    Love the Shinola clock on the nightstand
    Chris Z.

    We decided to spend the night at the Shinola hotel for a night and enjoy downtown. It was a great experience! Valet and check in were fine, even though it was super busy with weddings that weekend. There was an issue with the computer at check in. But shout out to Hannah, our front desk agent, who was super friendly, walked us up to our room, went back and got everything fixed, and all at minimal inconvenience to us. She was great! The room was really great! We loved the styling and architecture. We really appreciated the Bluetooth speaker setup, it was easy to set up some music and accentuate the vibes. Even though we didn't take much advantage of the amenities in the hotel, there's tons to do. We did take advantage of the room service to order in for breakfast, and it was fast, the food was hot, and the person delivering it was nice and professional. The hotel location is amazing. You can stay here and basically walk to everything worth checking out in less than 10 minutes. The room rate is pricey but it was worth it. Overall a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    I had a great stay at the hotel. The valet parking is kind of steep at $50 per night but overall good experience. I stayed due to going to an comedy event at the Fox. I was checked in quickly and even given champagne. The hotel is right in the heart of downtown on Woodward. There are plenty of shops and restaurants near by. The rooms are spacious with a mini bar and includes a couch and table area. I was able to hear others above me walking around which I did not like but overall quiet. The bed was also comfortable. I would stay here again.

    I have always wanted to stay at Shinola Hotel, however, couldn't really justify the cost. Luckily I was able to stay with an Amex FHR credit. The credit doesn't work for valet, so I found a paid lot two blocks away for $24 for 24 hours (valet was $50!). Upon check-in we were given a glass of champagne, a room upgrade, and our credits were thoroughly explained. Service was amazing and the rooms were beautiful. The only issue we encountered was there was a small issue withe room service (breakfast), but we were comped.

    Wonderful stay! This place is a diamond in the rough. We were greeted upon entry with two glasses of champagne. The staff were wonderful and welcoming! I will say once we got off the elevator, finding the room was a little confusing (there's lots of twist and turns), but once you got it, you'll be fine. The room we had was jaw dropping! Spotless! Neat! Scenic! Cozy! We even had a fireplace! Maintenance had to come turn it on, but that didn't take long at all. I've never stayed at a hotel that had TWO bathrooms in ONE reserved room! My goodness, who's genius idea was this!? And the ginormous shower and soaking tub! It was perfect! I could've stayed there a whole week!

    The hotel is beautiful, they put thought into the design and quality of materials that you don't see in many of the newer hotels. The staff were friendly and helpful. The entire hotel, including my room, was very clean.

    The great view of downtown Woodward avenue.

    I love the rooms and the customer service. I cannot begin to cover everything I enjoyed at the Shinola last weekend but I can say the decor, comfortable bedding and very clean atmosphere, the windows, wall art, vintage themes. The location and view is giving an overall Manhattan feel. I had a fabulous experience while there. The joy continued when I discovered the hotel employed a very honest and compassionate team member who helped me locate my misplaced items while waiting patiently. Jasmin was a complete and total joy who kept me calm while I was frantic about losing a bag of new clothing. She was very pleasant and totally professional when we spoke over the phone. I am sure to be back there and hope to meet Jasmin in person someday to give her flowers. Monet M.

    I attended a wedding here & it was very elegant ! The food and presentation was great! Although I did not stay here I will say the customer service of the employees I dealt with was less than satisfactory.

    The Birdy Room
    Carolyn E.

    This hotel is just beautiful and in the heart of the city. Wonderful staff, delicious food, comfortable rooms and a gorgeous environment. We hosted a company meeting here and everything went so perfectly. The Birdy Room is one of the prettiest event spaces in Michigan. The beds are so comfortable and the rooms are nice and spacious. Robes and slippies in every room, fridge, snacks and alcohol available for purchase in the room. A really great shower. Access to an outdoor pet-friendly lounge on the 4th floor is pretty cool. The best place to stay downtown.

    See all

Located in an old downtown office building with a four-story atrium, they've converted the offices on the first 5 or 6 floors into hotel rooms.

Hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, if a litte overwhelmed on a game day ... the first room they assigned us was already occupied. After straightening that out, it was pretty smooth sailing. Nice appointments in the rooms, comfortable bed, great views of the baseball park. Valet took care of the car, so we could just walk to the game and not have parking problems. There is a dining facility off the atrium (Preseley's Kitchen & Bar), so once you're here you can stay. All in all a nice setup and visit ... just keep in mind you're downtown and near a MLB park ... so for sleeping at night, it is very noisy.

This property is housed in the 1925 Metropolitan Building, a stunning Neo-Gothic "Jeweler's Building" that sat vacant for nearly 40 years. Seeing it restored to its former glory rather than being demolished is a win for the city.  The entrance lobby and the grand stairway to the second floor are phenomenal--the restoration team clearly put a lot of heart into preserving the marble and the ornate details. Because the hotel has to conform to the original historic footprint, the rooms are unique and oddly shaped. It was a refreshing change of pace to stay somewhere that broke out of the usual "cookie-cutter" hotel mold. My room featured a long internal hallway, a small kitchenette, and enough windows to provide a fantastic view of the Detroit skyline.  Check-in was seamless, and the staff were excellent throughout my stay. I initially considered subtracting a star because my room lacked a steamer, but the breakfast service won me back. The made-to-order omelets and the yogurt granola station were top-notch, and that high-quality start to the day made up for any minor room omissions. If you appreciate architecture with a history and a bit of character, this is definitely the place to stay in Detroit.

This is an older historic hotel rather than a brand-new luxury property, and I think understanding that before arriving makes a difference. I actually enjoyed the fact that the hotel has its own history and personality instead of feeling exactly like every other modern hotel. One of my favorite things about staying here was the location. The Fisher Building and Fisher Theatre are extremely close, and getting around this part of Detroit is convenient. If you're coming to the area for a show or simply want to explore more of the city, the location can be a major advantage. My room was actually very good, and I particularly appreciated the good view from my window at Floor 5. I realize other reviewers have reported different experiences, so I can only judge the room that I personally received. The employees were also very passionate and nice. Good customer service can completely change how a hotel stay feels, and the employees cleaned the trash. That made me feel welcomed rather than like I was simply another room number. I also really enjoyed knowing that I was staying somewhere with genuine Detroit history. The Saint Regis has been around since the 1960s and has hosted some remarkable guests over the decades. There aren't many hotels where the history itself becomes part of the experience. Would I call this a flawless, ultra-modern luxury hotel? No. It's an older property, and based on other reviews, experiences can clearly vary between rooms. But five stars represents my own experience, and my stay gave me exactly what I needed: great view, Impractical Jokers show on TV, and a silly hat and sunglasses from a store nearby. For its history, convenient New Center location and the positive experience I personally had, I'm happy to give Hotel Saint Regis five stars.

The staff member told me there were no other rooms available and advised me to contact Agoda regarding a refund. I followed those instructions and contacted Agoda immediately. Because I had to find accommodations at the last minute, I ended up paying approximately double for another hotel. I was especially disappointed because this property was advertised as renovated. Based on the room I was assigned, that description did not match what I personally experienced. To make matters worse, I am now having to go through an extended process trying to obtain a refund even though I checked out immediately and never stayed in the room. Travelers should know about my experience before booking. Had the room been in acceptable condition or another room been available, this could have been handled very differently. Unfortunately, neither was the case, and I cannot recommend this hotel.
