The Foundation is a lovely historic hotel in downtown Detroit with modern amenities and beautiful furnishings. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated (with a wonderful cozy robe!), the restaurant/bar is lively and the gym is large with a full range of equipment, including Peloton bikes. I will definitely stay there again!

Very well appointed room. Decor was artsy-modern. Excellent location with places to sit and wait for rideshare vehicles. Unfortunately, I did expect some hospitality touches such as bottled water being provided in the room or a efficient way to have dishes cleared away after room service, for the price point. However, none of that was present or evident. Kitchen of the attached redo closed earlier than expected, even on a holiday Sunday. Overall, lovely stay

Great experience. Staff was great! One thing, if you need ice you have to call down and there is no free water that we could see so make sure to buy some before you get there. Other than that, the property is great, rooms were quite spacious and enjoyed our time. Would recommend and would go back for sure.
