TownePlace Suites Chesterfield has become one of my family’s go-to hotel bases in Chesterfield, Michigan—especially for cross-border shopping trips from Canada. This TownePlace Suites Chesterfield hotel review covers the full in-room kitchen, bright pool, strong gym, Hall Road location, nearby food, and why this stay works so well for road-tripping families.
TownePlace Suites Chesterfield Arrival & First Impressions
We pulled in just before 5 p.m.—lots of parking up front and plenty of luggage carts (always a good omen). Inside: bright, open lobby with cozy pockets of seating that double as the breakfast area. Outside: two big BBQs (the front desk will lend tools) and a fire pit with lounge chairs that actually gets used.
Check-in shoutout: Sean at the front desk—friendly, fast, and super helpful.
Studio 2 Queen Upgrade & Room Layout
Booked a Studio King, but since my sister joined, Sean upgraded us to a Studio 2 Queen (corner room, 4th floor = quiet). Entry hallway has a closet plus a real kitchen: full-size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and stovetop. In the main space:
- Wall-mounted swivel TV with a two-chair table underneath
- Reading chair + lamp corner
- Two comfy queen beds
- Full-length mirror + wall hooks (clutch for bags)
- Clean, well-kept bathroom with a tub
Room vibe = bright, well-lit, and way more spacious than you expect at this price point.
Tech & Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi was easy to connect on all my devices (laptop/phone/iPad/Nintendo Switch). Speeds leaned slower, but I could still play Roblox on iPad fine. For this TownePlace Suites Chesterfield hotel review, the Wi-Fi was one of the only weaker points, but it still handled casual gaming and regular browsing during my stay.

Console setup: the swivel mount made HDMI a breeze, and everything worked perfectly.
One wish: more accessible outlets near the TV/desk (designers, please!). My trusty power strip saved the day—pack one.
Pool, Gym & Hang Spaces
- Pool: in-between small and medium, wall of floor-to-ceiling windows = tons of natural light. Good mix of loungers, tables, and chairs.
- Fitness center (legit impressive for a TPS):
- 6 cardio machines • full dumbbell rack • 2 benches • leg press • lat pull-down • yoga gear
- Outdoors: BBQ zone + fire pit = great evening hang after shopping runs.
Food Near TownePlace Suites Chesterfield
Right off Hall Road (M-59) = options for days.
My musts:
- Buddy’s Pizza (Detroit-style legend) – <15 min
- Ford’s Garage – we hit Happy Hour: cheese curds to start, then Woodward Burger combo (I swapped the beer for a cherry Coke)
Other solid picks nearby (most within 5–15 min):
Culver’s (across the street) • Jersey Mike’s • Portillo’s (Italian beef + chocolate cake shake = do it) • Outback Steakhouse • Juan Miguel’s • Olive Garden (lunch soup/salad/breadsticks FTW)
Dessert + a mini show: Sanders Chocolate & Ice Cream Shoppe (~5 min). Grab a Hot Fudge Cream Puff or Bumpy Cake, then peek through the glass hallway to watch chocolates being made on the production lines. It’s nostalgia + sugar.
Breakfast Notes
Breakfast is included. Options during our stay: muffins, breads, hard-boiled eggs, pancakes, spinach quiche, egg-ham-cheese croissants, oatmeal bar, milk/yogurt/juices, cereals, fruit.
Where it could improve: I’d love separate scrambled eggs + sausage/bacon, and a waffle station would level it up.
Things To Do Near TownePlace Suites Chesterfield
- C.J. Barrymore’s (seasonal hours): karts, loop coaster, water rides, bowling, mini golf—indoor/outdoor amusement park energy.

- Multiple movie theatres within ~20 minutes.
