Trumbull And Porter Hotel- Detroit Downtown

My room was on the third floor and very humid. The floors are concrete. I kept my air on 67 degrees for the 4 nights I stayed and the room was very moist. My clothes that I packed even felt moist. The tub doesn’t drain well and the water just sits while you take a shower. I got the king superior room and it was decent. I love the location of the hotel and that’s the only reason I would book again. The bar is open sometimes when the lady feel a like opening it. Breakfast is able to be bought at the breakfast bar from 7am-11am. The parking cost and anything you get from the store in the hotel will be taken out of the security deposit that you put down. Bikes are also free to rent as long as you bring them back. The courtyard is very nice and has a few games out there and sometimes there is a bonfire. Don’t expect the most from this hotel because of the price, the hotel is in a very nice location. All of the places that I planned to go to were 6 minutes or less from the hotel. Room service you will have to request because they will not come into your room unless requested. Overall a pretty good hotel but has many flaws.

Booked 2 nights and only stayed 1. We would have checked out without even staying the first night but it was late when we arrived and my child fell asleep so moving hotels wasn't an option. The room was dirty, the amenities were janky, and the air conditioning was wholly insufficient. There's a heat wave happening right now and even after the AC ran in our room for several hours, the room temperature was still 77F, which is too hot to comfortably sleep. The hotel service person came over to inspect the AC system and said that there was nothing to be done, it's just the way it is. With no fan and a hot room, I was so uncomfortable and got little sleep. I don't know how this hotel gets so many positive reviews. Even if the AC was working, the room is lackluster at best. It's not clean and it's not comfortable. The bathroom floor was dirty. No one wants to see the grime and dirt that was on the floor. It's just gross and shows both a lack of detail and a lack of standards. I'm all for not having carpet in a hotel room, but the upside of having flooring that isn't carpet is the ease of cleaning it. So clean the floors, people! The blackout shade barely covered the window so it was barely functional with tons of light leakage, in addition to looking cheap. The room design and vibe is giving "college dorm with zero budget." I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and we left in the morning as soon as we could. I spoke to the front desk attendant about our issues and why we were leaving early. Hopefully I will get a refund for both nights because it was just awful.

Trumbull and Porter is instantly recognizable as a unique experience when you walk in the door. Austin at the front desk was extremely friendly, and the decor of the lobby is easily something you could spend an hour enjoying on its own. The rooms carry this style forward with extremely comfortable beds, and I left the next morning feeling physically and mentally refreshed. Very different experience from a typical name brand hotel that I'll definitely check into again if I need!

This hotel is very modern, clean and nice. This place is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of parking. They have a great outdoor area with a fire pit. They a restaurant but it was closed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The only drawback was there no microwave you had to heat up your food in the pantry room. The chair was nice but not comfortable. Other than that everything was very clean and comfortable. Definitely coming back to use the fire pit.

I stayed at the Trumbull and Porter Hotel for three nights and not once was my room serviced—despite asking the front desk every single morning for housekeeping. No fresh towels, no trash removal, nothing. Just empty promises from a staff that was visibly overwhelmed and untrained. When I checked in, the employee helping me was nearly in tears from stress. That should have been the first red flag. To make matters worse, room rates were jacked up to over $600 a night due to a conference in town—completely unjustifiable given the absolute lack of service or basic amenities. The air conditioning unit in my room sounded like it was on the verge of combustion—loud, rattling, and impossible to sleep through. I wrote to the manager about these issues after my stay and received no reply. Not even the courtesy of an acknowledgment. Clearly, management is just as indifferent as the staff on the ground. This place is a disaster—overpriced, neglected, and utterly mismanaged. Save yourself the headache and stay literally anywhere else. I will never be back.

Room was clean. Bed decent. Travelling for work wanted to order food in, but apparently you can't get any delivery in Detroit on a busy evening. Front desk unattentive and uninterested in assisting me with good local choices. Spent 3 hours on Google and calling restaurants to no avail! Driving around wasn't much help as the fine dining was all booked. Only hotel I've ever stayed at without a what's near by print out or booklet. Worse the way the first attendant never put down his book or how 2nd attendant told me to use Google.

