The Spotlight on American Inn & Suites

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern yet budget-friendly, American Inn & Suites in Waterford offers a relaxed stay just 35 miles from downtown Detroit. With an indoor pool, free WiFi, and comfortable rooms equipped with cable TV, coffee makers, and hairdryers, it’s a solid base for music fans looking to enjoy the show, then rest easy.
Guests also enjoy access to a game room, dry cleaning services, and on-site laundry. Free parking makes it especially convenient for those driving in for a concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located approximately 30–40 minutes from major Detroit music venues, American Inn & Suites is a quieter, more laid-back alternative to downtown hotels. It’s ideal for those who want to avoid the post-show traffic and crowds while still being within easy reach of the action. With flexible 3:00 PM check-in and an 11:00 AM check-out, the timing works well for late-night returns. The peaceful suburban vibe also means minimal street noise—perfect for recharging after a loud night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends road-tripping to a show
  • Solo travelers attending bucket-list concerts
  • Couples making a weekend escape
  • Fans looking for a quiet post-concert recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests can take advantage of nearby dining options along Highland Road—several spots are within walking distance or a short drive. Breakfast is available in the morning, which definitely helps after a late night. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room coffee makers are a lifesaver for early risers or those needing a caffeine boost after the show.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but it’s close to several local watering holes and casual bars. For those who still want a drink after the encore, Waterford has a few low-key options nearby. If you're up for more action, Detroit’s vibrant nightlife is just a drive away.

What People Say

Guests on review sites like Booking.com and TripAdvisor consistently appreciate the cleanliness, friendly staff, and affordability. The quiet atmosphere and free parking are major pluses. Many mention it’s a good value for what you get, especially compared to downtown alternatives.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel, so don’t expect high-end furnishings or gourmet dining. Some rooms could use a little updating, and there’s no elevator—something to keep in mind if you’re hauling gear or luggage. Still, the basics are solid, and it delivers where it counts.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a budget-friendly, quiet place to unwind after the show, American Inn & Suites is a smart, no-frills choice with all the essentials.

Expect to be blindsided for...

Liked: N/A
Disliked: I was surprised with a over inflated additional cost for my dog ($50.00) that wasn't even disclosed to me at the time of the booking. Why did I say the the cost for my dog from this hotel is over inflated, because I'll e staying at another hotel the weekend of the 25th and the cost is half of that even though it is a Hilton. This location also charges the guest $15.00 to use the pool, which I didn't use

Please find another place to...

Liked: The price and location are the only redeeming qualities.
Disliked: I've stayed in thousands of hotel rooms over 40 years and I can honestly say this was the worst. Firstly there was no cold water going to our room. Only extremely hot. It was not possible to take a shower. Then the toilet didn't flush due to low water pressure. The floor in the entire room was plastic linoleum with no carpet at all. The bed had no blankets, just a sheet and a duvet cover with no duvet in it. The hallway floors are splitting in half down the center like it was in an earthquake. When we went to our room for the 1st time, the entire hallway was filled with smoke and the smell of burned food. Oh and I forgot to mention, a bunch of people actually live in these rooms full time. We couldn't sleep because someone had a pet bird in one of the rooms that screetched all night and another room had a dog that was barking! There was no soap or toiletries at all. No ice bucket. No trash cans. The walls are all destroyed and patched and the trim is falling off. The power outlet in the bathroom is shoved into the wall. It feels more like a jail cell than a hotel room.The best part was when we checked in, the clerk told us that we were lucky they still had a room available, although I booked it 3 weeks in advance and paid for the room in full 3 days prior! They were going to give my room away that I already paid for!!!!!!Please, unless you are desperate, find a different place to stay.

Spend the money and stay...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Nothing in the room. No phone, no coffee maker, no alarm clock. The ceiling in the bathroom was leaking water, one ceiling panel was all the way down on to the shower curtain bar. Dirty bathtub.
