- Camille (10/5): -
- andrew (8/5): - Staff all very helpful and cheery. Headboard vibrates when end corridor door slams.
- Gowing (10/5): We had a fantastic weekend and the hotel was part of this happiness. - The room, the location and the atmosphere were perfect. The menu was limited.
- Oksana (8/5): -
- Tracy (10/5): Best place to stay ever - Jordan and staff was exceptional with anything you needed. Very knowledgeable about the city, helping you to get around he made it very easy. I will book this hotel every time! There is nothing that I didn't like. Did detroit foundation is doing it right.
- E1914MAadamm (10/5): Family Weekend Getaway - Foundation Hotel is a must in downtown Detroit. The building is rich with history and character. The accommodations and food & beverage program are excellent. Highly recommend.
- Heather (9/5): Great hotel, lovely staff, a real gem - Great location, nice restaurant, comfortable bed, finally a shower that you operate from the opposite side so you don’t have to stand in cold water! Uncared for areas near lifts on guest floors
- Sean (8/5): -
- Marna (10/5): -
- EKATERINA (10/5): - Очень понравился отель, расположен в старом здании пожарной части, очень аутентично, современно, интересно, завтраки отличные по меню, два раза ужинали в отеле , тоже вкусно, живая музыка была в выходной день
- Clisham (10/5): - Pretty much flawless. Had zero issues hotel related. Will be staying again in the future.
- Selita (10/5): - The atmosphere, the location, friendliness of staff, the cleanliness. It surpassed my expectations!
- Jonathan (9/5): -
- P69ROsarahf (10/5): Comfortable, welcoming, and stylish experience. - What a great hotel, they have done a really nice job preserving historic elements and incorporating modern touches that enhance the experience. It was a really comfortable home-away-from home. The rooms are more spacious then they appear in the photos. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and kind. The Apparatus Room has great food.
- Tamala (10/5): -
- Montico (8/5): -
- Louis (9/5): -
- Marie (9/5): Lovely stay, excellent location, the bar was gorgeous and the staff were absolutely wonderful. - The quality of breakfast was good. The yogurt parfait was excellent. Our sink had no hot water, but the staff were very professional and accommodating. The room and the bed were exceptional.
- dorothysH9066WT (10/5): Best night ever - The valley was a little confusing but I’m from the country and not use to the city life but our stay was absolutely amazing and a short walk to downtown
- Terri (8/5): - No coffee pot in room
- Khadja (9/5): Beautiful room, great location! - Location is wonderful, I love it. So close to everything I want to do in downtown Detroit. I think the price is a bit much, but for the location and ease of access, it made up for the cost of the room.
- carlosjT181CL (10/5): From Firehouse to Refined Stay — A Great Detroit Location - The Foundation Hotel is an excellent choice, especially given its location directly across from Huntington Place. The property is very well managed, with a team that is consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They create a relaxed atmosphere within a setting that feels sophisticated yet understated — “low-key” is absolutely the right word here. The overall value for money is outstanding. All meals are served in the spacious lobby bar and restaurant, which functions as a comfortable and versatile social space throughout the day. A highly recommended stay in Detroit.
- Carlos (10/5): Excelente ubicación y ambiente único en Detroit - Ubicación: Excelente. El hotel está ubicado frente a Huntington Place, lo que lo hace ideal para quienes asisten a congresos o eventos. Además, permite moverse fácilmente a pie por el centro de Detroit. Desayuno: Muy bueno. Si bien no es un desayuno buffet tradicional, la calidad de los productos es excelente y está bien presentado. Se sirve en el lobby bar/restaurante, un espacio amplio, cómodo y con muy buen ambiente. Comentarios adicionales: El hotel funciona en un antiguo cuartel de bomberos, lo que le da un carácter único. Está muy bien gerenciado, con un equipo cordial y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. El ambiente es sofisticado pero relajado, sin excesos. Muy buena relación precio-calidad. Sin dudas, una opción altamente recomendable en Detroit.
- Adrienne (10/5): Thanks for another great stay and restaurant/cocktail visit in this gorgeous building - Beautifully restored, understated, great bar and lounge, good big clean rooms, great location amongst art deco buildings Pricey splurge
- Angela (8/5): Unique artsy comfortable stay walking distance to Stadiums - Unique property just on the edge of the chaos of closer to the stadiums. However still great walking distance. Stay was great! Only a suggestion to add direction signs for room locations when you get off the elevator. Would be helpful for initial finding your room.
