The first night's stay at this hotel was the worst hospitality industry experience (customer service and actual room) I've had in many years. I had reservations but called in advance to extend the stay for another night at the beginning of the trip. Late night clerk assures me I don't need to provide any info. that there will be a... More

Dear Valued Guest, I am sorry to read that your stay with us was not a pleasant one. Our hotel generally receives positive scores for customer service, but in this particular case, there seems to have been a problem. To rectify the problem, I will examine the reason for the confusion regarding the rate on the night that you added... More

I recommend this hotel, nice, clean, pleasant staff and great breakfast at Marquisa restaurant. The price is good, location excellent if you want to stopp before going to usa, practically no waiting time at the border when entering to Detroit.

Great price! The room was clean and came with a fridge, free parking, wifi and continental breakfast. The bathroom was tiny and the door just barely cleared the toilet when opening. The tub was clean and had no mildew at all. Other than cramped quarters and a little rust showing on the shower curtain rod, I was very happy with... More

If you are looking for a place to sleep this is more than enough! Rooms are very spacious and also clean. The continental breakfast was okay... Coffee wasn't great but there's a Tim Hortons next door. There is a waffle maker, bread and bagels you can toast. For the price you definitely cannot complain. Close to the bridge and tunnel....

We stayed there for 1 night on Jan 20 to go to the Detroit Int'l Auto Show; booked 2 rooms. The hotel was clean and okay for a budget place, only problem is that the HVAC is antiquated and the thermostats did not work in both rooms and one can not control the temp; resulting in very hot rooms! This... More

We stayed overnight in the Howard Johnson on Ouellette Street in Windsor. We booked the hotel because of the price, and we didn't get much more than what we paid for. The woman at the front desk wasn't very pleasant. When we arrived the lobby tv had a Jerry Springer-like show playing loudly. We weren't even directed to our room.... More

Stayed here with a baseball team. Staff not friendly whatsoever. Rooms were musty and very dated. Halways were really gross. Check out was at 11am and Manager called our room at least three times just before 11am to see if we were gone. And then came up and said he was going to charge us for another night if we... More

I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at our hotel. I am not sure I understand the reasons for your complaints. Our hotel is kept in very good condition. The carpeting in our hallways is relatively new, having been installed less than two years ago. I will admit that our guest rooms may be in need of a bit... More

My family and I stayed here for one night on a road trip across North America. Super convenient - very close to the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. It was a clean, average room...
