What guests think

At Hilton Garden Inn Detroit Metro Airport, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the convenient, frequent airport shuttle, while noting useful on-site options like a bar, restaurant, pool, hot tub, and fitness room.

The location near DTW and some nearby eateries is convenient for early flights and quick stopovers. Some guests reported small pool and hot tub areas, slippery pool tiles, occasional maintenance issues (slow drains or loud AC), and mixed dining experiences; a few mentioned noise from planes or teams and confusion over park and fly parking. While cleanliness is generally strong, there are isolated housekeeping misses and two bed bug reports, plus a few service lapses such as an overbooking and difficulty reaching management. Expect a convenient, staff-forward airport stay with solid comforts and a few trade-offs.

I called the hotel directly and asked if we park on-site and if parking was free. I was told the parking was free for my 8 day stay away and I was assured it was. When I arrived not only did we not park on-site but the hotel charged me $100 and the parking place charged me another $28. I call it a scam. We parked the car and a shuttle picked us up but didn’t take us to the hotel they dropped us off at the back of the pay booth. It was a break room for Quik Park staff! Then a woman came and got us when a shuttle from our hotel arrived!! They were hiding us. I didn’t feel safe and it was weird.

I booked this reservation from previous reviews. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were the exception to any of my concerns, because they were ALL friendly and welcoming! BUT….. I was bit in bed my first night! Had to run downstairs to the front desk showing my bite marks and a picture of the bug that bit me in my bed! The young lady was very understanding and immediately tried to move my room , apologizing numerous times, all while trying to reach upper management to gain access to switch rooms. No one ever answered, her emergency calls. But she managed to move me. I was home for a funeral and I really didn’t have the energy to debate. The second room’s air conditioner was so loud I had to turn the tv volume up to 30 to hear the tv. All while it kept blowing out black dust clumps, from dirty filters. Also, the ice machine was out on my original floor 4 and eventually out on my second room’s floor 6th. If I could take the staff and place them in a more modern hotel, it would be a Winner!! Still waiting for management to call regarding my bed bug bite experience! Just like the young lady trying to reach them in the early morning hours and was unsuccessful. Or like when I was checking out and another young lady was attempting to reach management for another person and she kept apologizing because she can’t get of hold to them. Great staff! Poor management! Old building, ice makers, carpeting and drapes!

Can’t say enough good things regarding the entire staff. So helpful, friendly, and polite. Cleanliness was exceptional. No dirt, or gunk build-up in the bathroom, around the floor and wall, not even in the corners! Only one issue. The bed was way too soft. I had to sleep in the winged back chair. It was a terrible night for me. My wife did ok. Don’t know if you can request a room with a firm mattress or not. Next trip in a month, I will ask.

I’ve stayed at this Hilton several times and it’s always a reliable choice. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable with nice pillows, and the deposit isn’t outrageous. I usually book the 2 queen beds. One time I had a smelly fridge, but the staff quickly moved me to another room. Front desk staff are always friendly, and they offer complimentary bottled water. Check-out is at 12:00 p.m., and early check-in is sometimes available. There’s a free shuttle to and from the airport, and a few places to eat are within walking distance. Breakfast could be better—scrambled eggs, square potatoes, pork sausage and bacon are standard. Occasionally they’ll have turkey sausage. The restaurant closes after breakfast and reopens at 3:00 p.m. Overall, clean, comfortable, and convenient. I’ll keep coming back.

Arrived close to midnight. Entrance clean and inviting. Quiet inside. Room on top (6th) floor, end of hall, no noise. Room excellent: very clean and modern. One small problem (which I will report to management) is water slow to drain in shower. In morning the toilet tank did not refill for about 5 minutes. So there is some plumbing issue that needs to be addressed.

The rooms were very clean and the staff were very nice! The drinks at the bar were good and the restaurant had some great options available. Very comfortable beds with nice amount of room. While the hot tub jets were alright, the hot tub and pool were nice, and it provides a fun view to watch the planes come and go from the airport. You can hear the planes fly over the hotel; However, the noise is not too obnoxious and it sounds more like a truck passing by than anything else - be aware of this if you are a light sleeper. TV pairs with phones. Quality fridge, though it does get warm quicky inside the cabinet, so I just left the door open to ventilate. I had to stay a little later, though the staff were very accommodating. I didn't use the shuttle, though it did consistently run to and from the airport, which is a nice feature. The bathtub in the room is a bit slick, even with decent balance, so be careful showering. The pool area was quick slick with the tiles and nearly slipped twice due to the angling. Just bring some shoes with a grip and you'll be fine. Someone was bumping loud music that never went away, though I understand this is a personal issue and not a hotel problem. Overall: a solid, clean hotel to stay at with friendly staff, nice amenities onsite, between the restaurant, pool, and internet, and outside of a few little problems, this is a solid choice and will likely be a place I would stay at again. Thanks to the staff for their hard work!

The hotel is recently renovated and everything looks very new and modern. The staff are friendly and polite (great response at the reception, welcoming languages from all staff). Huge TV, got Kuring coffee machine, microwave in the room. Adequate lighting in the room. My room was facing south so I could hear some noise from the planes on and off. Not too loud.

Easily the best property to stay at around DTW. Finally, a good CLEAN and safe option. I have stayed at multiple properties before a flight out in the AM and every one of them left me disappointed in the stay. Hilton Garden Inn was not only modern and clean, but extremely quiet and comfortable. Staying here was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend for all of your overnight stays.

I would give the room 5 stars but, and I know it’s petty, the bathroom sink did not drain, two people could not use the toilet and flush because the tank had to fill, the handle on the toilet had to be held down to flush, the shower doors would not stay closed, they kept rolling open. Would I stay again? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Room was comfortable and clean. I had booked this hotel particularly because of the shuttle service to the airport. The front staff was not helpful and informed me that there was no shuttle service available before 5 am. I had confirmed with the staff at the time of my checking in. The staff was very dismissive, non apologetic and had zero customer service. The manager needs to make sure that the staff is dressed appropriately and knows how to provide service. Truly unacceptable!

I arrived at 2am after several plane delays and cancelations. I called ahead at 5pm to alert front desk about the travel delays and confirmed I would be there. When I arrived they said they were over booked and did not have a room for me. I prepaid for the room, so I can't see why someone else who didn't prepay got a room. They also had no record of me calling and confirming my late arrival. A very bad experience all the way around, the hotel did look nice, a lot better than the one they found for me to stay in at 2am.
