Detroit Hotels near Detroit Opera House

Pros: Such a gorgeous hotel. Everything was top notch, from the common areas to the rooms and it seems no expense was spared in creating this breathtaking hotel out of the main Detroit firehouse. The staff was welcoming, helpful and informative about the area. Detroit is a great city and the Foundation hotel is the place to stay.

Cons: The restaurant however was underwhelming. Again, the most amazing space, but our breakfast was just okay. And the coffee game needs to be stepped up.

Pros: Breakfast was good, but it's the ambiance of the Apparatus Room that makes the experience so wonderful. The Restaurant itself is gorgeous and the staff is excellent! From the more than accommodating valets, to Allison at the front desk, to the very friendly and informative bartenders......they all went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

Cons: My husband ordered the English breakfast, and I tried some of it, but definitely not my cup of tea. My omelette was excellent though. The prices are comparable or even cheaper than many downtown hotel restaurant prices. I really have nothing bad to say about this hotel or the restaurant.

Pros: Everything about our stay was perfect. The bed was super comfortable the room was clean and spacious, and the downstairs lobby area was amazing. The bar was probably our favorite part but we definitely decided we want to come here again. Our favorite staff members were Bradley and Bobby And they really made our stay that much more memorable. Love this place!

Pros: Bed was like a cloud. The Navigation House Car was so luxurious! Driver so nice, informative, and willing to take us anywhere! Guest rooms and hallways quiet and so clean. In room snacks locally sourced and reasonably priced. Receptionist all very kind and approachable. Great fitness center with appropriate quality workout gear available. The history and ambiance of this hotel is quite charming. The toiletries in the bathrooms where so nice and very much appreciated.

Cons: Bar closed at 1am, so when we returned from a late night concert we're not able to get a night cap, or light food option. This was disappointing as there wasn't any other place nearby for either as well, due to the location of the hotel

Pros: beds were like a fluff

Cons: neighborhood at night NOT safe

Pros: The hotel is very charming and has great design. The bar is stunning. Some of food and drinks in the restaurant did not meet our expectations, and the staff reacted excellent. Great service

Cons: Due to roadworks at the time of our stay, it was quite noisy outside.

Pros: I really like the staff. Very accommodating and welcoming.

Pros: Restaurant and staff

Cons: Noise is a concern, even in their Junior Suite. Also, they did not disclose construction in front of property.

Pros: I loved the room set up. The bed was extra comfortable, the shower was great, everything was very clean and had an excellent ambience.

Cons: The view from the window wasn't great, and we wished we tried to plug up an Apple TV and it didn't work, so we only really had netflix. More TV options would have been great

Pros: the staff was beyond friendly and the hotels car was very helpful! very unique and trendy.

Pros: The room was very clean

Cons: The restaurant is small but cute, couldn't smell any of the food. Breakfast was a little pricey an Bland

Pros: Slightly steep price but very nice still.

Pros: Everything. The room was clean, the view was great. Rooftop Bar was also outstanding.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Close to Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers). Friendly, helpful staff. Valet service and staff were great. Included breakfast was very good.

Cons: Paid for convenience, but would have seen better AARP/Senior discounts available

Pros: Location

Cons: Air didn’t work in the room and our room was next to a mechanical room so it sounded like a freight train running constantly next door

Pros: I was just glad to be back in the city and see it truly coming together. The streets were clean and people were enjoying their weekend, the way it should be. Such a beautiful location next to the Opera house and Comerica Park. The lobby and common areas of the hotel has that warming and unique old hotel style common of the early 20th century. The rooms themselves were modern in every sense but equally welcoming. I truly enjoyed the experience and would come back if ever in the downtown area again.

Cons: Nothing to do with the Element, but the valet of the adjoining hotel the Siren was very rude. We were in town for a wedding and the bride couldn't drop her car off at the valet. So we drove it around the corner and they refused to do it saying they were about have a large number of paying customers arriving. 5 minutes of arguing ensued and they took the car. I recieved no such issues at the Element. They were professional and expedient. They're worth every penny.

