What guests think

At Marvin's Garden Inn, reviews describe a budget-friendly stay with some clean, comfortable rooms and standout showers, alongside recurring reports of maintenance problems, cleanliness lapses in certain rooms, and inconsistent service complicated by a closed or window-only lobby.

Guests often find the location convenient for highways, shopping, and restaurants. Room experiences vary: some note comfortable beds and spacious layouts, while others mention dated decor, noise from other guests, odd layouts with the fridge and microwave in the bathroom, and Wi-Fi reliability issues. On-site dining is minimal, with repeated mentions of no breakfast or lobby coffee. Expect a simple, budget stopover that prioritizes price over polish.

Carpets seem to be dirty. We kept shoes on when in the room. Bathroom sink has a very slow drain problem. Drains about a quart in 15 minutes(maybe longer). Can't talk directly to the person at the counter. The speaker was very garbled and I had to have her repeat herself until I figured out what she was saying. Sign on the window says it's that way because of Covid. ??? Towels and sheets are long due for replacement.

First off the floor was sticky and when I took a shower the bottom of the tub was slimey and the tub was clogging up. When I turned the Tv on the reception was terrible also the free wifi didn't work .

It was exactly as the pictures on the website shown but the carpet was disgusting and the shower doors weren't attached. Very outdated. Furnishings need to be replaced. Very old.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nonconsecutive nights, in 2 different rooms. The issues were the same. While the bathroom looked remodeled, the shower doors were nearly immovable. The shower stall was moldy. The body sprays did not work. The toilet seat was very loose. Several drawers would drop down once opened in the dresser and might stands. The blinds were nearly impossible to open and close. The bed mattress was comfortable, but the pillows were not. There were no hangers in the 2 closet rods. The wifi worked well. There was no staff except in the morning, so it was difficult to report on the issues. I had seen better reviews of this hotel and decided to try it. Maybe it was because I chose the cheapest room.

The only good thing about this was the really nice woman that checked me in. All downhill from there. This place is known for having amazing bathrooms, and it was the only reason I booked. Room not that clean, phone didn’t work, WiFi failed altogether, and I up charged for this room just to be across from the washers… with a borderline broken shower. I’m livid, and contemplating checking right back out.

I especially didn’t like having a microwave and refrigerator in the bathroom! That’s highly unsanitary!!! Outside of that foolishness everything else was ok. And can your hotel start taking the sheets/blankets out of the dryer when they are done because the entire bed was wrinkled really really bad!

I always enjoy my stays at Marvin Garden’s when I visit Southfield. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable at a reasonable price. It’s conveniently located by shopping centers, restaurants, pubs & sports bars and it’s right off the expressway.

There was a power outage Feb 5th! A section of 12 mile and telegraph was affected. I booked a room and upon arrival, the hotel had no power as well. The power had been off since 530p, according to the desk clerk. It was a bitvafter 9p, with estimated power restoration at 130a. So, I booked a neighboing hotel that had power. Now, the manager is refusing to refund me! I worked a 12hr shift just to be inconvenienced by a power outage. Then... cant be refunded (per manager). Just ridiculous! Surely following up with my bank if necessary
