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.

Comfy bed with a view.

Liked: The view! Central to where we needed to be. Bed very comfortable.
Disliked: The bath tub was squishy. Very strange. No microwave or hot tub. Elevators made us queezy. No bottles of water in the fridge. Had to ask for bath towels but couldnt figure out how to get to the front desk since the phone In The Room dialed to the corporate office instead of the front desk. Light on the magnified mirror in bathroom was broken.

Passable

Liked: The location was great and the staff was very friendly
Disliked: The price was way too expensive for such a dated room I felt like I was In the 70s and having to pay 19 for parking in a parking garage across the street was very disappointing. If you would like to hear about the horrible experience when I had to call the hotel feel free to contact me.

Good

Liked: The staff were all very helpful, polite and friendly. Especially the restaurant staff, a lovely server called Harmony in particular was excellent. I was very happy with the view from the room, which was much improved after the windows were washed.
Disliked: While the room was comfortable and adequate for my girlfriend and I, it seemed a little on the small side for the cost. I was also slightly confused as to why there was no indication that the restaurant did room service. Perhaps I'm expecting too much from a Best Western, and I do appreciate the desire to save waste from printing menus and whatnot. I just thought it was a shame not to advertise the option, given the high quality delivered by the restaurant.
