When my family moved to the Detroit area in 1970, we stayed at this hotel. So, its kind of a sentimental favorite. I've stayed here several times in the last couple of years and have found the experience a little uneven. The cheapest single rooms are large but the carpeting and furniture are worn out. The slightly more expensive single rooms are beautifully decorated. All rooms have comfortable beds and I have seen no insects. (I always look.) This hotel is popular with fishing groups so if you stay here during one of their meets, you can expect some rowdiness, a full parking lot, and a sign that says, "Clean fish here," near one of the back doors. Since this place is so much cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express next door, I put in my earplugs and put up with it! I do wish a breakfast was provided. You can buy breakfast in the bar/restaurant but it is a pretty dingy space during daylight hours.
Room Tip: This is a good choice of hotel if you have kids because this hotel has a huge pool with a huge deck...

Hello TravelLady511! We appreciate you sharing your experience here on tripadvisor. I am happy you think of us when coming to the Woodhaven, MI area. I wanted to let you know the
"cheapest single rooms" have been totally renovated in February 2011. This renovation included new carpeting, new wall vinyl, new bedding, and much more. We have had positive feedback from this change. Our king and double queen rooms also received the new bedding package.
You are absolutely correct about fishing groups here at the Best Western Woodhaven Inn. We host many large fishing tournaments throughout the year especially in early spring and summer. It does get pretty busy since we are so close to Lake Erie.
Also, we are beginning a special BREAKFAST FOR TWO package so that you can have your breakfast included in your room rate.
Again, thank you for submitting your comments. We here at the BEST WESTERN Woodhaven Inn hope to see you soon.
