Exceeding all expectations
Staying at the hotel is not just functional or practical - it becomes part of the experience of being on holiday in Detroit. It is the kind of builing you'd want to visit or wander around in when exploring the city, so being able to stay there overnight as part of a city trip is just fantastic. And as a hotel it is top notch. The corner room I had was massive, with high ceilings, and very luxurious. Given that still larger rooms are available., I suspect it would be a great hotel for a family stay. The room was also very quiet - you see the city but do not hear it at all. Check in and check out were a breeze. It is centrally located and close to public transport, so perfect as a base to explore the city.
Nothing. Breakfast is in the on-premises restaurant and per order, rather than included in the room price.

A beautiful historical building turned into a classy hotel.
It’s very beautiful and the room that we had was beautifully restored. It was close to everything in downtown Detroit.
Nothing, it was perfect.

The location is really nice. The room is spacious and clean.
The staffs are really nice and friendly except for one guy (I don't remember the name now but he's generally wearing suit and a glass). The guy is so unfriendly and not helpful at all. The bed and the pillow are quite uncomfortable. The hotel doesnt even have umbrellas for guests. When you pay that much money for one night, you would expect these small things are there for you.

Clean rooms, great location to all restaurants, shops and rail station.
Breakfast was basic and not to my line and type I like to sit down and have a range to select line buffet
The light switch in the coffee/wash room was. Or seperate to the bed area so you had to turn on all lights when using shower which isn’t practical when somone is sleeping

Beds are very comfortable. The view of the city that we had was amazing. Very quite rooms, never heard any of the other guest. The lobby is one of the best in Detroit.
All Detroit hotels are overpriced and I will say this about any of them I stay in.

Quick trip from Canada
The location was perfect to walk around downtown and get to the Little Caesar's Arena. The hotel lobby is really impressive! Very Art Deco. The staff were really helpful.
There was no hot water in the sink of the bathroom but the shower had hot water. Our reservation was for 3 people but the breakfast only accommodated 2 people.

nice facilities just a couple of items with the room that deterred from a perfect rating
locational way perfect for concert at Fox Theater
our room had a toilet that kept running all night, also with the windows the room got a little cool and would have been great to have a comforter or additional blanket available for the bed

Great location in a fantastic and charming building.
Location was fantastic. Room was nice and contemporary. Great historic building.
No room service option was a little disappointing.
1 August 2022
Would like to go back. The Whitney building is beautiful.
Eating facilities were limited but I think that's due more to the fact that there are so many places to eat around. I can't compliment the staff enough. Everyone was very polite and professional with a good can do attitude.
Nothing I can think of.

Staff was incredible. Extremely helpful and polite
If I had one complaint it would be that the shower was a little lacking in water pressure and the water itself took a very long time to heat up.

A great place to stay when looking for a quality hotel in Detroit.
Its gorgeous. the amount of marble is absolutely amazing! The property is absolutely beautiful.
I don’t have anything negative to say about the property at all. I enjoyed the interactions with all of the staff except for the young lady I saw around 3:00 the day I checked out. She must’ve been having a bad day but other than that the trip was an A+.

The staff makes this place wonderful!
To say we were treated well is an understatement! The Staff @ the Aloft Detroit at The David Whitney is A+! Will, “J” and Sasha in Valet are top notch! they make this Hotel the best place to stay in Detroit. I will always book here just because of those three individuals. Each one of them did small but above and beyond things for me and my 8 yr old son to make us feel so special! Bravo Aloft for having such great customer services throughout your amazing hotel staff! We randomly selected you here on Booking not knowing what to expect and because of those 3 individuals we will always stay with you.
absolutely loved everything