I stayed at this hotel while attending a nearby event and had a wonderful experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful with any questions I had. I also really appreciated the unique charm and character of the hotel—it truly stands out!

Not at all happy rooms was very minimal to put it nicely! Nothing worked the fridge was broke the safe was broke and the one ya ONE microwave they had was in the lobby and it was out of service. On top of all of that the staff came in our room and stole only for the manager mrs YAN or YON however its pronounced to say " your free to make a police report but i cant do anything about your property" The only reason they new to go take anything is cause we called the front desk about the safe not working. THEY STICK TOGETHER so if u don't want to be stole from or charged 200 a night for a room that barely has anything in it and what is in it don't work id go some places else!!!

Industrial. Like, the most industrial aesthetic to ever exist. This place is a relatively newly remodeled hotel and their online marketing checks all the boxes. Its clean and minimalist vibes are satisfactory; but the actual experience is nothing shy of warehouse chic. Cement floors, minimal furniture, zero countertop space, small and cot-like beds. This is a far cry from cozy luxury. I found the aesthetic to be brash and think it could be balanced by some plush linens and other more comfortable details. That being said, their bar has an excellent happy hour, the front desk staff were welcome, and their rates are quite affordable.

From the start the pictures do not fit the description. We get to the hotel check in drop our things and leave for the day to go off and have fun. We get back to the hotel into our room I pull off the comforter layer of that's what you want to call it. My daughter says there is blood, I look and there is dried blood on the comforter. I look around since I'm getting ready for bed and the hotel is dirty and for what it costs is a complete rip off. I pack us up go down to the front desk, I tell the girl that we have blood etc she says let me talk to my manger I told her I wanted a refund. She goes in the back pretends like she talks to a manager and comes out and says as soon as hotels.com calls we will refund the money. Little did "brennie" "Brittany" who knows her name she lies so I don't know if she is making up her name. My husband is taking to hotels.com calls the hotel and brennie says she's the manager and no not to give us a refund. I drive back up there and confront the front desk girl we will call Brennie and say you told me that the money would be refunded, she says no I didnt well she doesn't know we recorded the whole conversations that were had. Then we ask to speak to a manager and she says she's busy then says she left, oh wow YUN comes from nowhere and now she's the manager. Now we have many of patrons staying there hearing this conversation. Brennie is so angry cause we keep asking for a manager she refuses to take care of the other patrons at the desk and lets them proceed to listen about the blood biohazard on our bed. I will add photos, not only blood but the room is gross it's dirty and well not worth the money. The walls were gross and the windowsill was falling off the bed frame was dirty. Refuse a refund with blood on the bed.

Had a medical emergency with my son and had to cancel. Yes it was the day of arrival, but our whole trip turned around. My first call was to the hotel. Even though the front desk granted my request for a refund, management ('Jeremy') has refused and will not return calls. Not even meeting me halfway. They don't care about you. Do not book. Buyer beware.

This place is trash its the most basic you can get don't even have a whole shower door on top of that concrete floor with paper thin rug and 1ply ya 1 PLY toilet paper WTF. On top of all that and the MOST IMPORTANT PART THE STAFF STEAL OUT OF THE ROOMS!!! And the manager Mrs.YUN thinks its ok didn't even try to look into it or make it right. Sad just Sad!! Spend over 200 on a room to have your property stolen while your gone.

Pictures online made this place look a lot nicer than what it actually was. Rooms were tucked away in groups of two as seen in the picture so as a female it felt a bit uncomfortable. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were nothing fancy but clean. Walls were paper thin so we could hear everything our neighbors were saying.

Unbearably noisy heating - slash - a/c unit. The decible reading is over 62, peaking at over 90. If we turn it off, the temperature in the room skyrockets even though it's the last week of December. The system is set at very moderate 68 degrees, lowest fan setting. No assistance from the hotel: called the front desk and the general manager for advice or a change of room, but no answer. There is no staff at the hotel for assistance.

Trumbull is nice hotel but My vehicle was broken into there 9/28/24 ..a gated parking lot..they took NO RESPONSIBILITY took off parking fee .. an said they couldn't help any kind of way ..don't go there....didn't return phone calls Detroit police said they portray safety have None..no security or cameras!!!

