Came into town for a Tigers game and location was great. We were able to walk to the game (you can see the hotel from the stadium)! The thermostat in our room (1013) was loose and falling off the wall but the room was clean overall. Views were great. Most of the staff was super nice a few were on there cell phone while we were at the desk which was a bit off putting. Breakfast was a bit confusing due to the menu stating to go put our order in but they take the order at the table unless you want something from the buffet. The breakfast staff was very nice and helpful though! The housekeeping staff was awesome and friendly! Every guest they passed they smiled and said hello or asked how the day was!

I want to personally thank Kenny and Olivia for there personal touch. They made feel as if I was right home amazing front desk team. My room was cleaned every day by housekeeping service . My experience at the Hilton Garden Inn was awesome I would recommend this location great spot close to everything Greektown Renaissance Center.

Great location, close to everything downtown. Property is decent, not the best Hilton property, but not the worst either. If you are looking for super new and nice, try something different. If you want affordable, clean and decent, this one will do.

The whole room was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The hotel was close to every place we wanted to be. The front desk staff was very kind! The only qualm I have was that someone came to our door to clean at around 9:45 AM, which I thought was sort of unusual. It wasn't a big hindrance though. I would stay again if the occasion permits!

Very clean and nice hotel. Staff was very polite. The rooms are impeccably clean and very modern. Excellent view from above the city. Could have a little bit more light perhaps an additional lamp in the room would be a plus but otherwise fantastic. Bed was comfortable, shower and bathroom were clean and well maintained. Plenty of towels and basic necessities. Would stay again. Only recommendation is do not drive or Park a vehicle. It is expensive for parking as well as the nearby Lots

It was my first time. The rooms a very large and spacious. They came with a refrigerator, free coffee, ice machines and snack machines were close by. Rooms were very clean and handicapped equipped. There is so many nice things i can say.. I will continue to go back.

Hotel is newly renovated with very friendly staff. I was offered more than the standard diamond member complimentary waters and snack as I entered(I declined, but it was nice of them to offer). Spending 16-20 nights a month on the road, finding a good brand is important, Hilton is a safe choice. This hotel is in the middle of everything with a lot of highly rated restaurants and bars within a block or two.

Was at the Hilton, during the snowstorm, flight cancelled. Very appreciative of the staff, especially, they knew I was trying to fly home for my son's wedding. All the workers from the front desk to the restaurant/bar we're great. ( I got taken advantage of from a Uber driver, lost my phone he charged me 60.00 to bring it back) But the people at the Hilton made things great with food and drinks and a great room. Thank you to all who made that whole stressful situation much better.

Has a fresh and clean feeling in the lobby upon entering. However, you are paying more for the ambiance of downtown. It kind of sucks because they really don’t have anything different from other Hilton hotels. Not much within walking distance either. More of a corporate location rather than vacation. Enjoyed the stay nonetheless. Amenities could be better

Enjoyed our stay. Staff was nice. Our view from the hotel was fun. Decor was nicely upgraded in our room. Only downside was lighting was very dim in our room with the exception of the bathroom.

Pretty expensive considering there weren't many benefits one would be afforded going to holiday inn, days inn, etc. Breakfast for example was an expensive experience if done at the hotel. The wifi and most of the doors (including bathrooms) were incredibly inconvenient to use. The card readers on doors were achingly slow, often taking 8-16 swipes to register. This was not just a problem I experienced. Other tenants I met in the elevator showed the same difficulty when they used their cards. That was the worst part of the experience however. I don't want to mislead you, there was nothing incredibly bad about my stay there. It simply wasn't good enough to make the money spent feel worth it. In the future I will more than likely be staying at one of the numerous hotels that are closer to the expo center, cheaper, and offering more benefits to their customers. I gave this one a try on my mother's recommendation for the chain because she had apparently stayed at one for a business trip.

You will be paying for location. For the price, I have had much more luxurious accommodations and better appointments. No problems with room cleanliness. The breakfast crew were clearly at odds with each other...several people had to wait for tables as tables were not being bused. About 3/4 of the tables had not been cleared. Service was very slow, buffet not being replenished. Front desk personnel were excellent.

The hotel met my expectations of HGI (in a good way!) but the staff are right up there with the best; friendly, professional and very knowledgeable of the area.
My first visit to Detroit (went to see a band at St Andrews Hall) and wasn't sure how safe the area was. Brian on the front desk is an ambassador for Detroit, convincing me that the short walk was safe and no need to get a cab and also recommended a great place to eat. Had a great evening and very enjoyable stay in Detroit.

