The Shore rest is a nice little motor inn, worth the price, clean, friendly and more than willing to go the extra mile for its regulars. If you need a room for a night or an inexpensive weekend, after a game or a bar night, I would definitely recommend this little family owned establishment. Laura Daley

Ok, we got here and there is no microwave in the room, you have to share a community microwave in the lobby. THEN, the bed is extra hard and hurts your hips while you sleep, the walls are SO think we both got woken up at 5:18am by the room next door's loud radio which they left on ALL day... More

I payed 78.00 for my room and it was considered a upgrade since when I checked in they had no "regular rooms" available. I was not impressed. The lady at the front desk stated that there was a flat screen tv in the room and she made the room sound way better than it was. The decor is old, The... More

This is a true 2 star motel. It is perfect for what we needed. A place to sleep so we did not have to drive home. Easy to walk to everything. The rooms are clean but the furnishings are old, who cares. The TV worked fine but again it is old. Do not expect more than what you are paying... More

My husband I stayed at the Shorecrest Inn due to cheap price and close location to downtown events. The following day we had tickets to the Lion's game so we asked the hotel clerk if it was ok to leave our car in the lt. The attendant said it was fine. We did this before there and since it was...

I just spent 5 days at the Shorecrest. I'd stayed there a few years ago and remember it being affordable and clean, so when I accepted a job in Detroit and needed a place to stay, this was my first choice. Even though I discussed the condition of the hotel with one of the owners, he gave me attitude and... More

This vintage motel was better than I expected, great price for being in walking distance to the Jazz Festival and two blocks from Riverwalk. Free parking, fridge, coffee in room, well kept for it's age and breakfast at the Clique restaurant totally topped the experience. Nice people that work at the motel and restaurant. Love this place!

Hotel is in a safe area (I did not see any neighborhood). 4. Don't expect a perfect room for the price you are gonna pay. 5. Yes, it looks like some prostitution... More

The motel provides all of the basics - beds, 4-pc ensuite bathroom, blow dryer, TV with cable, bar fridge and phone. Friendly staff. Wifi wasn't very reliable. The price is pretty good for where the motel is located. Walkable to all attractions in Downtown Detroit.