Concrete floors, clothes rack for a closet, rolling cart for shelving/vanity, small night stands, Flimsy beat up small rug in bathroom. All this for $260. Gated area for parking your car and if we weren't so dead tired or looked at the rooms prior, we would have passed on this place. Will not be returning.

Nope. Had to stay overnight, and used a third party website to find something decent close to where we were heading for an event last Friday night. Online, it looked like a boutique hotel. the front is certainly cute, they have bikes outside for guests to use. The lobby itself is kind of cute. But for almost $300 including tax, the room itself it just ehhh. They also keep a $250 fee for incidentals. This is not the Ritz people. Wth Let's call it lipstick on a pig. No elevators. Third floor in the back lot. We didn't even feel comfortable parking our car. While it's fenced and gated, the only car in the back when we pulled around had its drivers side window rolled down and a suspicious looking driver smoking a j. I told my bf to park on the other side of the parking lot. We walk up the three floors, the stairwell itself had tile from what you would see an elementary school halfway. Entering the room, it was very small. We had a beautiful look outside of the parking lot. lol No drawers, just a hanging rack with hangers. No coffee machine. Concrete floors with some throws on the ground. Some updates, such as a bath towel holder, but terrible job painting. The bed, fine until you sleep in it. Uncomfortable! Our backs hurt the next morning. Just being in the room felt a bit sketchy. Some faint stains on the bedsheets. I want to know how it the heck have the nerve to charge $300 ish for this mess.

TLDR: Dirty sheets, thin walls, locked doors to the stairway, do not waste your money! I really wish I would've read the reviews of this place before I came here. This place was terrible. We checked in late (around 11pm) and three groups walked in with us. The woman at the desk did a great job of simultaneous getting us all checked in. We took the elevator to the room and the elevator was sketchy. The doors were closing slowly and stopped for a long period before opening. (This happened multiple times during our stay). The walls had some art on them but I noticed they were all by the same person. Not a big deal but I thought a boutique hotel would have a bit of variety. Also the halls were dark. The little lamps didn't do much. You could still see but it was by no means bright. When we finally got to the room, I was a bit disappointed by how small it was and to see the bed wasn't made. We were only staying the weekend so I didn't stress about this too much and decided to make the bed. When I get to the comforter, it's filled with stains. It looked like it hadn't been washed. I quickly call the front desk and the same lady was like "ok we'll bring another one". They brought it, I move on. We're finally ready for bed. The tv was nice because it had multiple channels and a guide so we could watch whatever was on cable (no Netflix or other streaming apps were choices btw). It was about 1am when we heard music BLASTING, like it was so loud we could hear the words clearly. I was taking aback by this but too annoyed at this point to call the front desk. The music played for about 10 minutes and thought we would get some peace. NOPE! Not even 5 minutes later we could clearly hear our neighbors having sex. It wasn't like yelling, more of the moans and grunts. It was terrible. I knew in this moment, I'd never come back to this hotel. Hell, I wanted my money back but when we talked to the front desk they informed us that any cancellations would have to go through booking.com. Our stay consisted of more of this. We heard a different couple arguing multiple times throughout the day. The absolute worst and most concerning thing was that the doors to the stairs were locked! We tried to take the stairs 3 different times (at different doors) and the doors were locked. We only found 1 door that wasn't lock. I'm not well aware of fire laws but I am sure THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. All in all, I won't be back. I'll probably post this on google reviews as well because people shouldn't waste their money and somebody needs to check those doors. PS I am a bit sad to write this because most of the employees were really nice.

Bed bugs in beds. Not offered a refund after early morning terrified departure. General Manager was very rude and lied about Orkin visiting.

Bed bugs. Staff was unfazed by this. Clearly a big issue. No response from management. Avoid this place.

