The H Hotel

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. It was a very busy weekend and we reserved a room with 2 beds but only king rooms were available. They offered us an additional king room for no charge. The white décor is so bright and refreshing on gray Michigan days! The Oxygen Bar served great cocktails and food. Location worked well but parking was a bit challenging with a full hotel and rainy weather. I will definitely stay here again on the next visit to Midland.

We had a reservation through
and had to cancel due to a family emergency and they wanted to charge us $ 169 because we missed the cutoff by 15 minutes. We tried to explain it to the woman in the phone but she would have none of it. No interest is trying to help at all — we even tried to offer half but no. I told her I would call American Express and complain and she said «I look forward to it». Seriously? So I called AmEX and fought it and they did not get a dime — plus a bad review. Sorry — things DO happen to people and they shouldn’t be charged a lot of money like this — just wrong.

We stayed one night here while our kids were at basketball camp at Nearby Northwood U. The décor in this hotel is out of this world and the rooms are comfortable and quiet. The staff is well trained and polite. This hotel is one of the nicest I have stayed in and can’t believe the reasonable price — probably due to location. In a bigger city this hotel would be much pricier. Would definitely stay here again when in Midland.

Best hotel in Midland. Great food, rooms, ambience, salt water pool. Great conference facilities. Not sure of capacity.

Ok, Unilocal,please allow ½ stars. I’m going to flip and start with the negative. The rooms are nice, exceptionally clean, comfortable and the housekeeping staff is exceptional and friendly. Unfortunately, the décor of the rooms… And only the rooms is early to mid 90s. Very nice if it were a Marriott or Sheraton… But it doesn’t match the rest of the hotel. I’d give the rooms a 4.
The hotel lobby, restaurants, courtyard, bar, business center, registration, service, ambiance, class, marble floors, leather wall coverings… utter beauty… I’d give it a 6. Overall average… 5 stars.
Honestly, this would rival the FourSeasons, any Kimpton hotel, Hyatt, Wynn, and maybe the Plaza, but most of those are old money snobbery. If this were in NYC/​manhattan, it would go for $ 600/​night, easily.
Excellent service. Professional and dedicated staff. Fabulous food (I only at at Café Zinc and Oxygen). Gorgeous décor. Exceptionally quiet. Just for the record, I am not affiliated with Dow, but my sister and brother-​in-​law, who I was visiting, both work for Dow. I did find the hotel on my own and without their endorsement or feedback.
Update those rooms. Nothing major, but just freshen them up. Flat screen TVs and some of the good cable channels like HGTV and FoodNetwork. Also, remote printing would be nice and the software application hat only prints boarding passes, versus using Microsoft browser.
The location is ideal. Covered parking was great, since we had 10″ of snow last week, and it was free! Free and consistent wi-​fi. Turndown service every night was excellent along with the next day’s weather forecast.
Ok, enough… it’s a damned good place to stay!
Stayed here mid August, 2014. A basketball competition was going on in the streets in front.
Had an executive suite. This hotel is one of the best I’ve ever stayed at. Everything was exceptional. There were a couple of weddings that weekend and the wedding guests were a bit rowdy, but could barely hear them with the doors closed. Also, the proximity to the Saturday’s farmers market was a bonus.
An exceptional hotel! Nice job on the remodeled rooms! Excellent!

The H Hotel is likely the best hotel in Midland/​Saginaw (I only limit it to this area and not Michigan as a whole because I’ve only been to Midland/​Saginaw). Honestly, it seems like a hotel that belongs in CA.
The white, minimalist interior design is really nice, and its facilities are also great. The rooms are decently sized, and are each fitted with a Samsung SmarTV (which is nice, but also really slow). They also provide Fiji water in the rooms (my favourite!!), and they have really soft/​fluffy towels. In terms of service, the concierge are all really nice, and they remember repeat customers. :)
There are also quite a few bars/​restaurants/​coffee shops right around the H Hotel, so points for convenience!
Overall: 4.5 stars. If I have to be out in the Midland area every week for work, I’m glad I’m staying at the H Hotel. (Only downside is that they aren’t an SPG hotel, so I don’t get points…)
****Update 04/​23/​2014****
I booked the junior suite tonight since the deluxe rooms weren’t available and it wasn’t that much more expensive, and now I want the suite every week! You get twice as much space, and it’s even more comfortable than the deluxe room already was! :)
Update again! Nick (the nighttime concierge) is AWESOME! The concierge who was here when we first checked in had my coworker pick out a welcome gift (food + drink), so she picked out cookies+milk and a beer and asked to have it delivered at 10:45pm after we finished dinner. Either it came early or just never came, so at 11:30pm we started really craving cookies. Nothing else around was open, and I casually mentioned it when asking Nick if room service was still available… to my incredible surprise he immediately offered to personally bring cookies up to the room! Five minutes later, we had a plate of cookies in our room :) such amazing service! Staying at the H hotel whenever I come to midland!

