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.

I will never go back...

Liked: NOTHING
Disliked: The room didn't have a comforter, the air didn't seem to cool it down as much as I expected, the fan in the bathroom was hanging from the ceiling, the corner by the door in the bathroom was falling apart, the desk/table was barely standing, any movement and it would almost fall over, only 2 towels for a room with 2 queen beds, walls had stuff splattered on them.

My stay in Waterford MI.

Liked: Not much.
Disliked: The hotel is old and in bad shape. The room was noisy and bathtub had black mold around the rim. I won't ever stay there again. This was the shabbyist hotel I've stayed in since the 90's.I checked out after one night. I'm waiting to hear from you about a refund for the second night. The hotel said I had to contact you about a refund. I sent a message last night.
