Top Wayne State University Hotel Reviews

Hollywood Casino at Greektown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Inn at 97 Winder

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful place! The decor and architecture were fantastic, the room comfortable, and the staff attentive. A calm oasis that is also very convenient to downtown. Would 100% stay here again."

Trumbull and Porter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here a few times when we come to town. The hotel is on a nice quiet street but still walking distance to Michigan Ave with a lot of excellent restaurants nearby. Nice to have a gated parking lot with in and out entry. Also love that the kitchen is now open at the hotel and the food is pretty good. The rooms are spacious and spotless and very comfortable for myself, my husband and our pup. Highly recommend and will continue to stay here whenever we visit Detroit!"

Atheneum Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"In the heart of Greektown. Clean and very spacious. Low parking rates."

AC Hotel by Marriott Detroit at the Bonstelle

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Probably the best maintained hotel I've been to in quite a while and definitely at his price point. Solid staff. Very nice, albeit small, room."

The Inn on Ferry Street

10/10 Excellent

"Under renovation but still wonderful."

El Moore Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is outstanding. It has so much character, is beautifully designed and maintained, and the staff are delightful. Everything is quality but not over the top. I will be going back if they'll have me."

Modern Retreat Near Henry Ford

10/10 Excellent

"Great property in a quiet, safe, residential area. Close to Henry Ford, Motown and convenient to getting anywhere in the city. Loved the location and enjoyed exploring with the host’s recommendations. We didn’t have to park, but there was gated parking onsite. If you’re not familiar with Detroit, I’d recommend getting a car because while very walkable, you’re not close enough to downtown to do so. Either way, it’s a great space and I’d absolutely stay again!!"
