Detroit Foundation Hotel

Excellent location, within 15-minute walk to most landmarks. Clean, spacious rooms and modern amenities. Appreciate that it came with slippers! Could've had an outlet next to the bed to charge my phone

We had a lovely experience here! Very unique place with a lot of character. Staff and amenities were top notch!

Great stay!

This is a beautiful hotel Everything from design to spotlessness is top notch. Very friendly staff and delicious food at the restaurant. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous hotel, and fabulous that it is connected to the great dining restaurant The Apparatus room. Overall great location.

Great hotel with a fun historical details. Enjoyed the apparatus room. Great location.

Love this hotel!! Highly recommend booking reservation for the Apparatus Room - food and service was great there too. Bar is awesome!

The historic fire house aspect was noticeable even though the whole place felt fancy and sophisticated. The amenities were well thought out and the beds were comfy. There was no bottled water in the rooms nor a small shop (usually near the lobby) to get small items/snacks/drinks.

The Foundation is a lovely historic hotel in downtown Detroit with modern amenities and beautiful furnishings. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated (with a wonderful cozy robe!), the restaurant/bar is lively and the gym is large with a full range of equipment, including Peloton bikes. I will definitely stay there again!

Exceptional

Very well appointed room. Decor was artsy-modern. Excellent location with places to sit and wait for rideshare vehicles. Unfortunately, I did expect some hospitality touches such as bottled water being provided in the room or a efficient way to have dishes cleared away after room service, for the price point. However, none of that was present or evident. Kitchen of the attached redo closed earlier than expected, even on a holiday Sunday. Overall, lovely stay

Great location. Nice bar and restaurant but poor quality food.

Nice classic hotel. Close to downtown events. Friendly staff. Had an enjoyable stay at the facility.

Not informed that the room wouldn't be cleaned (bed and bath linen changed, bathroom supplies replaced or refilled) during our stay or that bath and other towels would need to be reused--unless we requested these services. No notice in the room to either of these facts. PLUS there is nowhere in the bathroom to hang two sets of damp/wet washcloths, hand towels and bath towels. We were later told that the registration staff should have mentioned these basics when we checked in.

Loved that the history of the building features large in the establishment, making it possible to imagine the firemen and trucks at work while enjoying a fine meal in the cavernous (but not noisy) Apparatus Room restaurant/bar. Little touches left in place like a small hinged window in the hallway and a painting of a fire fighter surrounded by hose and accoutrements on the 3rd floor. Our Foundation King room was airy with tall windows, superb bedding, and the addition of a movable couch and bench offered a great degree of flexibility in seating. Interesting lighting fixtures and a mini fridge filled with a variety of beverages which we removed to use the fridge for our own items. Large walk in shower with a non-slip tiled floor and glorious rain head. The proximity to Hart Plaza is fabulous for Jazz Fest attendees. The Guardian building is not to be missed for architecture enthusiasts. And the Qline on Woodward makes getting to the DIA, library, symphony hall quick and easy! A few suggestions: more storage space. Night tables with drawers or shelves, a desk with a drawer, a storage shelf in the bath and maybe at least one grabbable bar in the shower. There was no coffee maker in the room but the free lobby coffee was delicious; however, it was not available after 11 am. Not having any ice machines was a minor inconvenience. My biggest concern was the lack of security in the elevators. Anyone can walk in and go upstairs unimpeded. Please install key card readers for the protection of your guests.

Ibwas thoroughly impressed with the rehab of a former Fire Station Headquarters! The feeling was unique and nostalgic. I wish they would install a soap r towels racks inside of the shower. I had no place to hold my soap or towel while bathing. I hive the Hotel a 9.5 !

Old building but well maintained. The hotel is just across the street from the Huntington Place. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Complimentary fresh coffee near the main floor elevator, which was nice. Pricey and breakfast is not included. Some weird odor noted at the bathroom sink might be from the drain.

Poor
