    An unique place to stay with the right mix of service, friendliness, and style

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

    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.

    The food was amazing! And the drinks I had were probably the best Amaretto Sours I’ve ever had anywhere, and I’m hard to impress. The historic building with its firehouse charm is a very unique experience and we will be returning, the room was small but beautifully restored and decorated!

    I asked for towels to be replenished and they lost that request..

    It has a great open lounge. The whole location has character as it used to be a firestation. Our dinner meal was absolutely excellent and would go there just for the food! All staff was helpful and friendly. Valet worked well for our car.

    Great hotel, super unique, good location

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    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 bedroom air-con was like an aircraft engine, really loud! No heating in bathroom! Breakfast is an afterthought for this hotel. The choice was limited and generally disappointing

    Very good location and a wonderful, characterful building. The bar and restaurant are highly recommended with a good atmosphere. The food was excellent.

    There needs to be more countertop space in the bathroom in the hotel room (very limited counter space).

    Overall, really nice hotel, and would recommend to others. Within walking distance of many attractions in Downtown Detroit, as well as many restaurants and bars. Of course, the Apparatus Room (restaurant/bar at the hotel) is outstanding!
