Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite comes with a full kitchen, making it easy to whip up meals late at night. There are several casual eateries and fast food spots within walking or short driving distance. A grab-and-go breakfast is available, which is perfect for those who sleep in after a late night.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more of a place to unwind than party, but you're a short drive from local bars and lounges in downtown Auburn Hills and Rochester. If you’re looking to keep the night going after the show, you won’t have to go far.

What People Say

Guests highlight the spacious rooms, helpful staff, and great value. The in-room kitchens are a big plus for those staying more than one night. Many say it’s a quiet, clean, and comfortable place to rest after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is more basic in amenities, and housekeeping isn’t daily unless requested. It's not a luxury stay—but it gets the job done, especially for the price.

The Bottom Line

A smart, budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a quiet place to crash after the encore.
