Americas Best Value Inn Romulus Detroit Airport

The real highlight came when we got back. We were worried the car would need a jump, so I called after collecting our luggage. The driver arrived right away, then helped clear the car, brought out extra-long jumper cables even though we'd packed our own, got us started, and helped us get on the road. Big thanks to Ali, 5/5 for that help! We chose this place because the stay and parking together were a good deal. The room was basic, like a cheaper hotel, and parking cost less than a regular airport lot. Breakfast wasn't great, but Leo's is in the same lot, so we ate there instead.

We lost a night's stay because our flight was delayed, though that's not the Inn's fault. The shuttle drivers were pleasant, quick to respond, and on time, and everyone on staff was kind and helpful. The room was very clean and we slept well, even though the property is dated. We also tried a few nearby places to eat and found Capitol Bistro & Bar to be a hidden gem. I suspect some of the people waiting to get in were locals.

We waited outside in below-freezing weather with our toddler for over 45 minutes for the shuttle. I called the front desk three times and was told the driver would be there soon, but he still didn't arrive. We booked this for the park, sleep and fly option, and I wouldn't recommend it.

The rooms were old and had a musty smell, and the shuttle was slow enough that we had to call several times for pickup. We booked one night's stay with 11 days of free parking, but were charged extra when we got back. That felt very dishonest. I'd stay away.