- BenjaminK261 (8/5): Really nice hotel - The checkin was already really friendly and quick. The room was nice and clean. The windows were really dirty which was a small downside. The location is great as well.
- Julie (10/5): Perfection! - The staff were the stars! All friendly, professional and they made us feel so welcome! Our room was beautiful! The attention to detail was superb! Definitely will stay here again! Not one thing comes to mind.
- JuliePL19 (10/5): Great hotel - The building is really unique and in a great area. It is about a 20 minute walk to Comerica Park, which was not bad and the neighborhood was safe. It is just about two blocks away from the waterfront area and parks and a couple of blocks away from Woodard Ave. which is a fun area with a lot of shops, bars and restaurants. The lounge, bar and restaurant area of the hotel is just spectacular and was a highlight of our stay. This is a great hotel. Do not hesitate to book your stay there.
- Britany (10/5): Amazing - I loved everything it was amazing Parking
- Lisa (10/5): -
- Jacob (9/5): -
- Rafael (10/5): Perfect in every way. - Place was amazing. Valet, front desk, even house keeping. Location was perfect. Room was awesome.

- Barmag (10/5): Definitive in Detroit - Very happy with our choice of hotel in Detroit. This is something unusual and a bit different. We were very comfortable in our spacious room, the bed was excellent and it was very quiet at night. Decor is rather shabby-chique - but it works. Staff are approachable and friendly. Housekeeping was offered on request only - which suited us fine. The restaurant and bar area was generally very busy, but we enjoyed dinner and a Sunday brunch. Location is close the convention center and public transportation, such as the People Mover or the QLine, and worked fine for us as first time visitors to the city. Don't hesitate if you're looking for something more distinctive that your average Marriott or Hilton - recommended!
- James (9/5): This hotel is impressive, especially the high level of customer service. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. - Convenient downtown location, (across the street from the convention center), well-trained, customer-focused staff members who actually seemed to care about providing a high-level of service to their guests, sophisticated architecture and decor, and a darn good restaurant on site. $45 a night to valet park seemed high for the Big D, but it is what it is.
- Ortiz (5/5): - It was close to the convention center. Bar staff were the absolute best. I don’t drink so I went for a mocktail which was delicious. Michael, Sean, and another gentleman were incredibly friendly and kind, and they made us feel welcome. The guy who managed the restaurant was always curt, unfriendly, and seemed really stressed all the time. The room was lackluster and felt a bit dated - the decor would’ve been cool 5 years ago. Also, I put on the robe in my room to try it on and found half a pack of lucky strikes and a lighter, which says to me that those robes aren’t checked, cleaned, or changed out. For the price point, I had higher expectations.
- maureen (9/5): I would definitely stay again - Beautiful building. some silly things, no ice bucket. No ice on the floor,
- lauriesL3678VK (10/5): Wonderful, and in this day and time, EXCEPTIONAL! - Absolutely amazing hotel, with thoughtful touches and exceptional service from the moment you walk in the door. Quiet! We slept great, ate wonderful food, and drank amazing drinks. The staff, from the restaurant to the front desk to the cleaning staff, were friendly and conscientious. And kudos to the cleaning staff, because every inch of the hotel is spotless!
- Paul (7/5): -
- Kimberly (9/5): -
- Jennifer (9/5): We would stay again. - 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.
- V9454UKlisas (10/5): An Oh So Very Cool Place to Stay - This was my second stay at the hotel. Cool vibe, nice rooms, delicious food, fab staff. I would definitely stay here again.
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Loretta (8/5): The staff was very accommodating. - The breakfast was ok. The dinner prices were a little pricey. The food was not that appealing.
- Brendon (10/5): I would stay here every weekend if I needed to - 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
- Barry (9/5): The Foundation for an enjoyable stay in Detroit... - 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!
- g0nzalesmichy (10/5): St Paddy’s Day Stay - This is my second time staying at the Foundation Hotel and all I can say is I Love This Hotel . My Hubby and I can to Detroit for the St. Paddy’s Day Parade in Corktown . And the only hotel we wanted to stay at was the Foundation your room was great and the services is top notch . A shout out to Jordan at the front desk and Devin at the bar.
- K981RHmarct (10/5): Great Stay, Great Ambiance & Service - Recently stayed at the Detroit Foundation Hotel. Front desk staff was very kind and helpful. Room was comfortable and had historic character. Food/drinks at the Apparatus Room were outstanding, as was the very personal service from the bartenders. I was there on a Thursday night, and the live jazz music added a nice touch to the already lovely ambiance.