Pros: Kind and friendly staff

Cons: Sound proof wasn’t the best.

Pros: The staff were incredibly and genuinely friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and super comfy. Great location to explore Detroit-we returned to the city after 20 years and were delighted to see it prospering with wide planted sidewalks, parks, night life and restaurants.

Pros: Great room, tons of windows. Be sure to checkout the penthouse restaurant/bar.

Cons: Valet only parking, we didn’t know about it until we paid to park in a different parking lot and walked to the hotel. You basically pull up and park in the middle of a one way street and valet takes it from there.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Everyone was super nice. Morning breakfast hosted by some great people. Made traveling happier and easier.

Pros: Overall nice experience, but the value paid for breakfast with a stay is disproportionate to the quality of food served. May want to avoid the breakfast until the menu is upgraded with better selections.

Cons: There was nothing super special about this hotel for the cost. Everything seems kind of standard. The rooms are clean, but nothing to write home about and the lobby is very plain. I think they are still trying to work out the kinks, as it is a new hotel. I probably would stay somewhere else next time.

Pros: It was clean, comfy and the staff was friendly. Most of all, it was within walking distance to everything that I wanted to do

Pros: I was unable to catch breakfast. However, we got in late and the water bottles and fresh warm cookies hit the spot! The room was clean, the bed was cozy, and the hallways seemed freshly swept/vacuumed. I enjoyed the low lighting of the entire hotel. Great location, and close to affordable parking. I think we found our hotel in Detroit!

Pros: Very nice hotel. Our room was very large which was great as we traveled with two (big) kids. Staff was really nice and accommodating.

Cons: I never understand that when you book a room for four and you arrive with four people that you have to make your own bed in a hotel. And the cleaning staff didn’t make our kids bed. Only ours. The bathroom wasn’t really clean. (Hairs everywhere —> not ours)

Pros: I was impress by workers of hotel..so positive..kind..always with smile..love it!!!

Pros: Everything!

Pros: Very clean. Great staff

Cons: This will seem silly but it is almost impossible to reach the toilet paper from the toilet.

Pros: Location, shuttle service, STAFF particularly the shuttle drivers and ALEXIS at the front desk

Pros: Love the location. The SPACIOUS room setup! We have been staying at this DTS for the past three years where it offers a separate bedroom apart from the sofa bed living room area where me and my husband and our two daughters can stay comfortably at a reasonable pricing. You don't get that from many of the hotels nowadays.

Cons: The daily valet parking charge.

Pros: Downtown, welcoming staff

Cons: Rundown, in need of renovation, broken shower head

Pros: The staff was professional and friendly. Cookie was good and a nice touch. Lobby was nice but a bit confusing. Location was great. I had better expectations for the room. It really didn't have that look. Just average. best western style.. wish it had a po

Cons: Room didn't give an inviting allure. Just average.

Pros: Staff was nice shower felt wonderful!

Cons: Advertising city view no view fro t desk states no room had a view our original room had been giving away 1st room was dirty and 2nd room had dog hair in it. Very disappointed

Pros: Great location downtown, very clean rooms, very friendly staff

Cons: No vending machines on our floor, no late night room service options

Pros: We had a basic king size bed room, and it is very large. The bed was very comfortable. It is located a few blocks from COBO center and only 1 block from the people mover,

Cons: Parking was $35/day

Pros: It was amazing. The valet upon checking out was the only staff member we passed in corridor that didnt greet us. Also when we walked out to get the car we had to ask him.

Pros: Love staying at the Westin for Tigers games.

Pros: the room is spacious, the beds are very comfortable, the staff is by far the best.

Cons: nothing at all

Pros: Large room

Cons: No microwaves travelling with children you need access to One

Pros: Beautiful historic building inside and out. Modern decor. Immaculately clean room. Professional staff. Great restaurants and amenities. Great location downtown almost walkable to anything.

Cons: The room service breakfast is very expensive. Otherwise no issues at all.

Pros: All over great! Very convenient to places we were going.

Cons: All good

Pros: the comfortable beds. large bathrooms. and the staff is by far the BEST!!

