My boyfriend and I stayed over Memorial Day Weekend. The musty smell spilled over from the bathroom to fill the whole room. The carpet, bath, and bed linens were filthy. We got a really cheap rate from Hotwire, and that was the only saving grace. Oh, and the breakfast. They put out a really nice buffet every morning for free.... more

I stayed at this hotel on May 20/09. Located right downtown, this hotel has $18.00 valet parking which I was aware of from previous reviews. I did however find the valets very accomodating, while allowing me to keep my vehicle in their lot 4 hrs after checking out, while I attended a Tigers ballgame - without any aggravation or hassle.... more

My company sent me there for four nights while I conducted training sessions at the Detroit office. It was just a few blocks away, so that aspect was great. It was a 3 minute walk, tops. The good: The hotel restaurant, where I ate every night because I was so tired after work, has fairly decent food and a friendly... more

Hey, so I stayed at the HIE for 2 nights because I go to Wayne State University and needed a quiet place to study for finals. Well I read most of the bad reviews, but I also know that most people expect way too much from hotels. They staff are all super friendly and polite. The front desk manager called... more

My daughter (8) and I had tix to an event at the Joe Louis Arena. Given that this hotel was 1/4 mile from the venue, and a Holiday Inn, I booked it. I didn't want to worry about where to park or getting lost in Detroit in the early morning hours when the event ended. I have stayed in many... more

We stayed here in October 2008 in order to be close to the start of the Detroit Marathon. We had a very pleasant stay. The room was nice, the staff was friendly, the hotel was clean and pleasant. The staff even were up very early the morning of the race to serve breakfast at 4:30am to guests participating in the... more

After reading mixed reviews on this place, I wasn't sure what to expect. I booked a room using Priority Club points for one night, as we had Tiger tickets for 2 days in a row (night game Saturday followed by a day game Sunday). As a Priority Club Platinum member, we were upgraded to a VERY LARGE suite, perhaps the... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express - Downtown Detroit, for business in August, 2008. The hotel is located in a newly-revitalized area of downtown Detroit, and within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. While it's great to see a new hotel downtown, this hotel suffered from a couple of challenges. First, my room (a nonsmoking room) had multiple... more

We stayed at this hotel to go to Ford Field for a concert. It was a short walk to the venue, but the hotel bar provided a free shuttle so we took the shuttle. It was very convenient. The hotel is clean and comfortable and a good value for the money. The Hard Rock Cafe is also just a short... more