After the Marriott near the convention center cancelled my reservation the day before the show and tried to relocate me to the airport (no thank u) I was scrambling for a hotel room in the city. Everything seemed to be fully booked except Trumbull & Porter. I made a reservation from the Marriott lobby, waited too long for a confirmation email that never came, and eventually just drove over to the hotel where, thankfully, they were expecting me. Trumbull & Porter bills itself as (and, literally, bills like) a boutique hotel. The first floor has various amenities including a coffee shop, sundries store, bar, restaurant and even an outdoor patio with a stage where I saw some industry colleagues letting loose one evening. There's ice on the second floor and a fitness room on the third. The interior design is somewhat sparse but modern and clean. Just be prepared for the bare concrete floors (there are rugs) and IKEA-esque furnishings. The hotel is perfectly comfortable for a few nights in Detroit. It did have a few quirks though that added up to the loss of a star. First, the doors were not soundproof at all--which made for one particularly unpleasant night whilst my next door neighbor dry heaved themselves to sleep. Second, I would have appreciated a kettle or coffee maker in the room rather than the microwave. I am a person who runs on tea morning, noon and night, and so I ended up purchasing a souvenir mug downstairs to be able to heat water to brew my tea. Third, I wished there were a few more wall outlets available. And finally, while the fitness center is pretty well appointed, it lacked any sort of disinfecting wipes for cleaning the equipment. Not like, the canister was empty--like, there was no obvious place they could or should have been which frankly is really surprising for a hotel gym post-covid. I brought a Purell wipe with me the second time I went. All told, my stay here was pleasant if unplanned. The location is only a 5-minute Uber ride from the convention center and close to the restaurants and bars downtown. If the Marriott mistreats you, you can do a lot lot worse than Trumbull & Porter.

I love this place for so many reasons. They have complimentary bikes all year round. The staff is always so friendly. They have a cute little bar--plenty of secure parking. It is nestled just east of Corktown and less than a mile from Hart plaza in downtown Detroit. They offer complimentary computers in the common area. The bathroom is nice, lol. I'm a Lyft driver lol.

One of the most uncomfortable beds I've slept in. the room had milk cup stains on counter. The remote was gross and the bathroom was pretty gross looking. 2 stars because the art was pretty cool and the staff was nice. The restaurant and bar was not open and there are homeless camped out I. the park across the street. The area is not the best looking but pro being there is a gated parking lot that was only $10. Music was heard blasting from a room when leaving our room. This place is so overpriced and I was kicking myself for booking there. If you're thinking of booking there, don't do it!! I wish I took pictures of the bathroom. Mildew and bubbling paint.

Check in was fine, took longer than other places, but the person was friendly enough. Room is sparse, but comfortable. Did run into a couple of issues. The biggest one was that my toilet didn't flush. I called down to the desk - three times - and no one ever picked up. So, I took the lid off the toilet, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it myself. Took about 10 minutes, but was a bit of a pain, and it was super annoying that no one answered the phone at the front desk. We walked to several things from the hotel, so that was nice. We were there in February, and February is not a good look for Detroit. The area around the hotel could use some serious neighborhood cleanup love. I'd stay here again as it was central enough for want we wanted to do.

My God, that mattress. It was slightly less firm than the carpeted concrete floors. I literally ached in the morning. Also, that queen sized bed felt more like a full sized bed, thought I don't carry a measuring tape with me so it's hard to say with certainty. Walls so thin we could hear somebody in an adjacent room peeing. Trendy spaces here and there, but none of them operating. It's a motel folks. If their rates are low and you expect a motel, it's worth it. If neither of those are true, move on.

