Hilton Garden Inn

Outstanding service. Friendly welcoming staff. food was delicious. I will definitely staff here if my travels brings me back to Detroit.

Yes this hotel is right in a flight path, actually that is why I chose it. We stayed on the south side of the hotel which gets the back of the planes coming in. I suspect the north side would be quieter if that is an issue for you. The rooms are what you would expect at an HGI. Staff is very friendly, especially the guy who cooks the breakfast — outstanding (as was his breakfast)!!! I thought it was relatively inexpensive ($ 80), but I suppose that was due to the proximity to the airport and flight pattern. I would definitely stay there again for that price.

Meh is right. The staff are really great, however, and make a big difference. I’ve stayed here twice recently and both times were only okay. Both times I’ve had to sleep in a double room even though there is only one of me and top that off I am an HHonors Gold! This is no Hyatt, which now guarantees bed type for EVERYone. The hotel is right under the active runways and from 5am to 11pm, there are a lot of flights. I’ve also stayed at the nearby Sheraton, which is also right under the flight paths and one cannot hear anything there. The same is not true at the Hilton Garden Inn, which is clearly not well soundproofed. (It’s possible to do this, I know, as I am trained as an architect.) Breakfast is pretty tasty and the little market/​shop carries a decent array of things one might need.
The small fitness center is pretty well equipped, although they were out of headphones which was a problem for me as I left mine on the airplane. Alas, it’s the small things that really add up… I don’t think I’ll be coming back given the myriad options for other hotels, but it’s an alright place. Perhaps a little pricey, all things considered.

Not the nicest place I’ve stayed by a long shot, but not the worst either. I stayed for 3 nights, and the entire time one of their 2 elevators was down. Made a lot of people very grumpy since it was a busy weekend.
The first night we got a wake-​up call at 5 in the morning that we did NOT request. We brought it to the attention of the staff and it didn’t happen again, but it was still really weird and they couldn’t even tell us how the mix up occurred.
We also ended up with twin beds. Which I couldn’t remember if we specified that we needed a king or queen on the phone, so we didn’t end up saying anything for that reason and also because we had already lugged everything up the stairs (because the line for the elevator was ridiculous.)
No complimentary breakfast, but the mini fridge, microwave, and keurig was really nice. Everything was kept clean and towels and cups and whatnot were restocked daily.

I stayed here overnight when my flight was cancelled at DTW and had a pretty good night’s sleep. This HGI in located right next to the Hampton. With this hotel being so close to the airport, I thought it would be noisier but I didn’t noticed any airplane noises. They have a 24 hour convenient store next to the front desk that carry a decent selection of beverages (including beer and wine), frozen meals, ice cream, snacks and toiletries. Their restaurant also serve meals with daily specials displayed in the lobby.
As a gold member, they gave me 2 bottles of water on arrival. There is good selection on TV, including movie channels. There’s a Keurig machine with complimentary coffee and tea. There’s free wifi, a fridge and microwave in every room.
The fire alarm did go off a couple of times in the evening (false alarm from kitchen vent). The first time we had to leave our rooms but the 2^nd time the alarm was only on a few seconds.
There’s a complimentary shuttle that goes to the airport every 15 minutes and it only takes about 5 – 10 minutes to get to the airport.

Had the opportunity to stay there on two separate occasions. Had good service each time. Restaurant is OK although they could stand to update their menus (and/​or food providers). Good value for the accommodations provided!
Thanks!

I am a weekly cooperate traveler. I stay at Hilton properties every week. This property let me down in comparison to other HGI. Upon my arrival at the hotel the restaurant was closed, bummer, but the staff did offer me brochures and or a shuttle ride to a neighbor restaurant.
When I got to my room I immediately noticed black stains on the comforter and sheets. I went down and they were quickly able to get me into a new room. Unfortunately this room is on the 6^th floor, highest floor. New flight paths now brings planes directly over this hotel. It is unnerving how loud and low these planes are. Try to avoid the 6^th floor.
Breakfast food was average for a Hilton property, but prompt. Room service for the next night was ok, although I feel they have a smaller menu than most HGI
Overall this property seemed run down and dingy for a HGI.
The gym has one elliptical and 2 treadmills. No bike and was full when I went.
If I return I’ll unfortunately avoid this hotel :-(

Room was clean and comfortable. We booked a hotwire rate, so it was also quite cheap. The only negative was that the water went ice-​cold in the middle of my shower. The hotel is very close to the airport which is why we stayed there.

