The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Windsor Waterfront

Scenic Stays Steps from the Stage

Modern and conveniently located, the Holiday Inn Express Windsor Waterfront offers a comfortable, no-fuss stay with unbeatable views of the Detroit River skyline. Just moments from downtown Windsor and directly across from the U.S. border, this hotel is perfect for music fans looking to stay close to the action—without the downtown Detroit price tag.
All rooms come with free Wi-Fi, a coffee maker, cable TV, and work desk, making your stay as practical as it is pleasant. And with its non-smoking policy and indoor pool, it’s a relaxing base before or after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just steps from Caesars Windsor, one of Windsor’s top live entertainment venues, and a quick drive or tunnel ride to Detroit's concert halls. The location is ideal for late-night returns, and the free Wi-Fi and complimentary local calls make coordinating with friends or rideshares a breeze. While there's no ultra-late check-out, the 11:00 AM check-out time gives you enough room to sleep in after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for location and value
  • Solo travelers heading to a must-see show
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans who want a quiet, comfortable recovery spot after the gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests rave about the free hot breakfast—perfect after a late night. The hotel’s central location means you’re within walking distance of plenty of late-night dining options, from pubs to pizza spots. Though there's no 24/7 room service, the nearby eateries have you covered.

Nightlife Options

Caesars Windsor is not only a concert venue but also home to on-site bars and lounges that stay open late. Plus, downtown Windsor’s bars, clubs, and cocktail lounges are just a short walk or cab ride away. If you’re crossing into Detroit, world-class nightlife awaits only minutes across the border.

What People Say

Guests love the riverfront views and the hotel’s clean, modern rooms. Many highlight the walkable location to venues and restaurants, as well as the friendly staff and ease of access to both Windsor and Detroit attractions. The complimentary breakfast is a frequent favorite in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar, the nearby options more than make up for it. Some guests mention that rooms facing the city can be a little noisier, so request a river-view room if you're after a quieter night.

The Bottom Line

With a prime location near Caesars Windsor and easy access to Detroit, Holiday Inn Express Windsor Waterfront is a smart, scenic choice for concert-goers wanting comfort, convenience, and great value.

Liked: Great location and very clean. The staff was very friendly also
Disliked: The parking is horrible. All the spaces were sold out the entire weekend. Also, what kind of crap is it that you have buy a parking spot to stay at a hotel?

Friendly staff. Outstanding manager Patricia....

Liked: We loved Patricia! She was kind and caring. She could manage a huge hotel with her friendly personality. We come back there just because of her!The security man helping us park our RV after our event in Detroit was very helpful. We came back to an almost full parking lot. He helped us find a safe place to park for the night on the lot.
Disliked: Nothing we could think of. We had a lovely time.
