ROOST Detroit

We stayed at Roost while in Detroit for a wedding. It is a unique and well-run property, offering excellent food options on-site and a superb staff that genuinely seemed to care. Our one-bedroom unit was spacious and immaculate. We will absolutely stay here again.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Roost Detroit! From the moment we walked in, the building’s ambience was warm, stylish, and inviting—it really sets the tone for a comfortable stay. Everything was impeccably clean, from our room to the shared spaces, which made us feel instantly at ease. A special thank you to Dominic at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and efficient. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable, and his welcoming attitude truly stood out. Overall, the Roost Detroit exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in the city!

What a fantastic stay. It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel and had literally...no notes. So glad I went with Roost Detroit after debating back and forth between this and another nearby hotel option for a business trip with colleagues, but decided as a nursing/pumping mother I'd really benefit from having the full kitchen with a fridge and freezer for milk. And it didn't disappoint. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Loved the walkable location, the size of the room(s), the modern finishes and decor, the coffee shop and myriad restaurants in the building, and the offerings: a full size washer and dryer, you guys! Plus every single staff member we met greeted us with a smile and was incredibly friendly. Left a lovely impression overall. Can't wait to return with my family and to visit the other locations.

We love it here—this hotel has become our go-to whenever we're in downtown Detroit. The location is ideal, with easy access to everything we need. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully designed—minimalist but comfortable. What really sets it apart is the atmosphere: it’s refined and classy, but still relaxed and unpretentious. Always a smooth and enjoyable experience.

When I walked into the lobby and looked up, I expected elegance, first class service and an amazing experience. When I entered the room I expected the same thing. Unfortunately, when I sat at the lobby bar I was thoroughly disappointed. Thought the bartender Willy was personable and knowledgeable about the venue. He was out of place.||It wasn’t his fault the Riesling was flat or that the blue cheese olives were premade, he tried his best. We figured the rooftop bar would be better but our hopes were crushed as the simple dirty martini wasn’t strained and the little floating bits of the dirty side of the order floated around the glass. We were looking for a little class and prestige and this trip fell short. On top of the above disappointment the Sonos Speaker in the room wasn’t discoverable but played random music and the sink didn’t drain correctly. Do you think Managment cares. If they respond to this review, they do, if not you all will see this might not be the spot for you. I hate leaving negative reviews but sometimes it’s necessary to get what you pay for.

Excellent property. I was immediately impressed with the lobby. The bar was great at night & my espresso was fabulous in the morning. Mia was kind and professional. I loved the availability of restaurants and the room was spacious and clean. I travel a lot for business & pleasure and would highly recommend this property.

Traveling to Detroit for the first time . I was extremely happy with the location, amenities & especially the friendliness & professionalism of the staff. The architecture and the art displayed were simply amazing .||As a solo female traveler I fell in love with the city as well as the Roost. Without a doubt I will be returning for a longer more immersive experience!

We showed up to Detroit early in the day then had no where to go to kill four hours. Thankfully the front desk at Roost was able to accommodate us with an early check-in so we booked a room here on a whim. That ended up being an amazing decision! The one bedroom suite we stayed in was priced well and was more like staying in a beautiful apartment than a hotel room. Also, this historic building was stunningly redone, with four restaurants on site. We got a chance to visit the bar area and French restaurant and had great experiences at both places. All in all, the Roost hands down is one of the top places to stay while visiting Detroit. We couldn't recommend this property highly enough!

This is an extended stay hotel and I think this is the new way to travel. The hotel room had a fully stocked kitchen, there was a washer/dryer combo, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean and you could tell that everything had recently been renovated. There is always a flip side to everything - the clothes dryer took forever to dry clothes (I had to hang them up overnight to get them completely dried). The windows could not keep out the noise of car engines revving - happened every night we were there. Also they had shades over the windows that couldn't completely keep out the street light. The hotel was beautiful and really well done. They made a very nice sitting/ meeting/ working area in their lobby. They also had 4-5 restaurants, the gym was absolutely fantastic- they had full barbells and a full set of weight training equipment in addition to all the normals: cardio equipment, barbells and mats + floor exercise equipment. Another huge bonus is the proximity to many restaurants, a bit of shopping in the area, and the one-stop direct airport bus was within a block of the hotel. No long walks with your luggage clanking around behind you. The only reason I didn't give this review full stars were the few items I mentioned earlier in this review - however that may have only been a problem in my room? Other than those few things, I really enjoyed my stay.

