Top Detroit Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Royal Oak/Birmingham

10/10 Excellent

"One look at the breakfast and we opted to walk over to First Watch instead. The hotel is great. The staff is awesome. The breakfast is lackluster. There’s also a nice-looking bar in the lobby that goes unused every evening, so for your nightcap walk over to Brown Iron Brewhouse where there are plenty of beers and ciders on tap, and where you get a discount when staying at the hotel (at the time of writing this review). We’ll be back here every time we come to town due to the location."

American Inn and Suites Ferndale

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for a weekend, at the time of it, there were some amenities that have seen better days. However speaking with the owners, they were aware of it and mentioned they were working on updating the property after acquiring it months earlier. The beds were fine, and the room and bathroom were clean, good enough for me. The hotel is a work in progress, but it’s a great budget option, and in a great location close to the bars, restaurants and shops in Ferndale, as well as a quick trip to Downtown Detroit. Lastly, it was nice to be able to just pay a $25 fee, instead of a $100 security deposit, which you are given a choice of what you want to pay when you arrive, much easier that way. I would stay again, and recommend it to others who want a fair deal in a good location. Next time I’ll be looking to see what has changed."
