Elios Was Absolutely Amazing!!! I frequent Detroit and stayed @ several Hotels but By Far my Stay at the Sonesta Select was absolutely Amazing because of Elios. The GM treated us with Such Care it was VIP status !!! I highly recommend that if you are traveling to Pontiac Michigan Check out the Sonesta Hotel !!!!!!
Was in town attending a funeral and stayed here for 2 nights. Selected the hotel because another family member was staying here. While it’s not an upscale property, it was very affordable booking directly from their website. The room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The hotel offered free Starbucks coffee and a hot breakfast starting around 5:30am which was convenient. There was a nice lobby and sitting area with a fireplace and several TVs. The hotel offered a small fitness room and an indoor pool which was closed during my visit. Several drawback’s were no housekeeping (offered refresh only), no complimentary bottled water, tv connection was spotty, and the keycards routinely didn’t work and needed to be replaced. Overall a good property for the price. Very nice sales manager and cook.
Out of all the hotels I have stayed at in my travels this is my favorite one.Clean, quiet, and the nicest people from front desk to housekeeping thank you for a great stay
I wish I could give them ten stars for service.The General Manager Ellios is amazing! He's a rock star! He really listens to the needs of the guests, and go over and above to accommodate their needs. I will stay here every time i'm in the Detroit area.
I had a wonderful stay at Sonesta Select Detroit Auburn Hills. Owner Julian Jarbo went above and beyond to accommodate my whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. When I mentioned I’m vegan, he personally ensured I received a fresh, beautifully prepared plant-based breakfast instead of the standard option. The vegetables were vibrant, delicious, and thoughtfully presented—it truly made my morning special. The room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Soft, spotless towels, a relaxing shower with great water pressure, a small refrigerator, pillows that were actually comfortable (flat enough to sleep on!), and dreamy beds made for a restful stay. Exceptional hospitality and genuine attention to detail. I would gladly stay here again.
We just left here after a great stay! I can’t say enough how clean the room was and such a great value for the price! Only 10mins to all the shopping and restaurants but far enough away that it’s not so busy and it’s quiet. Would definitely stay here again, well worth the price.
It was a budget friendly hotel for my company to book. The bartender, Elios, is a great guy. Me and several of my business partners staying here had our room keys demagnetize themselves 2 or 3 times during our 4-day stay. Breakfast spread not impressive but this was a warm and clean place to lay our heads. The HUB is right across from it so you don't need to rent a car to access food and entertainment. You can just make a 2 minute walk. Cable was glitch so it was hard to watch TV. Had to use my iPad Pro for that. Wifi was good.
This modern hotel off Interstate 75 is 3 miles from the Katke-Cousins and R&S Sharf Golf Courses, and also 3 miles from sports and entertainment at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
