“Good stay, close to stadiums/venues”
Nice place to stay for the night. Close to downtown. We felt safe and had no issues at all. People at front desk were very nice too. Recommended for overnight stay after events at Detroit.

“Stay Motel Detroit”
The personnal has been really nice in all way and very helpful when I needed it. The room was spacious and well-equiped. Not far from Qline (15min walk) or from downtown or MoGo bycicle it was easy to reach any part of the city.

“Clean but a bit noisy, stay max 3 days!”
Location was actually very good! Only a 30 min right into the city centre. 24hr convenience store gas station right across the street which was handy. For the price was pretty clean and the room had all the essentials. Would recommend if you're staying for just 2 or 3 days max!

“Best place if you only need a place to take a bath, leave your car and walk to an event.”
The location is perfect for any event you want to go in downtown. It's the best you can get for the price and you can just walk from the motel to the venues.

“Reviews on the internet were outdated, the motel exceeded my expectations.”
I traveled to Detroit for a conference. There weren’t many hotels available, so I decided to book the Viking Motel based on availability and its rating on Booking.com. After booking, I checked the motel on Google and was alarmed by the ratings I saw on other websites. For example, there were reviews on TripAdvisor dating back to 2008 mentioning things like towels stained with blood. It seems the motel's reputation has been affected by outdated reviews. I was expecting something terrible, but I actually found it to be quite decent. I might be an outlier, but in my experience, the place was great, and I think most people could stay there without concern.

“Awesome place. Very authentic. The manager of the Motel is a wonderful woman! She is very kind.”
The manager of the Motel is a wonderful woman! She was very kind with me all the time. I can say that it has been the greatest manager of an accomodation that I've met so far when staying somewhere.
