Affordable Comfort Near Detroit's Live Music Scene

Modern and simply styled, Red Roof Inn Detroit-Rochester Hills/Auburn Hills offers a convenient and budget-friendly stay in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Just a short drive from Oakland University and within easy reach of downtown Detroit and Auburn Hills, this hotel is a solid pick for travelers looking to catch a show and crash somewhere quiet afterward. Each room includes free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen cable TV, and a radio—perfect for winding down with your favorite playlist after the concert.

Whether you're in town for a big arena show or a more intimate gig, this hotel provides the basics you need without stretching your budget.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location offers a peaceful stay away from the louder parts of metro Detroit, but still keeps you close enough to reach major venues in Auburn Hills or downtown. With easy highway access, getting back after a late show is quick and manageable. The hotel’s 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out are standard, but the quiet atmosphere helps ensure a restful night’s sleep for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list band
• Couples making a low-key music weekend
• Fans who prefer a quiet space after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on merch than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the Red Roof Inn doesn’t have on-site dining, its location offers easy access to nearby restaurants and fast food options within a short drive or walk. Late-night bites are available from local spots, and early risers (or late sleepers) can find breakfast spots nearby. For those who like to plan ahead, bringing snacks or pre-packed meals is a smart option since rooms include basic amenities.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of the appeal. After the show, enjoy a quiet night in or head to one of the local bars and lounges in Rochester Hills or Auburn Hills. You’re also within driving distance of metro Detroit’s more energetic nightlife if you want to keep the evening going.

What People Say

• “Clean and comfortable for the price” is a common theme in reviews.
• Guests appreciate the strong Wi-Fi and friendly staff.
• Travelers love the location for being close to venues but in a quiet area.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay, so don’t expect high-end amenities or concierge service. Some reviews mention that housekeeping is limited—daily for short stays, weekly for longer ones—so if you're staying multiple nights, you might need to request extra towels or supplies. The decor is a bit dated, but most guests find it perfectly fine for a night or two.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert and need a clean, affordable, and quiet place to recharge, Red Roof Inn Detroit-Rochester Hills/Auburn Hills checks all the right boxes.
