The Spotlight on Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Michigan’s Top Music Venues

Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit is a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel located in a quiet pocket of Auburn Hills, just north of Detroit. With easy access to major concert venues and simple, clean accommodations, it's a smart base for music lovers looking to catch a show without breaking the bank. Rooms include convenient amenities like kitchenettes in select units, and guests enjoy free WiFi and free parking throughout their stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show at Meadow Brook Music Festival or DTE Energy Music Theatre, you're just a short drive away — under 15 miles to either. Travelling with gear or tailgate supplies? The free on-site parking makes things extra easy. While the hotel is tucked into a quieter suburban area, that also means minimal street noise for post-show recovery. And with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save money
  • Solo travelers attending that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a relaxed weekend around a show
  • Fans who want a calm, quiet space after the noise
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel doesn’t have on-site dining, but rooms with kitchenettes make it easy to grab groceries and prep your own meals — perfect for longer stays or late-night snacks. Several fast-casual spots and diners are within a short drive, and you’ll find breakfast options nearby for those slower, post-concert mornings.

Nightlife Options

While Suburban Studios doesn’t feature a hotel bar or live music on-site, it’s a short drive to downtown Auburn Hills or Rochester, where you’ll find local pubs, lounges, and casual venues to keep the night going. If you’re attending a concert, you’re likely heading out anyway — this hotel is more about recharging than raging.

What People Say

Guests love the affordable rates, clean rooms, and the convenience of having a kitchen setup in select units. Reviewers often mention the quiet location and the ease of parking as big pluses. While it’s not flashy, many say it’s exactly what they needed for a short stay around a concert or event.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no pool, gym, or on-site restaurant, so this isn’t the spot for luxury seekers. Some guests have noted that the decor is a bit dated, and since it's a bit removed from downtown, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get around easily. Still, if you're focused on the music, it hits the mark.

The Bottom Line

Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit is a smart, wallet-friendly pick for concert-goers who want a quiet and convenient home base close to Michigan’s top live music spots.

What was supposed to be...

Liked: It was close to 75
Disliked: Well number one there was a TV remote in the room, which didn’t operate the TV had to go onto the front desk new remote at the front desk work on the floor, housekeeping remote off of work back to the room hanging out with no toilet paper in the room at all go back down to the office because nobody answers the phone. Nobody’s there found some sitting on the shelf cockroaches were in the room there were no cups was filthy. There was a big stain on the carpet and the carpet overall looked really disgusting. It was pretty dirty. Wasn’t worth $77 that I spent that’s for sure.

Couldn’t even stay because they...

Liked: I usually stay here all the time.. they are clean and comfortable
Disliked: They never had a deposit, suddenly have a deposit & refused to cancel my reservation. Was told to call back & they turned their phone off and refused to message me back. Customer service couldn’t even get a hold of them. No notice on website about deposit & disregarded me saying it was a non refundable/ no free cancellation booking & still to this day no response & they keep trying to charge my card. Very sketchy. Fix that issue some of us are going through hardship & homelessness & little things like this are major inconvenience because we were short by $30 dollars FOR A DEPOSIT that wasn’t listed nor did we ever have to pay for before
