Top Pontiac Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Utica

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, and the staff were very nice and helpful. I keep going back every time we are in the area."

Hyatt House Royal Oak/Birmingham

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. They still have a few glitches to work out i.e. bar not open, some minor things in the room not working etc.. The staff is definitely their best asset. My husband was having surgery at Beaumont and the location of this property cannot be beat. You do not even need to get out on the highway to get to the hospital from the hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Pontiac/Auburn Hills

10/10 Excellent

"It was very easy to find the Courtyard Marriott Expedia website the minute we got to the hotel the front desk host was very friendly very helpful clean rooms great staff and when it was time to departure at 11:00 they were nice enough to extend it to 2:00 I will always stay there and recommend friends and family to do the same"

Residence Inn by Marriott Detroit Pontiac Auburn Hills

8/10 Good

"Clean room, friendly staff and decent breakfast. Bananas are seemingly popular for some reason. Anyway, shower curtains can use some replacing. Great black out curtains, good climate control, ok tv channel selection but remote was hard to work with. Bedding not bad, didn't wake up in pain. Dishes stocked in kitchen was useful. Sofabeds were the typical sofabeds, as expected. No indications or signs of bed bugs in neither form of bedding."
