Detroit Foundation Hotel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
