We enjoyed our stay here. The room was large and comfortable. The property blends modern furnishings while maintaining its old charm well. It was kind of expensive, but I guess the market sets the rate.
I absolutely recommend you stay at the El Moore Lodge when traveling to Detroit. The building has all the modern amenities, but still has the historic charm/feel you want. The staff is very friendly, tons of places close by you can walk to for food and drinks, and superb coffee every morning for you to enjoy.
First of all the building renovations are phenomenal. Second the staff is uber friendly and kind. Third the rooms are great (I booked last minute and had a small first floor one but it was still great). Clean place, sweet breakfast, market next door is awesome. What a find! Having stayed at 99% of downtown's best hotels, El Moore is my next go-to for future trips.
Wow! What an amazing place to stay for an overnight in Detroit. The building and grounds are so beautiful. Love the historical and unique components of the El Moore. I could live here! And, the value is unmatched. Secure on site parking and breakfast included in a reasonable price!
Our unit (the Cass) was so cozy and comfortable. Very clean. The staff was professional, welcoming and so friendly. The lady who was here when we arrived (Harriett?) was so sweet and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This was a lovely spot that was super eco-friendly and overall very friendly. I really enjoyed staying there and felt very comfortable. I would come back!
We travel monthly and this was one of the coolest locations and such a historic building to stay in. Absolutely beautiful. The room didn’t have a TV or any entertainment options, but the location was wonderful. We were able to walk to great restaurants, bars and shops, as well as to the Detroit Pistons game. Would definitely stay here again!
This was, by far, the nicest hotel/inn stay I have ever experienced. The hotel was charming and beautiful. The staff was great. The surrounding area was pleasant. 10/10