- Sheila (8/5): Very nice stay in Detroit - Nicely appointed and very comfortable. TV didn’t work.
- Brianna (9/5): -
- 362lanayel (10/5): Cool spot - Really cool to convert a fire station into a hotel. I enjoyed all the decor around the hotel. The restaurant was fun, vibrant and food was delicious. Our hotel room was spacious, clean and again beautifully curated.
- J1803HXlaurap (8/5): Mostly good. - Nice hotel. Great service.Good location. Don’t get a room on street side by convention center. Very noisy. Otherwise it was an overall positive experience.
- andysira4567 (6/5): Boutique Hotel/Restaurant we really want to LOVE, but can't. Great Food, Just a Good Room, Staff needs help. - Servers at the restaurant were a complete disappointment, AGAIN. Paying a premium for a boutique hotel stay, with an award winning restaurant is only enjoyable when the staff acts in a manner that is similar. For an extended 5 day stay, I spent over $800 in the restaurant, and every server interaction except one bartender and one dinner server was insane and sometimes extremely awkward. No urgency, no awareness of how a table may be fairing with drinks, refills, and food orders. One server in particular over a $300 dinner acted like we inconvenienced her for every request. Many brunches, with 3-6 people in the restaurant took 7 minutes to get a simple coffee. And forget getting a refill without having to wave someone down EVERY time. The food is excellent, and the ONLY reason I continued to eat there. Management should be appalled, even in the era where it is hard to find good work, it is a failure. We are both business owners and would be embarrassed at the way the serving staff is directed and/or expected to perform by leadership. There are many more places in Detroit now to receive a premium experience and the Foundation is seemingly falling behind. During check in, the male with the beard was extremely outgoing and friendly to the cure girl in front of me, having alot of small talk and laughs during check in. With us, no demeanor at all, no welcome, no friendly banter. Here's your key, elevator is through the door. I could care less, but again, an obvious change in personality based on the guest is not a 4 or 5 star experience at any location we have stayed throughout the world. Housekeeping, and room service staff were good, the cleaners cleaned well, valet served us well, but the omission of deciding to charge more for a pickup truck to the tune of $25 per night more is in bad taste. Have it listed, or posted if you are going to upcharge, Again, this is typical in greasy valet served areas, and not expected at a higher end hotel. There is good and bad at this hotel.. set expectations and maybe you will enjoy it more.
- carl (10/5): -
- michael (9/5): We have come here once a year for many years and I’m sure we will be back - 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.
- Kristen (8/5): -
- Georgea (9/5): Short comfortable visit - The hotel is beautifully decorated, the bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds and excellent toiletries. Restaurant staff are excellent.
- Helen (9/5): -
- Stavona (8/5): Well manicured comfort. - 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.
- Mauriccia (9/5): Great location. Like the decor. - Nice hot shower. Close to the convention center.
- Edward (9/5): A cut above - 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.
- 832kristinev (10/5): The Only Place to Stay when in Detroit! - This stay was a definite splurge while in town for a tournament at the Huntington Center. The Vibe in this hotel is amazing. Everyone we interacted with was so nice and genuine. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and the building is modern while keeping the charm of the old fire house. Easy walk to Woodward with many dining options. Directly across the street from Huntington Center, Valet Parking. Beautiful restaurant and lounge on the main floor. 1000/10 recommend
- kellymB20NR (10/5): Historical Ambience - Beautiful Historical hotel with fine food and drinks at the Apparatus Room. Located in Midtown Detroit, The Foundation hotel offers an exquisite, creative space to experience Detroit at its finest. Combining industrial decor with historical and chic elements you will experience Detroit both in the past and in the future. A must see in Detroit
- Voyager63864819224 (10/5): Top notch experience! - Valet parking was very prompt and courteous. Checking in was very welcoming. The history and the pieces of the building were impressive. The room was very restful, the bed was extremely comfortable and the ambiance very peaceful.
- Brendon (10/5): Excellent, and I will be back - 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
- Adrianguy (8/5): Two nights at the Detroit Foundation Hotel - Outstanding location, especially if you have business at Huntington Ctr. Also just a few block from the Q-Line and the People Mover. Staff were all efficient, friendly and professional. Appreciated the Apparatus Room Restaurant and Bar. Efficient, friendly service. Will stay again
- Susan (7/5): Loved the location and it being an old fire station was definitely a new experience - The old firehouse being turned into a hotel and was super close to the river Our room was very dusty and the couch had not been vacuumed or cleaned. The floor had dirt and dust bunnies
- E1069UVjenniferw (10/5): Fantastic stay! - Beautiful hotel with lots of history!! It was unique and has so much charm and the renovation preserved so many of the historical details. As a Realtor, I really appreciate this kind of architecture!

