On tuesday night (July 9) at midnight I entered the Holiday Inn (after having ”succesfully checked in at 8 pm) only to find my key did not work. When I went downstairs to talk to the clerk, he was immediatly very defiant. Adam, the staff person, stated that it ”obviously” did not work because my credit card did not have suficent funds. For the record, I have a corporate credit card that has a very hefty credit line. I explained that I had checked in succesfully earlier that night, but he was not having it. He would not accept the same credit card, or even try to make it work, and said I needed another card or he could not help me. This is at midnight, so I obviously had very little alternate options of asking a colleague or another hotel for assistance. Adam was so rude, that after a back and forth of a few minutes, I left dumbfounded- to the streets to find a solution. Again, at midnight, in Detroit. I walked to The Townsend where I was helped even though they were sold out (see my review). Now- this was a last minute reservation, and I was willing to give Holiday Inn another chance, because I had had two previous bad experiences at a Holiday Inn this year. The first being at Pomona, California, where I went on a business trip and had no wifi for the 3 days I was there. No aplogies, no explanation. Just ”find a starbucks with wifi” as a solution. The second experience was near Gainseville wher I stayed 3 days and my bathroom was out of service for the 3 days. The 3 days they promised to fix it, yet they did not. Did not offer me an alternate room, they only offered me extra points on my loyalty card. This was obviously the last straw. I have shared this experience with my colleagues and we have all pledged to never stay at a Holiday Inn. I work for a multinational compnay. We have about four offices with approximately 200 employees who travel consistently to the Birmingham office for business. Holiday Inn can now thank Adam for losing that business with his disregard for guest services. As a final note, my assistant called my credit card company, and Adam the following morning. She confirmed with Adam that it was a mistake on his part, and he realized that a few minutes later, yet he never bothered to call me on my cell to have me come back. He just wrote it off as a ”miscommunication” amongst his staff. Thanks for nothing.

The Daxton is a great hotel it’s pretty consistent every time I stay. I rate cleanliness a 3 because my experience has been hit and miss. The first and second time I stayed the cleanliness was on point. The third time I stayed they put me in a room that just wasn’t very clean they apologized, moved me immediately and upgraded my room that was nice. The last time I stayed whoever cleaned my bathroom had shedding hair or something and there were long strands of hair that were not my own in the shower and on my towel. That wasn’t cool but it happens. The amenities are great they have a complimentary snack area in each floor with coffee, tea, beverages and little pastries and snacks which is an excellent extra and overall the service is great. The area around the hotel is very walkable there is great shopping and food options there’s even a nice park nearby. The Daxton has become my go to hotel when visiting MI and I come up quite a bit.

The staff is welcoming, the price is acceptable and the price is high. There is a swimming pool and gym on the first floor.

I love this hotel! We get the room with 2 tvs and it works Great! It keeps the peace, lol. Also the kitchen is awesome! The decor and patio too is awesome and gorgeous! I'm curious how it would be during normal times but right now I'm lovin them. peaceful.

This is my new favorite hotel in every city I go for business. Rooms have everything you need. Bathrooms are brand new and perfectly clean. Beds are super comfortable.

Very food hotel with clean rooms. Helpful front desk staff. Location is good with good restaurant around.

We had a great experience at this location. The staff were friendly (especially at breakfast) and helpful. The room was clean as was the rest of the hotel. Parking was available close to the entrance which made it easy to unload with the kids. Would stay again if we were back in the area.

I come to this area every year for a classic car cruise and visit family. This is the closest hotel to my family. I have stayed here in years past and its been average. Nothing special but I don't spend a lot of time there to begin with. This visit the room was overcome with a musty odor. The only way to combat it was to run the A/C very high and keep the bathroom fanning running. After a day in the sun we would come back to this ice box. Without doing that the room smelled and none of the linens would dry. And it was't really that humid out. The Wifi was also very glitchy. These are enough factors that when I return next year I won't be coming back to this Hampton Inn.

We chose this hotel over a different less expensive hotel down the street because of the highly reviewed restaurant and the beautiful interior photos on the website. We paid around $400 for this room. When we arrived, we discovered that the hotel was hosting a Classic Cars event. All of the parking spaces at the front entrance and along the sides were taken up by Classic Cars and parade tents filled with partying people. There was a very loud band blocking the hotel entrance as well, and it was raining. This all might have been fun if we were Classic Car enthusiasts, but we are not. We're just regular family people and we were there for a baptism at the church down the road. The hotel bar and restaurant were completely filled with event guests. We discovered we had been booked into an Accessible room, meaning that it was outfitted for wheelchairs, but we are young(ish) and not disabled. Other than that, the room was pretty......until we opened the curtains and were staring at what must have been the entire HVAC system for the hotel. Possibly worst of all, there was a piped-in scent throughout the hotel - even in our room - that reminded me of cheap 1980's men's musk cologne. It was awful. It permeated our clothes, and my hair. All night, cars were revving their engines. However, the front desk staff was very nice. What we experienced was definitely not what was advertised by this hotel.
