Signature Inn, Warren, MI

Warren, MI, is another former Signature Inn location that I have no been able to visit.

Earlier on in my posts, I said there were three Signature Inns built in 1986.  Through a series of developments mentioned in my April, 25, 2016 post, I have found a fourth Inn that opened in 1986.

Warren, MI, opened in 1986 on Eleven Mile Rd., just off I-696 almost in between I-75 and I-94.  This 124-room hotel was jettisoned in 1993, after Signature Inns' financial troubles of 1990-1991.  Since then, it has operated as a Holiday Inn Express.

Below are a couple of photos of the hotel that I found on the Macomb County, Michigan, auditor's website from an unknown date.

It's hard to tell through Google Street View what the hotel looks like now, but it appears that the cladding was painted at some point through the years.

Finally, a newspaper ad than ran in the July 23, 1986, edition of the Detroit Free Press.  Warren was set to open later that year (as was Evansville, Indiana, which I covered earlier).

sources for this post include the Macomb County, Michigan, auditor's website, information found through newspapers.com,  and imagery found through Bing Maps.
