After reading other reviews I had fairly low expectations but booked a room anyway because I was traveling alone and like staying in dive hotels. Any time a hotel clerk is behind bullet proof glass you know youre probably not in the best of areas. But alas it turned out not to be nearly as exciting as i thought it... More

I was very impressed at my room. It was very nice, clean and quiet. I had no complaints. I can say i was a little shocked as i walked in the lobby and immediatly ran into a hooker, I did not judge the hotel because there will be nasty females everywhere. I walked into my room and was very happy.... More

I took pictures with my camera but I'm using my phone right now so I can't upload them. The carpets had not been vacuumed, there was pee and hair all over the toilet and the toilet base, the floors had dirt on them, the walls had dirt on them, the sink had a couple little hairs in it, the mirror...

The pictures are very decieving. We were looking for somewhere affordable (under $100) and nearby attractions (within walking distance). The gated free parking was a plus, but when we arrived and I saw the area, I did not even feel safe to walk across the road to the bank. The lobby was filthy and as we walked to our room... More

I don't if it's just me but I read lots of reviews here from people that pay 50 bucks per night and expect Ritz Carlton accommodations. Ok, the lobby is kind of spooky and being offered drugs as soon as you enter is not everyone's taste but my room was clean, warm and it was conveniently located near COBO center... More

We booked a room at the Corktown Inn for New Year's Eve, and it was by far the most affordable option I could find. Everything was perfectly acceptable, thought there were some pretty noisy neighbors that inhibited sleep quality a bit.

Spent New Year's Eve at the Corktown Inn so we could party in Detroit and not worry about driving an hour back home later on. It's in a mostly commercial (not retail) area, so there are a lot of businesses which aren't open at night surrounding the Corktown Inn. This adds to the perception it's in an unsafe area... but,...

I was new to the area and had no idea what i was getting myself into when i booked a room at corktown inn. The hotel is filthy.....stains on the carpet, curtains, etc. There were spider webs in the hallways, outside the building, and also in my room. The AC unit was broken. On top of all of this, i...

It's not the Ritz, but if you use your hotel simply as a place to sleep and shower before/after you're out exploring the city, then you can't beat the Corktown Inn at the prices they charge. Spent three nights there while I was in town for the jazz festival, and am planning to do the same next year. Only complaints:... More
