The hotel is set in a quieter suburb, so you can count on a restful night after the encore. With a 24-hour front desk, late check-in is never a problem, and the indoor pool and hot tub are perfect for unwinding after a night of dancing.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends sharing a road trip to see a favorite band

• Couples making a weekend musical getaway

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the hotel serves a free buffet breakfast with continental and American options—great for late risers after a night out. There are also snack and drink vending machines in the lobby for those post-concert cravings, and the hotel is close to several local eateries and fast-casual spots. Coffee machines in every room mean you’ll never miss your morning pick-me-up.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music on-site, but you’re a short ride from bars and lounges in nearby Novi or Royal Oak. For a low-key night, enjoy the shared lounge or sun terrace with friends. Want something livelier? It’s easy to head into downtown Detroit or Ann Arbor for a full night out.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, helpful staff, and comfortable beds. Many highlight the peaceful environment—a major plus after a loud event—and the indoor pool and hot tub as standout amenities. The free breakfast and ample parking also get consistent thumbs-up.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel isn’t walkable to nightlife or restaurants, so having a car is essential. While the property is clean and well-kept, the décor is more functional than flashy. But for many, the value more than makes up for that.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a concert in Detroit or Ann Arbor but want a quiet, budget-friendly place to recharge, Holiday Inn Express Wixom hits all the right notes.
