Minute Suites Detroit — Hotel in Romulus

I made the decision to stay at the Detroit airport Minute Suites on Nov 18, 2022. I paid $182.32 for 4 hours because I had an almost 7-hour layover on my way back home. The desk attendant was pleasant but never told me what came with the suite or what I would experience. I paid but had to wait over an hour for an opening. After lunch, I returned to a different desk attendant. She was also very pleasant. I was led back to a small room with a hard leather-like couch, desk, a TV and a couple of clothes hangers on the door. The attendant wiped down the couch and made sure I had a blanket and a pillow. The room was very clean and smelled fresh. I had a hard time turning the lock so that the door couldn't be opened from the outside. I was stunned to discover that the couch was very hard and almost impossible to relax or nap on. Apparently, there was a shower and bathroom that I could access that I was never told about. After turning the light off and settling down, I quickly discovered that the airport tram that runs overhead was deafening and shook the room as it passed by. I should have just left, but I'm not one to cause an uproar. So, I just lay there on a very uncomfortable, hard surface trying to nap while a roaring tram passed overhead every 30 seconds or so. Also, the TV came on by itself and lit up the room and changed channels on its own for several minutes adding to the disturbance. I left after my 4 hours were up and I was certainly glad to leave and get to my gate because the gate chairs would most certainly be more comfortable than what Minute Suites had to offer. Needless to say, I will not be using Minute ...

PRIORITY PASS GET AN HOUR FREE! Otherwise, a room is 55 an hour as of August 2024. (though the price is a little high in my opinion, I suppose I've had times in an airport where I would purchase a $55 dollar nap.) Saw this a year ago and really wanted to try it out! You may want to bring your own pillows or blankets if you count on this, but luggage clothes work all the same. You may be asked to wait for a room as well; On a Saturday at 4:45 PM we had to wait about thirty which is a pretty good deal to me. Didn't use any facility but the bed at this location. Light fixures are smooth. There appears to be a fan, bluetooth speaker, television, desk, chair and sofa/bed in each room. There's a bit of noise overhead from the monorail but it isn't much worse than grey noise which was honestly a plus in my opinion. The size of the room was relatively small and minimalist; Two adults should be able to fit in the room– three may be a squeeze. Be sure to set your own alarm to fit your reservation (with maybe some extra time to wake up) and everything should work...

Stayed here for an hour as a Priority Pass holder. The rooms aren’t that spacious; they consist of a a padded bench and computer table with a desk chair. There is a TV above the table and an Alexa Echo Dot you can use for viewing or music. They also offered showers for $20. Even though Priority Pass holders can bring two companions for free, it would be a cramped room. It was a nice place to turn off the lights and rest our eyes for an hour. A switch for white noise was available, but it didn’t do much to drown out the Express Shuttle that is one floor above the room… also the emergency light and smoke alarm lights were bright green which really stood out when the room was dark. Overall, I’d do it again with a priority pass… but I’d be hard pressed to spend any money on the experience. The front desk people were nice and explained how...
