Foundation Hotel, Detroit

Very close to Huntington place conference venue

We were checking out around 5 am in the morning with an infant on the stroller and multiple luggages, leaving us with no extra hands. There was no doorman and when we asked the front desk staff if she could help us, she basically just told us to push ourselves out. Awfully rude. Not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel.

Room was very nice and clean, very comfortable bed.

Outside noise, for the money I'd rather not hear every bus that drives by. Restaurant was closed, make shift bar area was underwhelming and had very little seating. We had to take our drinks back to our room.

Nice bar and restaurant area. Great location.

Very basic hotel room. Terrible carpet. No coffee in room. No robes. No shower caps. They did comp our parking when I complained about lack of accessories.

the coffee

The room was spare, no amenities, no coffee. the bed was tired and the sheets seemed wrinkled. the room lighting was horrible, either dark or 1 glaring light. It's one of those hotels where the investment in the common areas is not echoed in the rooms.

Location is good. Bar area very cool.

Way over priced for a 4-5 star hotel. No coffee, housecoats or even shower cap in room. Bed was not great. Apparently they are refurbishing next year

Location.

Room was very noisy.

Nothing

Loud, restaurant / bar unavailable. Loud wedding DJ made sleeping difficult

We like the whole boutique hotel and restaurant.

Broken mirror in bathroom. Loose toilet paper roll holder. Elevator handle broken and not fixed. After party outside Apparatus room after closing.

Location

Our room was dirty and smelled like weed

Beautiful building and the Apparatus Room, size of the rooms, and equipment were all good. A very nice style.

Unfortunately, the fridge in the room was very loud and bright (perhaps my perception), and also the noises from the outside nightlife (perhaps sound isolations could be better) made it difficult to fall asleep for me. Also, I think some bigger people (weight) can have difficulties getting into the shower due to the way the door opens inside, however, I do not know if this is the case for all rooms.

we couldn’t sleep at night, a lot of noises!!

the architecture, old character as well as the memoirs from the previous fire department. really made this place stand out. staff was so very kind, best experience I’ve had in a hotel.

convenient location. Good restaurant bar open from 6am - Midnight

clean, stylish rooms in central location

they seriously need to work on their customer service. I ordered a cookie from room service, and after 2 hours it had not shown up. no communication from the hotel. I went to bed. next thing I know, my cookie ($14) is being delivered to me, complete with multiple knocks on the door and a telephone call to my room. I was exhausted from a multi-state business trip and just wanted to sleep, and could barely find clothes in which to answer the door. person delivering cookie just stood there awkwardly. do you still want the cookie? I had no idea a cookie would take hours to appear, in which case I would not have ordered. one of the most bizarre and confounding experiences I’ve had in a hotel ever.

decor

shower head not very effective

Location: Walking distance to many sights. Architecture: It used to be an old Firefighters headquarters. Service: Friendly & accommodating

N/A

The location was perfect. The hotel is super cool. It is a converted fire station and so it looks super unique. The rooms are modern and clean.

The only thing I did not enjoy was my breakfast. But generally I did not have great food in Detroit and I ate at a fancy restaurant. So maybe its just not a foody kind of place?

Service, interior design, comfortable beds, unique interior spaces

A little too much zoning in the Apparatus (adjoining restaurant/lounge); would have wanted to enjoy a cup of coffee in their lounge side but staff was hesitant to seat me because bar wasn't set up. They were nice about it and I liked eating on the restaurant side but was a little confused.

It is a very interesting property, with a great story. the accommodations were exceptional; amazing decor. Staff was pleasant

I liked everything about it; there was nothing that we didn’t like

The hotel is brand new and clean. The hotel staff were friendly and supportive.

The windows aren't soundproof, so it is really noisy. My room was above an air vent and it was really hard to sleep at night

stayed here once before and loved the room and bar.

we were not told there would be zero access to the dining and bar because it was closed for a private party from 11am-midnight.

Fantastic central location in a beautiful building, with friendly and helpful staff. Lovely immaculate room. I would happily stay here on my next visit, although perhaps specifying a room away from Washington Blvd as it's very noisy.

The windows didn't adequately isolate the room from the road noise on Washington Blvd, so earplugs were necessary.

I enjoyed everything about my stay. I wish I would have booked with you my 1st 3 days in Detroit. Felt like home with a nostalgic kick.

Website showed a pool table and then when we got there it turned out it was in a private room.

Great location in a historic building downtown Detroit.

The staff was not supportive, waiting time in restaurant for breakfast over 30 mins. Then for the check another 30 mins.

cocktails, room, apparatus room

staff, bed, taxes are way too much

Nice decor and nice staff, rooms are very comfy.

We heard everything going on in the hallway too clear.

Very nice hotel with a great staff!! Hotel was very clean and in a great location. First time in Detroit and truly enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area. The firefighter memorabilia was awesome!!
