The Belleville center is about 3 miles southeast of Willow Run Airport and 4 miles west of Romulus.
The best time to visit Belleville, Michigan, is from mid-May to early October when temperatures range from the high 40s to mid-80s. Rainfall is typical for this time of the year, and averages around 25 inches from May to October. You have more time to visit Michigan during the optimal weather because the temperatures are never too hot. Plus, there is less humidity in the area, so the winter lows feel warmer and the summer highs feel cooler than other parts of the country.
During the winter Belleville is less inviting. Snowfall for the area is higher than average for the United States, which is 26 inches. The winter weather conditions make for poor road conditions, so winter is especially bad for out-of-town guests with little to no snow driving experience. During this time of the year the temperature is usually frigidly cold in the evenings and throughout the night.
Shopping the discounts at local hotels is a great way to increase your savings during your trip to Belleville. There are discounts for AAA members, members of the military or government, and senior citizens or members of AARP. The savings can be as high as 35-40 percent so it is worth checking them out.
Some of the area hotels that offer the deepest discounts are the Red Roof Inn and the Baymont Inn & Suites Belleville Airport Area. Both hotels offer clean comfortable rooms with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast if you are willing to drive in from Belleville. The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport also offers great discounts for military and AAA members.
The Sheraton in Romulus offers excellent discounts if you are in the military or a member of AAA, which makes the Sheraton even more attractive.
The best value is going to differ for each traveler. Depending on your taste and needs you will find value in the area hotels that fit your needs best.
The Radisson Hotel Detroit Metro Airport in nearby Romulus is an exceptional value. The hotel is just under 7-miles away from Belleville and it offers great amenities. There is a free shuttle that will take you anywhere in a 5-mile radius and it will pick you up when you are ready and bring you back to the hotel. There is also a restaurant in the hotel that serves hot breakfast each morning. The continental breakfast is free, although you can elect to pay a minimal fee for a breakfast of your choosing from the on-site restaurant.
The Sheraton Detroit Metro Airport is another best value hotel. The rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Use the free high-speed internet to complete all of your work in a flash and then enjoy the many local events. Previously the Crowne Plaza, this property underwent an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation in 2011. The renovation included new Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds. However, the great indoor pool makes this a best value, because you can enjoy the pool and a visit during the off-season, when the prices for rooms are the lowest.

Below are reviews of the city of Belleville, MI from an actual visitor's perspective.
Great location and very quaint town. We spent the majority of our time at EMU for State Swim Meet this weekend!
There's a lot of food options nearby.
Excellent service and friendly staff. My dog and me felt very safe and comfortable.
I've always loved Bellville my children went to school there.
We had our 2024 convention there and it was a nice city. We didn't have much interaction with the people but what we did have everyone was nice.
Close to and easy to access freeway.
Friendly staff. Clean environment.
We were there to visit family and only went to the Metro Park which was nice.
The pool and the big beds were so comfy.
Restaurants and the lake front!!
Small and nice!
Everything is close by.
What's not to like. Small town hospitality with shopping and restaurants on Main Street or just a short drive from town.
Hotel was close to everything.
The town was small and rather quaint, but had a good selection of reasonable restaurants, and it was within a reasonable driving distance from the airport and from some of the attractions in the Detroit area.
