VERY basic hotel with a strong motel feel. Questionable cleanliness (i.e. hairs on "clean sheets", bathroom walls with visible in wall leaks, etc.). Absolutely OK if you need shelter for a night before/after your flight. Do not expect anything more - you will not want to spend too much time in your room, nor walking around the hotel. Very nice...

Stayed here when it was under the Ramada Hotel Chain, it wasn't to bad. I usually do not leave negative reviews, however the experience was just a horror. My wife and I arrived at the hotel at 1am on Sunday night after a long road trip. The front desk gentleman looked like he was ready to fall asleep at anytime,... More

New owners this year changed from Ramada to Ho Jo's. Nothing has changed. Its a clean, quiet and cheap place to sleep before a flight out of DTW. You get a 7 day parking voucher for Airlines Parking (a walk across the street). If you are parking longer they will sell you 1 day vouchers for $6. (regular price is... More

This place wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been for a total of less than $43/night. The pillow cases were stained, bathtub and sink had what appeared to be pubic hair on them, and the pillows were matted down and lumpy (not good if you're a fluffy pillow enthusiast like myself). You want a cheap hotel to sleep... More

I expected much worse honestly for the price they charge! The room was clean but just very outdated. It still had a slight cigarette smell to it and the old style loud, in room heater. The location was perfect though as we were only sleeping there for 6 hours and then took the free shuttle in the AM. Best part... More

I stayed at this hotel because of the cheap price. Believe me you get what you pay for. The room, especially the bed, smelled of cigarette smoke, although by law in Michigan smoking is prohibited in hotels. The shower water temperature cannot be adjusted. Good luck trying to have a hot shower, lukewarm is all you get. If you are... More

I decided to give this property as second chance, as I had not been very pleased when staying there a year ago when it was a Ramada. This hotel will not get a third chance from me; I have learned my lesson. The facility is run down, the check in staff was not pleasant, although the gentleman at the desk... More

I arrived at 12:30, and was asked to pay the early check-in fee of $20! This is the first time I have ever heard of such a fee. It is ridiculous! I thought this motel would be a good place for a stop over, but I was wrong.
