The Spotlight on Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Michigan’s Top Music Venues

Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit is a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel located in a quiet pocket of Auburn Hills, just north of Detroit. With easy access to major concert venues and simple, clean accommodations, it's a smart base for music lovers looking to catch a show without breaking the bank. Rooms include convenient amenities like kitchenettes in select units, and guests enjoy free WiFi and free parking throughout their stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show at Meadow Brook Music Festival or DTE Energy Music Theatre, you're just a short drive away — under 15 miles to either. Travelling with gear or tailgate supplies? The free on-site parking makes things extra easy. While the hotel is tucked into a quieter suburban area, that also means minimal street noise for post-show recovery. And with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save money
  • Solo travelers attending that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a relaxed weekend around a show
  • Fans who want a calm, quiet space after the noise
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel doesn’t have on-site dining, but rooms with kitchenettes make it easy to grab groceries and prep your own meals — perfect for longer stays or late-night snacks. Several fast-casual spots and diners are within a short drive, and you’ll find breakfast options nearby for those slower, post-concert mornings.

Nightlife Options

While Suburban Studios doesn’t feature a hotel bar or live music on-site, it’s a short drive to downtown Auburn Hills or Rochester, where you’ll find local pubs, lounges, and casual venues to keep the night going. If you’re attending a concert, you’re likely heading out anyway — this hotel is more about recharging than raging.

What People Say

Guests love the affordable rates, clean rooms, and the convenience of having a kitchen setup in select units. Reviewers often mention the quiet location and the ease of parking as big pluses. While it’s not flashy, many say it’s exactly what they needed for a short stay around a concert or event.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no pool, gym, or on-site restaurant, so this isn’t the spot for luxury seekers. Some guests have noted that the decor is a bit dated, and since it's a bit removed from downtown, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get around easily. Still, if you're focused on the music, it hits the mark.

The Bottom Line

Suburban Studios Auburn Hills - Detroit is a smart, wallet-friendly pick for concert-goers who want a quiet and convenient home base close to Michigan’s top live music spots.

The worst stay of my...

Liked: This was the worst day and the worst hotel I ever stayed in out of the whole time I've been renting hotels I was in room 253 first of all I'm disabled and 253 was on the second floor all the way at the end of the hallway once I get inside my room this room looks like it was a mistake to be rented like this room should not have been rented out. The walls were chipped with paint missing the recliner chair was clawed up by cats the stuffing was hanging out of it the dresser that the TV set on was all chipped up had pieces missing out of it the refrigerator the outside of the refrigerator look like they just pull this refrigerator in off of the street and just put it in there without cleaning it or anything I was scared that there was going to be bed bugs and roaches in this room I did not have a comfortable stay at all I could not sleep and I rented this room out for 2 days my two days stay was horrible the sheets had stains on them the carpet was dirty and had patches missing out of it this room was just wrong all the way and I will never ever stay at this Hotel again I don't even want to see this hotel in my search bar when I'm looking for a hotel that's just how bad and disgusted I was with my stay I stayed there when it was still called the extended stay and it was not looking like that all they did was change the name they didn't do no upgrading no remodeling or nothing it's bad I will not suggest anyone stay there unless you really have absolutely nowhere else to go
Disliked: I didn't like anything abthis hotel

Passable

Liked: If I had a problem the staff was quick, patient and accommodating. And cared about my safety being a woman, of small build, and looked out for my well being. How many cameras there were, so I could remain on cam when needing to go outside, helped keep me safe.
Disliked: My first room was dirty. And had cockroaches.

What was supposed to be...

Liked: It was close to 75
Disliked: Well number one there was a TV remote in the room, which didn’t operate the TV had to go onto the front desk new remote at the front desk work on the floor, housekeeping remote off of work back to the room hanging out with no toilet paper in the room at all go back down to the office because nobody answers the phone. Nobody’s there found some sitting on the shelf cockroaches were in the room there were no cups was filthy. There was a big stain on the carpet and the carpet overall looked really disgusting. It was pretty dirty. Wasn’t worth $77 that I spent that’s for sure.
