I had a fantastic stay at the Doubletree Suites in Detroit, where the staff truly stood out with their attentiveness. The room was clean, spacious, and highly comfortable, but I found the lack of late-night room service a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a good experience, especially thanks to the warm welcome and delicious cookies upon arrival.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location near downtown was fantastic, and the shuttle service made getting around really easy. However, I faced some challenges with service, particularly during breakfast, which lacked efficiency.

I had a fantastic experience at Doubletree Suites By Hilton in downtown Detroit. The hotel’s location was perfect for accessing various downtown attractions and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful during my stay. However, I did face some minor issues with the temperature settings on the A/C in my suite that couldn't go below 68 degrees, which was a bit too warm for my liking at night.

I had a pretty solid stay at the Doubletree Suites in downtown Detroit. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made it comfortable for my family and me. However, the location felt a bit desolate with not many dining options nearby, and we did face a few housekeeping lapses. Overall, I can say it was a positive experience.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious and offer a separate living room, bedroom, and bathroom, making them quite comfortable. However, they do feel a bit worn down in places. I especially appreciated the fantastic shower and the clean environment.

The hotel isn't situated right in the heart of downtown, which made it feel somewhat isolated. While it was only a short walk to the People Mover, I found the area to be largely filled with parking lots and lacking in restaurants.
Dining

The on-site restaurant had a limited menu that was acceptable but not excellent. I found the bar area more enjoyable, as the bartenders were courteous, and the drink selection was good. Breakfast at the coffee shop was quick and convenient, though options were limited.
Facilities

The hotel had convenient valet parking, and the gym was well-stocked with treadmills and some weights. Unfortunately, there was no pool, which I missed while trying to unwind after a long day.