I agree with most everyone reviewing this hotel. Very well trained and friendly staff, super clean building, and nice amenities where ever you go in this building.

This was an Absolutely beautiful hotel. We were only there for a night, but will be back for an entire weekend. The staff was great, the room and bathroom are modern, and not to mention Café Zinc was delicious. This will become an annual trip for us.

This hotel is located in Midland, Michigan, one the best small towns in America, not some huge thriving metropolis where you’d normally find five star service and the finest of properties. However the parent corporation of this hotel wisely elected to bring a facility to the central Michigan region offering patrons top shelf amenities, spectacular guest experiences and top notch dining.
They have just finished total renovation of each guest room which now offers the most comfortable bedding and nicest of linens of any hotel in which I’ve ever stayed. The nice little room amenities like hair dryer, iron & board, Krupps coffee machine, mini fridge (mini bar would be a nice addition) with Wi-​Fi are all appreciated.
We’ve conducted group functions here on several occasions and collectively agree that The H Hotel provides the finest «Total Guest Experience» and is one of the top 10, maybe top 5 properties in the entire state of Michigan.
We all appreciate the beautiful polished floors & marble that glistens, scrumptious food, but the bottom line, the staff makes the difference in the overall guest experience and this is where the H really shines. They’re always warm, friendly, accommodating and well trained to ensure your visit will exceed your expectations.

Really Nice! Rooms were clean, beds were super comfy & the bathrooms were amazing! Love the Oxygen bar and the French Breakfast! Really good bloody mary’s!

Beautiful hotel, fantastic staff, everyone was so friendly.

The professional, courteous, and caring service was nothing less than superb! Okay, the 19″ tube TV and lack of room microwave and referigator is a down check, the Kuerig and lovely toiletries was an offset! The bed was absolutely luxurious! The towels and washcloths were thick and thirsty while feeling like butter! All said, our visit was unexpectedly superb! Thank you!

This is the closest to a Four Seasons or Ritz-​Carlton in Midland that you can experience. The staff is always friendly and super attentive. Club level is worth the extra money if you want extra pampering. Nice workout facilities and on-​site restaurants make this hotel the only one to stay when in town.

This was our second time staying here. On our last night of our Michigan adventure, we made our way from TC to Midland to spend it with the in-​laws home city of Saginaw.
As far as hotels go, this place is pretty awesome! A great location in downtown Midland. There’s the tridge (It’s like a bridge, but with a third leg, so cool) and the farmer’s market right out the «back» which is really the front of the hotel. And the rooms are nice and comfy. Nothing too over the top, but decent Gilcrest and Soames bath amenities. There’s a pool a nice exercise room and even a massage therapy room!
The hotel has a restaurant and a great coffee shop on street level. It’s our go to spot while in the area. Great for business travel too.

Really nice hotel.
Midland is apparently pretty much owned by the Dow chemical company, and this hotel is no exception. It is apparent that they want to pamper their visitors, as this establishment has lots of perks and an overall clean and elegant appearance.
So lets start with the good, since there are so few negatives. First, when you walk in this place you know it is a classy and upscale establishment. The overall look and feel is modern. The fitness center is absolutely amazing; there is a ton of equipment to use, and many machines even have televisions built in. There is a nice (if a little small) indoor heated pool located just outside the fitness area. Also, there is a nice spa in the pool area.
One unusual perk to this place (especially for you late sleepers) is the check out time of 1 PM. Two extra hours to lounge around is a nice perk that I have not found elsewhere.
We had breakfast served to our room, and it was delicious (not too awfully pricey either; it would have cost just as much to go to any average restaurant). Oh and the bedding in the rooms was fantastic… lots of comfy pillows and nice duvet covers on the beds. Everything in the room was nice and clean, none of the ‘yuck’ factor here.
The staff was fantastic. We never once walked past the front desk without being greeted warmly, and every time we needed any form of service it was prompt and friendly.
Oh, and there is sort of an ‘easter egg’ here, too. The hidden pantry on the 5^th floor. Stocked with sodas, juices, and even some snacks… all for no extra charge. They do not advertise this, you have to go find it.
OK, so the few negatives. The room we were in was the dreaded ‘air conditioner view’ room that I have read about on some other reviews. For some this may be a big issue, but for us we really didn’t care. We didn’t come to Midland, MI for the views. Also, there were construction workers literally RIGHT outside our window first thing in the morning. This was more of an issue for us. However, I understand that this is necessary in the course of getting the hotel renovated.
Also, the room itself was basic and in need of some small updates. Again, I expect this will be addressed when the current renovation project is complete.
I can’t speak too much to the value of the hotel, as we booked our room through a discount service and paid much less than average for the room. However, had we paid full price we probably would have been less than pleased with the room itself. I can’t stress enough that the hotel as an overall package is great, but the rooms do need some updating and exra amenities for the normal price.
I will definitely come back here if I am ever in Midland again, and I am sure that it will be better for the renovations.

