Editor's Analysis
Created: Feb 2, 2012
Overview
The Travelodge Hotel Downtown Casino Windsor is a 160 room property located just minutes from the tunnel to Detroit. Reviews of this hotel are somewhat polarized. There were those that praised the location and liked it for a basic accommodation for a simple overnight stay, while others complained about the customer service and condition of the property.
The Good
The most consistent positive comment about this hotel among guests was the location. This hotel is walking distance to the casino as well as many bars and restaurants in downtown Windsor. According to some reviewers on TripAdvisor.com this property has a nice view of the Windsor waterfront that overlooks downtown Detroit. In addition, it is minutes away from the the transit system that travels through the tunnel, across to Detroit.

The Bad
A typical complaint from various guests across multiple sources was the price for parking. Parking prices according to guests ranged from $10-$15 and space was limited. Customer service seemed to be somewhat inconsistent. There were some positive reviews that mentioned customer service, however it was hard to ignore the number of complaints regarding the staff, particularly on TripAdvisor.com. For example, numerous reviews mentioned a poor quality Internet connection. This issue was mentioned to the hotel, however the staff, according to some reviewers, was not overly helpful. The furniture in the room was dated and the carpets were worn reported some guests. Finally, there were a few complaints from TripAdvisor.com reviewers that the hotel was more or less a party hotel for younger guests due to the close proximity to the casino and many downtown bars. I suppose depending on who you are and what you are looking for this could just as easily be a point to be included in the above ‘Good’ section.
I checked out the following sources for this analysis, here’s what I found...

MyTravelGuide.com guest ratings averaged to a somewhat less than impressive 6.5 points out of 10. There were no shortage of complaints regarding the paid parking. However, similarly, there were no shortage of positive comments about the location.

TripAdvisor.com uses a 5 point rating scale. Average guest reviews came out to only 2.5 out of 5 points as many guests complained about the party atmosphere due to the close proximity to the casino and downtown bars.

Expedia.com guest rated this hotel on average 3.5 out of 5 points, which was on the higher end compared to the other sources used for this analysis. Guest generally liked the location of the hotel, however there was some complaint regarding the quality of the customer service.

Booking.com guest reviews scored this hotel 7 out of 10 points. Location was the main reason that kept this rating relatively high. There were quite a few complaints however about the cleanliness and the customer service.

"Friendly Staff"
"Very friendly and helpful service. We asked for a fridge and they delivered it to the room, no charge. The temperature was a problem in the room, it was freezing cold but with adjustment of the heater it warmed up but it took a long time and we ended up sleeping in our clothes to stay warm. We could have probably switched rooms but we were so tired, it was late and we just fell asleep."

"Location is the best for after the bars downtown"
"It's bad that I have to pay $10 for parking under threat of getting my car towed, that's just uncalled for after paying to stay in an old hotel. Otherwise everything was great and the staff very friendly and helpful, they even let me have a late checkout at noon instead of 11am when I asked the night before."

Kymberly from Owen Sound, ON CA rated Travelodge Hotel Downtown Casino Windsor 5 out of 10 on August 14, 2011 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Overall it was not the worst experience ever. We did get the river rooms we booked, good view. There were things that could have improved. The rooms needed air badly, the comforters were from the 1800's and gross! The beds were also from that era. It really needs an update. Parking was crazy tight but could pay 5$ for the parking lot that was beside but of course if anything happened to it they would not care. It was a short walk to the keg and the hotel did give us complimentary shrimp apps. If I was to do it again I would have paid the extra money to stay at caesars palace."

"Would recommend this hotel as it was clean & staff friendly."
"I found that hotel clean. The staff were very nice. Location was great. It had a small pool which we had to ourselves. Mostly I don't spend time at the hotel using the amenities so the only thing that was important to me was that the room was clean. As usual I found the beds a bit hard but find that in most hotels so guess I prefer beds on the softer side."

"Although we had a "non-smoking" room, you could still smell the smoke. The mattresses were totally uncomfortable and the air conditioner didn't work. Our buffet breakfast was cold and didn't include toast unless we wanted to pay extra. What breakfast buffet doesn't include toast??? The only good thing about the hotel was the location."

Maria from Montreal-nord, QC CA rated Travelodge Hotel Downtown Casino Windsor 8 out of 10 on February 28, 2010 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Having arrived very late on a Saturday at check in time, after 1:30 am instead of Friday evening from a long trip there from Montreal, it was a nasty surprise to know that we were being billed a full extra day for only staying 1 1/2 days. That I don't agree with and the shuttle service was not avaiable to return us to our bus station so we had to take a cab after waiting for over 15 minutes! The personnel could have been much nicer then they were although we did get extra coffee and pillows when we asked for them. But for the $74 bucks per night we paid, it was all we needed. Close by, convenient, clean and presentable and cheap so it was good at best."

"They hand you a parking pass, you struggle to find parking; because there really isn't enough. The second night you park at the parking lot next door for $5.00 because there is no spots available in the hotel lot. Best of all when you check out they tack on a $20.00 parking fee, $10.00 per day for the last 2 days, even though you didn't park there because it was full and you were never told that parking was extra. Signed Very Angry from Toronto"

"make sure that you find your own parking, because the hotels parking is a joke. so look forward to spending at least 10 to 15 dollars for all night parking. the amenities are ok like the coffee pot in the room is cool, the pool and jacuzzi are cool, but the whole parking thing is just really frustrating."

Michelle from Kent, OH US rated Travelodge Hotel Downtown Casino Windsor 8 out of 10 on August 21, 2005 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"Normally when we stay in Windsor, we stay at the Casino hotel. The casino was booked for this particular weekend. In comparing the two hotel rooms, the only difference was the square footage of the bathrooms. The showers made up for this small concession. The riverfront window view is wonderful. My only concern was the parking situation. The parking lot is extremely small and rented to local restaurants & bars for parking. As a hotel guest, we were asked to paid an additional $10.00 for a pass without a guaranteed spot. If you are looking to park after 8:00 pm, good luck! We will be staying at the Travelodge Windsor again."

"I have never stayed at a hotel that didn't have adequate parking for its guests. We had to go three blocks at midnight to park up two flights of steps in the cold, rain and wind. Plus we had to pay to park, I don't think so. We would never stay there again. You could have had valet parking. And the enterance and what parking you had was so crammed and crowded. Also the sausage at the restaurant in the hotel was terrible. I have never tasted anything like it. Cheap fat was all it was."
