spend some time in Downtown Detroit. First of all, the location of the hotel is just great. You are in the middle of downtown and walk anywhere. Considering the location and the room rate, it is just valueable to stay here. However, the hotel is old and not very well maintained. Upper... More

The room looked like it was not vacuumed in a couple days. The bed skirting had a big stain on it. The biggest complaint. Was the noisy doors on all room. As the slam shut you could heareverytime. Some one left there room. Stayed at other H.I.Expresses and this was the only one like it.

Shuttle service by Ricky was great! I appreciated the helpful information and suggestions provided and the friendly interaction. The front desk service by Rachel Murdoch and staff was excellent!! As it was my first trip ever to Michigan, I really appreciated info and advice shared. Also the last minute accommodations. The ladies with the breakfast provide great service as well.

The first thing you notice pulling up to the Detroit Holiday Inn Express is the Westin next door. I usually don't have hotel envy, but, well, this Holiday Inn is a drab-looking vertical cube. It does not proclaim, "stay here." I'm sure the rates were better at Express, but who cares when the building next door is one of those... More