- Jordan (10/5): -
- Booth44a (10/5): Can't wait to return - We went for New Year's Eve. Great restaurant onsite. The hotel has a lot of charm and character. Ideal location in the heart of downtown, which is experiencing a true renaissance.
- Patrick (8/5): -
- Cornelia (9/5): Hotel in altem Feuerwehrhaus - Tolle Location in einem alten Feuerwehrhaus; geräumige Zimmer mit begehbarer Dusche. Wir waren über Silvester dort, es war ok, aber den hohen Preis nicht wert.
- Christina (10/5): Great location! Spacious rooms - Location! Loved ambiance of bar and restaurant
- Deborah (7/5): - The Frette towels and LaLabo amenities were terrific. Room size was generous. Decor throughout the hotel was almosssttt there. Some areas were filled with character of the historic building but the hallways felt vacant and sterile. Robes are a great match to the hotel vibe. Reception staff wasn't as welcoming as I expected. They were professional and kind - just a bit reticent it seemed, to welcome and be confident in the great space they offer. No coffee or hot water maker in the room.
- Z4884CVchadh (10/5): A+++ All the way - The hotel is very cool. It's an old, abandoned firehouse that was renovated into a hotel. Rooms are very nice and spacious. Staff was great and location is very convenient. Restaurant within the hotel was also great. I would stay again.
- Stephrok (10/5): Unique design and great service - I’m glad my flight was delayed flying through Detroit, because it gave me a chance to check out this hotel, which is a design gem. Service was perfect. Sleep was comfortable. I appreciated the location.
- Daniel (8/5): - Very friendly staff Doors slamming late night
- Silviya (10/5): A place with character - 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.
- LouAnne (10/5): - The bar did not have a tv
- Mark (10/5): -
- Brad (10/5): - Great location, clean property. All parking is same price near hotel so might as well valet.
- Richard (7/5): The hotel and restaurant are fantastic. - Exceptionally clean. Great staff. Great location The mattress was well past its prime and should be updated
- leahb801 (10/5): Make this your first choice - Top notch property. Great bar. We are repeat guests and always have stellar service. One of our fav properties in Detroit
- stephenhP593TV (10/5): Downtown Gem. - Great building to spend time in; the team delivered great service, so much so that I am committing to taking my wife there for date night!

- Igor (10/5): -
- P3249FUjasonf (10/5): Love this hotel! - This hotel is in the perfect location for walking to Ford Field. Our room was very nice and quiet. We had a cocktail, dinner, and breakfast in the onsite restaurant. Amazing food!
- 37janinec (10/5): Birthday Gift to myself - It was our first experience and a birthday gift to myself. I love the Apparatus Room restaurant and have always wanted to stay at the Hotel. It was everything I hoped for, even down to the robe in the room. The huge bath towels were a fun bonus also. The room was inviting and modern, bed was comfy and we slept wonderfully, without any intrusive "hotel" sounds that you sometimes get in other hotels.
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Excursion41934852770 (10/5): Beautiful balance of historical charm and modern comfort - A beautiful hotel! In an old fire house, it has a lovely balance of the original charm and modern comfort. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the room was impeccably clean and comfortable. Located in downtown Detroit, only a five-minute walk from the convention center (which was great since I was attending a conference), with a number of food options within walking distance. The restaurant and bar in the hotel are beautiful, and the food was fantastic (we had lunch- excellent Caesar salad and shakshuka).

- E6595VXnicholasl (10/5): Detroit Foundation Hotel | The Place to Stay When Visiting Detroit. - Boutique hotel in the heart of Detroit that is centrally located and approximate to all that downtown Detroit has to offer. The Appratius Room Room (hotel bar & restaurant) was excellent. Craft cocktails, appointed plates and a unique and inviting atmosphere. Wonderful experience all around. We will be back!
- Gloria (6/5): - They use LE LABO products and Frette towels, jumbo flat screen tv...other than that...typical room. For the price, you still have to REQUEST to have your room clean. Paying premium rates, shouldn't have to do that. Can't beat the location though...if you are planning on doing anything near downtown Detroit.
