Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites - Belleville Area By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Just Outside Detroit

Modern, budget-friendly, and easy-going, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites - Belleville Area offers a laid-back stay just off I-94. Located about 30 minutes from downtown Detroit and 10 miles from Eastern Michigan University, it's a practical choice for concert-goers who want to avoid city-center chaos without being too far from the action. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, and a spa and sauna, this 2-star hotel delivers solid comfort with just enough extras to recharge after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location strikes a sweet balance—you're close enough to major venues like Yost Ice Arena and Crisler Arena (both within 17 miles), but far enough for a peaceful, post-show wind-down. The hotel also offers a free airport shuttle (Detroit Metro is just under 9 miles away), making late-night arrivals a breeze. With a 24-hour front desk and flexible vibe, it's easy to come and go on your concert schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a chill base with shared lounge space
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
• Couples making a weekend of music and relaxation
• Fans who want a quieter spot to recover post-concert
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want perks like a pool and sauna

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel provides a free hot breakfast—perfect for sleeping in after a late night. There are also local eateries within walking or short driving distance, and 24/7 coffee and snacks available in the lobby. Plus, with plenty of nearby delivery options, you’ll never go hungry after a show.

Nightlife Options

You won't find live music or a bar in the hotel itself, but it's a short drive to downtown Belleville and nearby Ann Arbor or Detroit for bars, clubs, and lounges. After the show, unwind in the hotel’s spa and sauna—a different kind of nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and relaxing wellness amenities. The free shuttle and ample free parking are big hits, especially for those flying in or road-tripping. Many reviewers say it's a great value for the price.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay or a boutique vibe, and some guests note that the decor is a bit dated. There’s also no on-site bar or restaurant, so you’ll need to venture out or order in for meals beyond breakfast.

The Bottom Line

A solid, affordable stay with great access to venues and quiet comfort after the encore—Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites - Belleville Area is a smart pick for concert-goers who want convenience without the crowds.