This hotel is absolutely 100% what you'd expect from this grade of Hilton. Rooms are nice, look the have recently been updated and beds are comfortable. The *only* reason for my low reviews is for the music from the bar across the street. They have speakers outside that play an uninspired playlist of stale music (Living La Vida Loca? Really?). The music plays constantly from about noon to well past midnight. It made working from the room challenging, and I had to employ all my noise cancelling techniques to get a good night's sleep.

I asked to switch rooms to the other side of the hotel, but that side was all king rooms (I had a queen), and they were sold out. The desk clerk didn't seem particularly sympathetic to my complaint, she didn't offer to try to move me to another room further down the hall, and said nobody had ever complained about the music before...I see from here I am not the first to complain.

A nice hotel in a decent part of Detroit. You must pay for parking here. The staff does take a few minutes to warm up to you. And you're within safe walking distance to the baseball and football stadiums, and greektown.
The rooms are beautiful and clean.
But the noise from the surrounding nightlife may keep you up until 3am!

Most staff was polite and helpful, especially Ryan in valet and the waiter in the breakfast restaurant. Rooms are clean. Hotel is very close to all activities in downtown Detroit. Food for breakfast and dinner was very good too. I would not stay here again though because of the loud music from the bar across the street until 2:30 in the morning all 4 nights of my stay and the constant revving of the motorcycles into the early morning hours. Police were parked at this corner every night to stand guard and make sure this did not get out of control. I did not feel safe watching this activity each night. There aren't many reviews of this and people who would like to stay here should consider a different hotel if they want to get rest at night.

The room was clean and spacious with an excellent view of downtown. There were some freshly baked lemon raspberry cookies downstairs that were delicious. Overall the staff was friendly except for the valet.

Room was very nice and quiet. Note that valet parking is required at a cost of $25/ night plus tip. There was only one mirror and it was in the bathroom. I normally do my hair and makeup at a secondary mirror to allow my husband to take his shower at the same time, not a criticism, just a thought for hotel use. All in all, nice hotel and nice room. I'd stay there again.

The hotel is nice, but small. With it being in the middle of a busy area, it can get loud at night. The staff was very friendly and accomodating.

My stay was great and all the amenities are what you expect a Hilton to have. As a note, continental is not provided and cost around $14 a person. I would recommend to go elsewhere if you want to get your money's worth. The location is near the heart of downtown Detroit and a couple of blocks from where the Lion's play and also near Greektown. Other than that there is not much to sight see in the area.

We are in the middle of our 2 night stay and I had to post what a fantastic staff this Hilton Garden Inn has. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. I do have a shout out to 3 of the desk staff: Irish, Ervene and Jeri. So wonderful...and so is Detroit!

$165 a night. Valet costs 25 bucks. Breakfast is a steep $14. Room was mediocre with hair on the walls and mold in the shower. The shower curtain was all torn up. The AC unit wouldn't let me run the fan. Had to wait 10 min to get my car at valet while freezing with the doors that open and close nonstop. I'm a Hilton honors member and typically choose Hilton brands, but won't go here again. Staff was nice.

Centrally located in downtown Detroit. Lots of great restaurants in the area. The room is comfortable. House keeping seems to come at very random times throughout the day but that's not a big deal. There is a restaurant on the first floor but the selection is limited and it's a bit pricey. There is a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and coin laundry on-site.

On the edge of downtown, the immediate surroundings environment looks rough but isn't. The entry way doesn't inspire confidence but there is nothing actually wrong with the venue. It was a short walk to downtown points of interest, which is why I chose this location.

This is pretty standard for a garden inn. But as usual, it's the little things that make a huge difference. Too small shampoo and conditioner bottles, rough toilet paper, below standard TV experience all makes it feel just a bit too cheap, instead of just inexpensive.

The staff was very pleasant. The room was clean. The neighborhood leaves much to be desired but you are within walking distance of some great spots.

Clean rooms but way overpriced, and you have to pay $13.95 usd to have breakfast there. I did sleep good so I guess it's ok.

Valet was awesome. I was checking in for my girlfriend and myself for a wedding and unfortunately there were no bell carts or anyone to help carry all of our bags up to my room so I had everything slung up on my shoulders. Check in took forever, we booked a single king and were given 2 queens. Overall room was clean, a/c worked well, nice towels, nice bedding, and friendly staff. Great stay, but for the amount we paid for 2 nights I expect our reserved room type be available and for a cart to be available for luggage.

Location is excellent in downtown Detroit, easy 3 min walk to lots of great restaurants in greektown and elsewhere. The room I stayed in was a 2 room suite, which was about what you'd expect - a few cosmetic imperfections here and there, but it was for the most part clean and well stocked. Free bottles of water and coffee in room. Concierge was nice enough to give me toothbrush and toothpaste. No free breakfast here! They charge something like $11 for it.