The H is certainly the place to stay if you are in Midland (presumably because you are visiting Dow). Located right on Main Street, you are steps away from the quaint shops and restaurants in Midland, as well as the courthouse, the river, and the Tridge. More importantly, there are good quality eats in the hotel itself.
The hotel doesn’t seem like much when you drive into the underground lot, but when you walk into the lobby it’s sleek, bright white, and cool without being aloof. The hotel pumps in some kind of scent which was a tad bit intoxicating. The scene was somewhat reminiscent of being at a W.
Too bad the room décor doesn’t replicate the lobby. Instead, the rooms look pretty much like a typical Sheraton or Marriott room — functional, comfortable, yet unremarkable. Fortunately, they are about to undergo room renovations. If they can spruce up the rooms, add in flat screen TVs, update the amazingly plain and not well lit bathrooms, the H could move up to 5-​star territory.

Beautiful hotel, feel-​good details, like free bikes to rent, and wonderful cookies (with a sweet note) from the chef at bedtime. The décor is gorgeous — black and white predominately, with some lime green accents.
I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Midland.

It’s become a family tradition to stay at the H Hotel over the 4^th of July and watch the fireworks.
The staff is extremely accommodating and very helpful. For our most recent stay we had 10 adults, 3 kids and 6 rooms. The rooms with the kids got beta fish (all named after different elements) to keep in their rooms for their stay.
The rooms are decent sized (some bigger than others) with comfy beds and the standard amenities.
Their exercise room is amazing and the pool is nice too.
They have bikes you can use for free to tour the area. We have used the single, tandem and group bikes and had loads of fun!
If you find a reason to be in Midland I highly recommend this hotel!

I only wish I could have stayed in the rooms. Unfortunately, the H was completely booked during my stay in Midland, and I ended up overnight at the Hampton Inn.
But I did enjoy the H Hotel’s meeting space, Café Zinc, and Bar Oxygen. All my interactions with the front desk were excellent. The customer service is top notch, and they gladly comped my garage parking ticket.
Next time, I’ll be sure to book way in advance!

I had an amazing stay at the H hotel in Midland. Was in town for what most people come there for 2 days at my company’s head quarter’s-Dow Chemical. Midland doesn’t really have much going on other than Dow properties, a new minor league statium and this cute little main street that the H hotel is on. The hotel is stunning upon entering. Beautiful modern floral arrangements everywhere, shiny floors, a cozy but elegant sitting area. The room I stayed in was nothing fancy-​other than the super comfy down comforter bed– the room décor is about the same as you would get in a Holiday Inn. Regardless, there room was spotless, had free wi-​fi and excellent room and maid services.
The gym may have been the best gym I’ve seen in a hotel. State of the art treadmills with 20 channel tvs built in. Bikes, elipticals and great weight machines. Fresh clean towels as well as a pool and hot tub.
Only got a quick glimpse of the bar and side café. Both were nicely decorated and had good options. A little pricy but standard for any hotel and doesn’t really matter when it’s on the company:)
Another plus of the hotel is on the 5^th floor– they have a room with a fridge stocked with sodas, water bottles and juices. The freezer had hot pockets and all available were chips and cookies. No paying $ 5 for a soda in your room– all of this was included in your stay and available all day to grab at your convenience.
If you’re forced to go to Midland– I highly recommend the H hotel. An equal balance of high class and affordable comfort.
