Holiday Inn Exp Stes Downtown, Detroit

We stayed here during the Downtown Hoedown. Our room was clean, had a few problems at check in but they were resolved. The hotel was a mess by the second morning, but that's more because of the drunk idiots tearing the place up. We were kept up by them all night, also, so the hotel didn't do much when it came to controlling the rowdy crowd. They did not make us think you had to valet park, they just asked if we wanted to. The price was reasonable and the room was nicer than it looked in the pictures I found online. The pool area was a mess of cups and cans, they should've cleaned it up, but it was cool because the pool is on the top floor with an awesome city view. I would stay again, just not on a weekend with so many crazy drunk people.

Do not valet park. They make you think you have to when you arrive. There were 3 car break ins of people who valet parked (windows broken out). Our friend's car was one of them. They offer to have it fixed if you pay $110.00 cash, not check!! Dirty hotel, dark and narrow hallways, check in was a nightmare. We arrived at 4:45 p.m. Our room was not ready until 7:30 p.m. Air conditioner/heater hanging out the window had dirtily filters hanging out of it as well as a dirty cleaning rag left on the bathroom floor w/strings of hair left in bathtub. We were a group of teachers attending a technology conference at Cobo. Lesson Learned: Never stay at this HOTEL, again!!

I liked nothing about this hotel. Our bathroom smelled like a skunk, we had a hot water tank generator or something outside our window that turned on and off all night it sounded like a helicoptor taking off. We were going to stay 2 nights decided against it after no sleep. When we complained to the Manager he never even offered to switch our rooms (NOTHING). The free breakfast was cereal and apples. The waitress was very rude. The vallet messed up something with our car and the horn, wipers, door locks, radio wouldn't work. We got it fixed before leaving. As we were getting ready to pull out the car behind us vallet hit the back end of our car with a luggage rack. Never checked out our car and walked away.

We had no dislikes about this place. Tons of complements, staff was very friendly and helpful..... the rooms are nice and clean...... the bathroom was also very clean.... the bed was very comfy and soft.... all-in-all, it was a great visit..... we will definitely be back!!

i have been staying at this hotel every time i come to Detroit for over 5yrs. whether it's for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, a Concert, or just a night out in Detroit i've always had and excellent experience here. the staff is extremely nice, the rooms are clean, and it's close to everything you want to be close to in downtown Detroit. highly recommend it!

I stayed at the hotel for a Kenny Chesney concert and was excited about the location. The hotel is a short walk (approx. 5 blocks) from Ford Field, where the concert was held. Another "like" was the deluxe continental breakfast, which was included with the room rate. The reason I thought the place was a bit pricey was because I paid just a little over $150 for one night and the toilet and sink were slow to drain and the room was nothing fancy. For the price paid, I expected a little more than just a regular looking hotel room. The breakfast and location, though, made the shortcomings easier to overlook. There is also a great bar/restaurant attached to the hotel and the pasta is absolutely delicious. After the concert (around 11:15 pm), the restaurant was still open and it was extremely convenient to be able to grab a bite to eat.

An excellent value for the money - clean, safe, and quiet.

Check in time:3:00pm - room finally ready at 6pm... House Keeping a 'little' behind.

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel. Excellent location, 1 block from people mover and within walking distance of many downtown sites. Must use valet parking but that was ok with us. Loved the continental breakfast. Our beds were so comfy! They actually give you different softness of pillows! Very nice fitness room, decent business center though computers need to be upgraded. The pool was open and well kept. The one thing I could recommend them to improve upon is the elevators...many lights didn't work and they seemed to act a little whacky.

Likes: -Free cookies when you check in, yum! -Free access to a guest computer with internet access and printer -Yummy smelling shampoo & lotion -100% non-smoking -$99 per night "managers special" (you just have to ask) Dislikes: -No ramp to wheel luggage cart up, you have to try and pop the curb. -when I returned to my room after 11pm, the sliding "automatic" door wouldn't open to let me in, and their was no one in the lobby, I had to bang on the glass, then the guy asked if I was a guest with a room in the hotel(rude!) -No microwave or mini fridges in room, or lobby.
