Foundation Hotel, Detroit

Nothing

I arrived at midnight with a confirmed booking to be told that hotel would not accept the booking.com confirmation. Unbelievable. Never had this happen own before. Beyond unacceptable

Cool atmosphere, loved that the space was once a firehouse and was repurposed to be a hotel. Coffee in the morning was appreciated. The front desk staff was very friendly and gave us good information.

The light fixtures next to the bed were set very high on the wall and could not be reached from bed to turn them off, we had to get out of bed to do that - it was a little annoying, not a deal breaker though.

The breakfast was ok.

The dinner prices were a little pricey. The food was not that appealing.

Everything. I have stayed here about 5 times now. I love staying at this hotel, it’s very unique and different than every other hotel.

Can’t complain about anything. Everything is great

Staff were relaxed and approachable. Unusual design and decor - definitely something different. Surprisingly quiet location at night, but within easy reach of downtown and transport options. Also plenty to enjoy in the Apparatus Room restaurant and bar area.

Lobby area and main entrance is a bit basic, but consistent with the unusual vibe of this place. Don't go expecting a standard Marriott/Hilton type experience!

Nicely appointed and very comfortable.

TV didn’t work.

A beautiful hotel with a wonderful atmosphere. The restaurant is great and it’s always welcoming.

My only issues were the pillows and no room maintenance. My wife and I found the pillows to be very uncomfortable and we spent 3 nights there with no room maintenance. We had to call front desk just to get some clean towels.

The hotel is beautifully decorated, the bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds and excellent toiletries. Restaurant staff are excellent.

How well this historic building was put together to create a beautifully modern hotel.

We were told we couldn’t sit in the lounge/restaurant area although there weren’t many people there. It was snowing, we loved the view. It would’ve been nice to have somewhere to just lounge around.

Nice hot shower. Close to the convention center.

Beautiful 2017 reimagination of old firehouse. We had call 3Xs to another hotel, which had a block of rooms for the wedding we traveled for. Glad we found the Foundation. Easy check in, and out. Very good fitness room.. Thank you.

Thought about $50 over priced.

Beautiful renovation and very comfortable

It’s not your average hotel, it’s different and I love that. Super great lay out and everything

Waiting for the day you guys give me one of those hoodie robes for free!! LOL , I’ve been there 3 or 4 times so far

Location! Loved ambiance of bar and restaurant

Modern hotel with striking design and a great restaurant, set inside a charming old firehouse building. Excellent service and a beautifully decorated lobby for the holidays. Musicians playing live added a warm, memorable atmosphere. Our second visit, and we’d gladly return.

I remember from our first visit the tables showcasing old newspapers, photos, and memorabilia under glass. I miss that design detail, it brought so much character to the space and made the building’s history feel even more present.

The atmosphere of the lounge and restaurant are top notch. The cocktails were delicious and perfect for a nightcap.

Nothing, all was as expected.

Property was clean and beautiful.

There was a slight sewer smell in my room. Not terrible but noticeable.

This hotel was a great boutique size, it wasn't too large and it had a very cool style. My son had a health issue while we were there and the staff were all really supportive and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Valet was a little slow to get your vehicle, especially in the morning. I wouldn't mind seeing more security features in the elevator to tap the room key in order to go up to the rooms.

Beautiful room.

Overpriced

Everything was great

No ice machine , no kitchen area . No view in my room but we saw the bees

Convenient to cobo
Ambiance
Very nice

The fitness facility is my favorite. The location you restaurants and freeway too.

Restaurant being remodeled

The Staff was pleasant and super helpful. We ate a late dinner at the bar in the lobby the first night and was surprised at the elevated menu. The food was good and service was excellent. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The building is interesting. The location was great for going to the Ford Field.

This room was pricy for what we got. I would note that we were there for a Lions football game and the rate was likely elevated due to this event. Otherwise, it was a good stay and would visit again.

Very cool hotel in the heart of downtown Detroit. Walkable to Ford Field/Comerica Park. Former Fire Station with super cool lobby and excellent restaurant and funky/cool/comfortable rooms. Great experience and would very happily stay again.

Had some noisy neighbors one night, but knocked on the door and asked them to chill out--they did.

aesthetics. design. restaurant and lobby.

valet parking was rather expensive compared to competitors.

Excellent

Nothing

Elegance of the building/decoration, location close to the public transit, quality of the staff

Nothing

It was very unusual and centrally located

The fact that unknown to us if you wanted your room serviced …ie clean towels or anything inside the room you had to request it or nothing was done…

Location, design and service outstanding! Hotel bar/restaurant was exceptional.

Renovated old fire station, now a boutique hotel with an excellent restaurant and bar on site. Great central location, with easy to the monorail. Friendly staff

Location is excellent with everything you need within walking distance.staff was all friendly and courteous. Rooms and common areas are unique unlike a chain with a story and a beauty all their own. Restaurant bar was a destination all its own with good food, decor, and great staff as well.

Not a cheap place to stay, but even so, it was a great value.

We did not stay for breakfast. We left very early for an appointment and the manager eagerly went to get us some freshly made coffee to go. The restaurant had a nice bar and we we able to go for drinks the evening that we checked in and we enjoyed their cocktail menu.

It was a lovely hotel and seemed newly renovated. The in-house restaurant was a little pricey.
