Midtown Lodge in Detroit

Great location, exceptional staff, wonderful experience! The El Moore Lodge is a gem located in mid-town Detroit with lots of fun and interesting discoveries nearby. Best part of my stay was breakfast in the parlor meeting folks who were not in a hurry, spending time talking about everything Detroit.

Great place to stay.

Great eco-friendly, renovated landmark building. If you like bed and breakfasts look no further. Great location with included secure parking. Friendly staff, and included continental breakfast was a great touch. Very clean, and didn't expect housekeeping to clean during my stay. All in all very pleased, and will likely return if I visit again.

There is so much to love about this place! We found ourselves saying when can we get back here and stay again and let’s put our friends in here when they want to come visit us in Detroit! The property and building are extremely well managed and taken care of. The location is so close to so many great places to eat and drink. Conveniently located if one wanted to go downtown as the Q-line is just a short walk away. We would highly recommend staying here is you looking for a place to stay in or near downtown!

If in Detroit, stay at the El Moore !!

The El Moore is an absolutely beautiful place !! The history. The quality of the restoration. The midtown area close to museums, dining, downtown. Lovely clean room overlooking the front garden. Spacious bathroom. The bed was a tad soft for us ( Others may like it) Beautiful parlor with great selection of books. We did not watch TV; we read books about the architecture and history of Detroit. Breakfast is both healthy and delicious!
