Room was good. Parking should be included with they stay. Was disappointed that I had to payextra for parking. This is the first ti.e that I had to pay for parking ontop off the room. I would consider staying else where for my next visit.

We stayed here for a girls night in August. Unfortunatly the pool is on the small side and it's right off the reception so not private to get to. Ordered pizza delivered because the restaurants around the area were too expensive. View was lovely and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. 8.5/10

They are currently doing renovations to the parking lot, when we arrived we were told there is no onsite parking available. They directed us to a parking garage two blocks away. Our reward for dragging our things through the freezing cold was to be charged $20 for parking. I hope the Holiday Inn corporate guys get wind of this situation because it’s ridiculous and unreasonable in a Canadian Winter. Charging customers for a major inconvenience is very unfair.

The property is a nice value, alternative to Caesars Windsor. The riverview suite was nice as it had 2 separate rooms, as well as two separate bathrooms, refrigerators, and microwaves. However, the sofa bed matress was thin, uncomfortable, and seemed heavily used; it should likely be replaced. The hotel parking lot is small but there is a parking structure nearby. I would stay again!

Room was spotless. Smaller than I expected but it had everything in it I needed. My only complaint was the parking lot was tiny so we had to park at a nearby garage for an higher fee (I was told parking lot and parking ramp were same price, they were not. It’s always a nice perk to have free Breakfast when out and about.

Conveniently located with great views of Detroit river and city skyline if you get a room facing this side. Overall hotel requires upgrades, not very clean, bedsheets not changed from previous guests and bedbugs!!!! Water in the pool looked more like a soup. Staff was not always very accommodating, depends who was working the front desk, clearly some of them had zero previous working experience. Best thing about this hotel was breakfast i a spacious 2 story lunchroom. Everyone is charged for parking but spots at their lot are very limited, they have extra spaces in the multistory parking garage 1 block away. Riverside pedestrian passage is just outside across the street, casino is also within walking distance, The Keg is 1/2 block away and Goose restaurant with patio is attached to the hotel- has great food and drinks!

No room to park. The guy in the suit last night was intimidating and rude. Following us through the parking lot and coming to our car being extremely condescending and acting like he was going to catch us not supposed to be there. He then acted like I was getting an attitude and followed us all the way into the building to make sure we actually had a reservation. Then I woke up this morning after sleeping in the bed and I had bug bites all over my knees and hands. I would like a refund.

Ok hotel. The room was supposed to be River view, and indeed the window was toward the river, but we could only see some wall and a piece of roof with airconditioners but no river. The onsite parking was in a large parking garage accross a few streets. Bur the area is nice - on the river and close to the casino complex.

Scared and threatened; the security guy in suit followed our ladies and us most of the time, outside the hotel, in the hallway, parking area, and dining area. Our ladies and children were scared. The security guy and the hotel manager lady (whatever their personal relationship is) were threatening us that they will call police and they don't care whatever our problem is (in an IHG hotel? seriously?). Everytime we tried to say something, the manger lady threatened that they will call police and the security guy was always withing a few inches of us. We felt like the security guy (as he identified himself) in suit is in control of the whole managemnt. (Only the kitchen staff were great and helpful and not corrupted by the security guy and the manager!) The manager even told me to take their name as nothing will happen to them. The whole management and security guy must be removed from IHG hotels. One lady at the desk confirmed our room arrangement, and when we arrived there, all ladies at the front desk said, they don't know anything and they will call police if we speak louder. This was very scary. The security guy was always within a few inches beside us and always threatening and interfering the conversation. The whole staff at the desk are like a gang or mob under the security guy. The security guy and the manager lady must be removed from any hotel jobs. I never complained in 10 years on Hotels.com or IHG. Although, I like IHG, this is a disgrace for IHG hotels.

Best location and stay experience ever had. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great breakfast. They have hot and cold meal with lots of options. We stayed there for 4 days and they served hot meal with different choices everyday. Coffee and tea are available all day long. One thing that I like about this hotel is their Managers are there standing in front of the lobby of the dining hall to greet all their guests as they come in for breakfast. And they’re there during the breakfast hours. Such a nice gesture to show how they welcome you at their hotel. Although the room is slightly small for 3 people but it’s comfortable. Hotel is renovated and clean. Great amenities in the room. They have microwave, coffee maker, fridge and safe that are all working. I said this because we also stayed at the holiday Inn Ambassador and it was ok experience that we had there. Few flaws in the HI Ambassador are: no microwave, no safe and coffee maker wasn’t working. The location is perfect. Yhe riverside is right across the street. You can walk down by the sea wall even at late night and feeling safe. Lots of restaurants to choose like the keg, loose and goose pub which their food and drinks are good. Parking is not free but only cost $19 per stay which is cheap and safe. Really love the area. Highly recommend to stay here. We’re definitely coming back to stay at this hotel.
