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.

The stay was ok, but...

Liked: The staff was very nice. The entrance we were instructed to enter was very dirty inside and out. There were cigarette butts all around. The entrance smelled like cigarette smoke. Some shady people outside with the bikes right by the entrance. This entrance was open at all time, did not have to use room card to get in. The room was so so clean, but not clean around the edges of the carpet. The bed skirt was very dirty. It just looked like the cleaning job was just done half ass, so to speak. The window had a screen in it that was bent and almost ready to fall off. The furniture had seen it's better days. All furniture needed to be thrown away. The motel needs a complete renovation, or torn down and a new one built in the same place. The bed was comfortable. Probably would not stay here again, unless it had a complete overhaul.NO BREAKFAST
Disliked: Sorry the above message should have been in this box.