Chic hotel with walkable proximity to all that downtown Detroit has to offer. The hotel lobby is just stunning. The architecture is exquisite and the sky lights are works of art. The bedrooms are cozy, but small, while the adjoining suite living and kitchen area are quite large. The lack of curtains (only shades) let some of the street light in to the bedroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately the hotel staff - from receptionist to the breakfast barista - seemed to almost go out of their way to be condescending to maybe come off as cool? It was so strong it almost seemed like an act. And so we bit into our croissants, which are baked on site. The chocolate croissant was quite good; in contrast the almond croissant was one baked, stale mass without feuilles inside. Lastly, the security cameras in the cafe sitting area are a bit off putting. Still, the beauty of the interior architecture is why I'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Detroit.

My husband and I decided to have a little staycation in Detroit for my birthday a few months ago and I wanted to check out one of the newer hotels in the city. To be honest, I didn't even know ROOST existed until I started searching for last minute reservations. It checked off everything on my list -- downtown/walkable to LCA (we were going to see Olivia Rodrigo that weekend as well), close enough to food and beverage options so we didn't have to go far in the cold (they have 6 restaurants and bars on the property, including a coffee kiosk in the lobby which is an absolute MUST for any overnight stay), and a reasonable price point. First things first-- The hotel is located inside the recently renovated Book Tower building and they did an INCREDIBLE job renovating it. The building is GORGEOUS. My husband is a photographer and marveled at the transformation ("last time I was here this building was abandoned"). The lobby, the restaurants, the bars, etc. Everything there is absolutely stunning. Kudos to the folks who captured the grandeur of the previous building and brought it slightly more into the future. Secondly, this is an extended stay hotel which means your room will have all the comforts of home. A kitchenette with a plenty of utensils, cookware and serving ware to utilize if you'd like to cook on site. A few coffee brewing options (including a pour over set), an inconspicuous dishwasher (we don't even have a dishwasher at home!), a washer and dryer, small seating area with a HUGE TV, etc. Our room also had an amazing view of the city which I also appreciated. Oh, and it's pet friendly! We were there for only there 2 nights and yet I'm still feeling nostalgic over the experience and cannot wait to get there to stay again.

First time staying here while in downtown Detroit. Very easy to navigate to, valet service was super easy and the room itself was fantastic. Happy to see they thought of all the little things - had a full kitchen, very spacious living room and bedroom and the price was reasonable. We will come back here in the future - too good to pass up.

Perfect for an extended stay for business or vacation. Safe, comfortable walking distance from the Convention Center or you can take the People Mover (currently free) from directly behind the hotel straight in to the convention center.

Front desk is rude and disrespectful. Had prepaid for the weekend, arrived at 11pm after a 7 hour drive. They required a $250 deposit charge on cc which my sons cc didn't show. Front desk denied him the room, even after we offered cash or an alternative cc. This room was prepaid and the deposit could've been resolved in the am but front desk preferred to behave in a rude and aggressive manner. Never again!

Great location! Right next to everything. Quiet but they have white noise machines if you want. Really nice staff. They were helpful and will get you anything you need. Coffee bistro in lobby. Comfy beds.

Had a very memorable time at this boutique hotel. Stayed in a studio that offered a modern kitchen and bathroom. The queen size bed was super comfortable and provided me with a good nights sleep. I highly recommended this hotel for anyone looking for a clean, stylish and upscale hotel experience. It's conveniently located in the heart of Detroit's Downtown Historic District. Walking distance to many restaurants and speak easy type bars. Guests should also make sure to visit Kamper's rooftop lounge for tapas and drinks. The view of the city from the rooftop was incredible and worth seeing. A special thanks to Frank (a very friendly and attentive bartender who I hope I spelled her name correctly) and Jeremy (Hotel Manager) for making my visit very enjoyable. I look forward to coming back again sometime soon.

I didn't love Roost like everyone else . I found it lacking in a vibe especially in the apartments. They were flat and plain ... the restaurants were cute but the apartments were just boxes.. I would rather stay at a hotel that has some character ....

Hands down one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in! Besides the fact that it's walking distance to EVERYTHING, our room had everything you could ever want for a single night or an extended stay. Couch, lounge chair, kitchenette with high end appliances (gas range, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, toaster, coffee pot, washer and dryer), drink ware (even a shot glass and cocktail mixer), dishes and a massive smart TV!! It was extremely clean and just felt like home. It even has 2 live plants for better air quality and a cozier feel! I recommend 10/10 and will definitely be staying here again!
