Timothy, Jul 2025
The room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The service was prompt and helpful. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Apparatus Room. I liked the bigger bathroom and shower. The high ceilings gave a sense of being somewhere special. The history of the building and Detroit was reflected in the decor and artwork found in the room and in the hallways.

Michon, Aug 2018
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.