Great staff, great location. It’s kind of hard to get to but I’m loyal to the brand and this hotel delivered. The restaurant was pretty decent, the room was very clean and quiet. I read a few reviews that because it’s close to the airport, it can be quite loud. I would disagree with that. I don’t think it had any more noise than an airport hotel would normally have.
We used the pool often which is an indoor with a hot tub. It was warm and clean. My sister and her son stayed there as well and also enjoyed the experience.
If you’re a Hilton fan, give it a try. Don’t be scared of the location or the noise, betting you’ll enjoy your stay.

the front desk manager: Genevieve, or Jeneliel (whatever) greets with a frown and is very defensive and combative. I did not appreciate her attitude. The other employees were very very nice, though. :) There was construction blocking the front door for most of our stay so we had to use the side doors and walk through grass. Housekeeping left the room disheveled a few times. But! The Internet was working quite well and the location is fantastic. not far from the airport :) The rooms are clean and the food is okay. However, I wouldnt come back unless i had to.

I was so disappointed in this location of HGI. I am an extremely frequent traveler– and HGI is my 2^nd favorite of the Hilton brands.
This location was kind of dingy and didn’t seem like the fresh, inviting space I have come to expect from HGI. The selection of tea available (I’m watching my caffeine intake, but I love a hot beverage in the morning…) was disappointing compared to most locations that carry the Tazo teas. I was lucky to find a Lipton tea bag.
It seemed like it could really use some renovations, and that’s surprising because I feel like most of these hotels are fairly new. My normal Diamond benefits are the bottles of water– generally they let you pick a small snack of some kind as well– I got the water, but no treat. Aww. No treat. :(
I wasn’t offered the choice of extra HHonors points OR breakfast– even though I’ve selected extra points in my HHonors profile, they normally ask me each stay at HGI which one I’d like. Bummer, too, because the reason I normally don’t do breakfast is time limitations– which wasn’t a factor the 2^nd day here, and I’d really liked to have had breakfast– but the American Grill prices are too high for me to consider spending my own hard earned cash on the average food they serve.
The bright spot of this place was definitely the friendly staff. They were definitely quite kind, and accommodating.
Overall, not a bad stay– but I’ve had other hotel rooms in the same area that I’d rather go back to than this one. If you are not a frequent traveler/​hotel snob like me, this place would probably be just fine for you. :)

This is actually one of the better HGI locations I’ve stayed. I was here during the Auto Show (media week) and while it was busy, my room was still quiet and well-​kept. The hotel is within close distance (quick shuttle time) of the airport and has easy access to the interstate.
The fitness center and pool are really great here — clean and well-​kept with actual working treadmills. The café was clean and I had breakfast here both of the days I stayed.

Stuck in DTW due to lake snow delays, the Hilton Garden Inn saved us.
After 1 AM, it took us less than ten minutes to take the hotel shuttle from DTW to the Hilton. The staff at the desk were all friendly and very helpful. Even at that late hour there was a pot of hot water in the lobby with good quality teas available.
The rooms are typical for these hotels. Notably, our room had a high quality office chair and free wired/​wireless internet.
The breakfast served at the hotel is excellent and far beyond what I would expect for the $ 10 price. There’s a great variety of healthy and less-​than-​healthy breakfast foods that are all very fresh – eggs, french toast, wafflles, and anything the chef will make are cooked to order. The two folks staffing the breakfast were good hosts without being too intrusive.
The only flaw of the stay was that the made-​for-​hotels simple alarm clock had the wrong time; it was exactly 12 hours off.

Hilton Gardens (DTW) — Had to stay here overnight because my connecting flight to Vegas wasn’t cooperating with me. Aside: Always fly non-​stop and never book with Delta. [end.aside] Hotel was pretty nice — I liked the complimentary bathroom supplies. They were Neutrogena stuff including French-​milled soap. That sounds so fruity, lol, «ooh, French-​milled soap». But all seriousness, I’m just writing this bc baby doll in Detroit. 8÷11÷11 Thursday night at 11pm-​ish.
dmo out.

Probably one of the lesser Hilton Garden Inns I have been to — not bad, just not great. It is located VERY close to the airport, which is a good thing, but being so close to all of the other airport hotels in this case is probably why it’s not top-​notch.
Handy, and also pay close attention when taking a rental car for return — not the easiest to find!!!