Pros: Beautiful to look at and so perfectly located downtown. The staff was friendly and efficient. There is nothing I would change...

Cons: nope.. it was perfect

Pros: My wife and I were in downtown Detroit for a date night. After a Lions game and a lovely dinner, we went back to our room and decided that we needed dessert. We called room service, ordered a couple of things and asked for a couple of Cokes. We were informed that they had Pepsi so we said that we would stick with water. They said that they would find us Coke and they did! It's wasn't a life changing moment, but in a time where customer service is lacking in so many areas of our daily lives, that was AMAZING!!!!!!! We appreciated the thoughtfulness very much.

Cons: Parking was too Expensive.

Pros: Staff were very polite, when entering or walking out, staff were ready to open the door for me. Restaurant, reception desk, main entrance, cleaning crew; with a smile. Great!!!!

Cons: High rates

Pros: The decor was beautiful. The customer service was fabulous and making fresh waffles for each customer was so thoughtful. It was just a beautiful set up The rooms were not only decorated wonderfully but it was clean and comfortable, slept like a baby. Very romantically set up. Each room on the main floor was unique it had little surprises in each room, with the decor and board games. Like it wasn’t set up like a big chain hotel where everything looks the same. It was a very quaint and vintage experience, felt like we stepped back in time. We need this traditional, vintage experience more in the years to come.

Cons: The toilet in our room made a very loud suction noise every few hours in the middle of the night, that it was startling us in the middle of night. The wifi doesn’t really Reach up on the third floor in our room— we had to go to the main floor.

Pros: Location was perfect! Short walk to Little Caesar's Arena! The breakfast was great, more than enough food.

Cons: Our AC was not working well when we returned to the room in the evening. But the staff member came up right away and worked on a solution. It didn't get immediately cooler but it did improve.

Pros: Breakfast was tasty. Coffee good. Bed comfy.

Cons: The staff, while friendly, is poorly trained and room maintenance and service are very sub-par. Here’s an abreviated chronology explaining my review and why we will never book this property again: Tuesday, September 10 Room thermostat temperature (66 degrees) was too cold. AC control locked because there are only two on the floor for all the rooms!. Staff member unlocked the AC control and raised the thermostat to 68 degrees as we requested. No guest should be at the mercy of a thermostat they cannot set or, worse, a thermostat set to accommodate a guest in another room. Battery died that evening and staff did not know how to change it. The night manager gave us a swamp fan which failed after about an hour of loud chattering noises. The antique armoire is the only place to store clothing, Two outside doors, which had shelving, were wedged shut and there was no skeleton key in the room to open them. Only one hanger in the center section of the armoire. Two of the four bulbs in the lighting fixture over the sink in the bathroom were burned out. One bedside lamp was unusable because the cord was not long enough to reach the nearest outlet, which is behind the bed. The filter in bathroom sink tap was partially clogged, so water sprayed in all directions. Wednesday, September 11 Was asked(!) if we wanted to have our room serviced when we went out in the morning. When we returned in the afternoon, we found that our bed had been made, but all our dirty towels were still on the floor of the bathroom with no replacementst. We then called down to the Front Desk and a staffer brought us bath towels, but didn’t bring a bath mat, hand towels or wash cloths. Subsequently, my spouse went downstairs to get the staffer to get us the missing items. The responsibility for this sad state of affairs in what should be a magnificent property is clearly on the shoulders of the owners and management company. They should be embarrassed

Pros: It was very close to the venue we went to

Cons: We stayed on the third floor and it was hot and we couldn’t control the temperature

Pros: The aesthetic and the location

Cons: The beds were not comfortable at all. There are no hooks or any way to hang anything in the room.

Pros: It was across the street from Little Caesar’s Arena.

Cons: I would have liked more light in the bathroom for doing my makeup.

Pros: So beautiful! The room was wonderful, loved the bathroom. Easy to find, location is outstanding. Staff were great.

Cons: Only complaint would be breakfast. Not sure if we just had bad luck with the other guests beating us to the “good stuff”, but it was rather lackluster. Wouldn’t deter us from returning though!

