My stay at the Detroit Foundation Hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, allowing easy access to local attractions, but the service left something to be desired. The historical architecture is beautiful, although the room I stayed in had some maintenance issues. Overall, I appreciated the atmosphere but felt the value was lacking.

The facilities were decent, but I was surprised by the lack of complimentary items like bottled water in the room. The room service experience was also chaotic, taking far too long for such a simple order.

I had a fantastic experience at the Detroit Foundation Hotel! The old firehouse charm added a unique character, and I loved how close it was to the Detroit Riverwalk. The staff was incredibly friendly from check-in to check-out, and the atmosphere in the Apparatus Room was lively. Even though my room was a bit pricy for the occasion, the comfort and quality made it worth it. I can't wait to return!

I reserved a King room but ended up in a Queen room without any prior notice. The room itself was comfortable but lacked special touches, and I noticed some maintenance issues in the bathroom.

Service

I encountered some significant service gaps during my stay. The check-in process was not transparent regarding the room reservation issue, and when I raised my concerns, the response felt dismissive. The room service experience was particularly odd, taking over two hours for a simple cookie order.
