The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Waterfront Hotel

Riverfront Comfort Just Minutes from the Music


Modern and welcoming, the Best Western Plus Waterfront Hotel offers a scenic stay right on the Detroit River in downtown Windsor. With stylish, comfortable rooms and multilingual staff, this hotel provides a friendly base for concert-goers looking to explore both Windsor and nearby downtown Detroit. Free WiFi, non-smoking rooms, and easy access to venues make it a smart choice for music fans.

Why Concert-goers love it


You're just a quick ride or walk across the border from top Detroit venues like Saint Andrews Hall and GM World, both less than 2 miles away. Despite its central location, the hotel remains quiet enough to recover after a loud night. With check-in starting at 3:00 PM and a generous check-out time of 11:00 AM, there's flexibility for late-night arrivals and slow mornings. Public transport and rideshares are easy to catch nearby, and the 24-hour front desk staff can help with directions or recommendations in English, French, Spanish, or Arabic.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking for a convenient spot with easy access to concerts
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list show
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet haven after the encore
  • Budget-conscious travelers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options


While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you're steps away from downtown Windsor’s lively dining scene. Plenty of local eateries and pubs are within walking distance for pre-show bites or a post-gig snack. Breakfast is available, perfect for those who need a late morning start after a big night out.

Nightlife Options


You're just across the river from Detroit’s buzzing nightlife, and Windsor itself has plenty to offer, from local bars to chill lounges. While the hotel doesn’t host live music, its location puts you close to all the action without being in the thick of the noise.

What People Say


Guests love the stunning river views, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms. Many mention the excellent location for cross-border concerts and events, and appreciate the convenience of free WiFi and multilingual service.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests have noted that the hotel is a little older and could use minor updates in decor. Others mention parking can be a bit tight during peak times—something to plan for if you’re driving in.

The Bottom Line


The Best Western Plus Waterfront Hotel is a solid, scenic, and budget-friendly base for concert-goers heading to Windsor or hopping across to Detroit for a night of music.

Excellent view

Beautiful location. Rooms are outdated

Liked: The location was nice.
Disliked: My view was obstructed. The room was not well-kept and had many damages and soiled carpeting. The hallways smelled of mildew, and there was peeling paint in my bathtub.