Pros: A terrific step back in time to high Victorian chic

Pros: Beautiful property and great location for great food, sporting events and The Fox Theatre.

Cons: Really nothing.

Pros: I liked how close it was to the stadiums and restaurants. My boyfriend and I just walked everywhere. Nothing more than a 15min walk so it was nice to get out and about. We also had a concert at the Little Cesar which was just across the street. We had the room with the loft so we got to look out at the city view which was beautiful.

Cons: The open parking to non-residents which caused a HUGE traffic jam in valet. Maybe this isn't a common thing and was only for the events going on at all stadiums?? Since so many people were going in and out of the parking, someone who was staying at the hotel got their car broken into and got something very valuable to them stolen. It would be best to close off just to residents staying at the hotel since it's a close gated parking lot.

Cons: The bed was very uncomfortable.

Pros: Staff and courtyard

Pros: I like the location and the amenities such as the presence of a restaurant on spot.

Cons: Netflix was not available on the TV and they don't have Microsoft Office at their business center. Otherwise everything was great and the staff is very helpful.

Pros: Everything, staff was great and location was just on the edge of downtown.

Cons: Room a bit small, but perfect this time as travelling alone.

Pros: We let the staff know that it was our 3-year wedding anniversary and they upgraded our room to a king with the bathtub for free. We definitely felt relaxed and wished we stayed longer than one night. We were walking distance to downtown, but they also had bike rentals on property if we wanted to use them around town. The decor celebrates Detroit and so it was nice to see a business reflect the city and people of Detroit. We also wished we stayed for breakfast and had a late night drink at the bar. Also, walking distance to an awesome brewery across the way. Friendly and accommodating staff. We look forward to coming back to Trumbull and Porter hotel!

Cons: There wasn't really anything we did not like. It's something minor, but we wished the windows had another layer of blinds to block out the sun and people from seeing in.

Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, answering all our many questions. The dinner at the restaurant was fantastic, and the pleasant service was amazing!

Cons: A little closet or drawer space would have been nice.

Pros: Loved everything. From the design to the room.

Cons: How the room was not as clean as I hoped. I kept stepping on something like crumbs. Admittedly we are in the room but you had think housekeeping would sweep or something everyday

Pros: Location and courtyard.

Cons: Room was not clean. There were cockroaches on our patio trying to get in our room. Water was warm, but not hot. Safe was broken when we checked in. Beds were not made after first night of stay. No courtyard movie as promised on the web.

Pros: Bar

Cons: Size of room

Pros: Great staff! Everyone was very friendly and helpful!!

Cons: Cost was high and even had to pay to park.

Pros: Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

Cons: There was an open bar of soap in the shower and the towels had a weird odor to them. Also, all night long we could hear doors slamming. Not sure if it was cleaning staff or other guests. Doors could use a device to make them close slower so they dont slam

Pros: The staff were very helpful and the food was very good. I stayed in the hotel with my daughter on 8th August and I came back on the 13th because of the kind staff, clean room and good food.

Cons: At first I was not sure of the location I thought it was out of the way of down town Detroit. However as I found my way around there was no hassle to get to the hotel. My view want very good but I was always out exploring Detroit.

Cons: This place was nasty!

Pros: Located very close to Joe Louis Arena.

Cons: An older hotel so a bit run down. The neighborhood also didn't seem to be the best.

Pros: Dodgy motel in dodgy area frequented by ladies of the night, not for the inexperienced visitor to Detroit

Cons: Yes,Everything checked out after one night

Pros: Computer at reception for clients, wireless free. Motel in Detroit, do not expect big thing, dont go there with your family.

Cons: Located in a abandoned place of town, does´t look very safe. Just take care if decided to go there.

Pros: Stayed here for the St. Patty's Day parade for the second year in a row. The room is what it is, a room. It served the purpose of a place to crash for the night after partying all day. Only a few blocks from the parade route. The room was clean and the staff were friendly and you can't beat the price.

Pros: The Price

Cons: More than ex Holiday Inn restored, an hotel in disuse

Pros: The pleasant people that run the place