While looking at the pictures of this boutique hotel known as Trumbull & Porter, the thought of staying at it felt like an adventure that I surely wanted part of my getaway to Detroit for the Detroit Free Press Marathon. I also figured why not because overall I wanted to be closer to downtown Detroit. As for my visit, I noticed that the mask mandates are different in Michigan because I was literally the only one in this hotel wearing a mask! Coming from Illinois where we have mandates it just feels so odd not wearing one in businesses. The exterior has a unique appearance that certainly stands out. As one that considers myself a hipster, this hotel is definitely hipster friendly the way it is designed and what it offers. I really loved the interior of the hallway; the interior had a dim lit appearance with mini lights plastered along the wall. The dim lit appearance coincides well with the hotel's noted message 'welcome to the quiet zone' which gives you that vibe. During my visit I didn't utilize any of the amenities, specifically the fitness center, but I did see it from the hallway as I peeked through the window. I wanted to enter, but an access code was required to enter. I loved the artsy feel of my room; the room had everything you would need for a comfortable night's stay. Before getting comfortable on the bed, I did a thorough check for stains and anything else that would hinder me from getting rest. I found nothing which was a huge relief! And more over being able to toggle with the temperature added extra comfort along with the room's already cleanliness. There was not a carpet covering the entire room; just pieces covering underneath the bed as well as the sink area which I had to get used to. The carpet pieces looked like something straight out of your grandmother's house. So if you choose to stay at the Trumbull I recommend footwear to wear around the room because who knows if the floor is cleaned or not. There were also limited cable channels, but still enough to get me through the night. With it being a college football Saturday I was satisfied with being able to watch the main games. Another thing was the absence of a microwave even though I had no plans on utilizing one during my night's stay. Checking out was a breeze! With my flight being later in the afternoon I utilized every minute I had to pack my things until it was 11:00 AM, the noted check out time. During my night's stay, the staff took care of me. And despite having many other guests dealt with, their kindness will never be forgotten from the time I checked in to the time I checked out. Being that Trumbull & Porter offered everything I looked for I am quite positive that I will return. Other than it being accessible to downtown Detroit, I loved that it is close to Corktown where you'll find good restaurants. If you are looking for a hotel with less of a luxury touch, homely, affordable, and located in a safe neighborhood then look no further than Trumbull & Porter. ~Blessings~   Thomas G

Update: I was originally gonna give this place 4-stars but they charged my card even though I pre-paid my entire stay, checked in and out on time, and left the room in a very clean condition (I even made the bed again!). They didn't even give me an answer as to why when I called :( My first Uber driver, a Detroit native, told me he didn't know this hotel existed. My second Uber driver asked me about my stay, telling me this place used to be a "real sh**hole." Neither of these comments really made me excited to stay here. The area seemed very industrial, and honestly not safe for a single traveler. Once inside, I was greeted by a wonderful woman and a quirky man - both of which were very banterful. My room was on the fourth floor - it was small and quirky. The best way I can think of describing it is Pinterest meets farmer. The room was small, quirky, and filled all the basic needs. The walls were not soundproof at all, I could hear my neighbors watching a movie and could distinguish their entire conversation if I really wanted to. It was unclear where the gym was, and what areas were part of the restaurant. There were no water bottles or water stations near the rooms. My stay was comfortable; I wasn't receiving too much attention and I was able to coordinate everything myself. If you're looking for a more homey environment than your average Marriot, this is a nice place to consider! Note: it's not in a centralized location.

Ok. So, I've read many reviews of this wonderful hotel, which were mostly negative. I'll start by saying the hotel is in severe need of staff; during our four day stay, the same four people were the ENTIRE staff-Brittney, Yun, and two others who I didn't get their names. I personally saw where Yun worked from 5am until 2am, opening the bar at Red Dunn to serve patrons, while checking in/out guests. I asked her about this, because I noticed her length of time working. She noted literally everyone who worked there during my last stay in May are no longer there, and people seem to not want to work. This is to simply say the staff committed to ensuring your stay there is great are doing their absolute best. Red Dunn cannot open because they don't have staff; I guess the bittersweet thing about this is it allows you to checkout the many fantastic places to eat, drink and shop nearby. Checkout Honest John's, Folk, Rivertown Market, and The Gathering Coffee Co., among many. The hotel is a great place and is pretty much my second home when visiting one of America's best cities. The hotel is cool, and I believe it's an experience.

If you're looking for a simple, Easy stay- stop by here! Sleepy little Hotel(formerly a holiday inn) with historic value. Clean room but beware- no coffee maker in the room. They do charge for k cups- even though it ways free coffee in the reservation. $2.75 a kcup- kinda pricey. Cute boutique shop On the first floor . Checkout/ In staff is kinda clueless to what's happening in the hotel- but clean. The occupancy was low- but when I got a neighbor, I could Hear almost every word. There are concrete floors . Not too hot or cold- I was comfortable Here. Locked- Secure parking. Walking distance to many cool Restaurants in cork town. 7 min drive to downtown via side streets.

Well at first I thought it was cute and trendy, kinda expensive for such a small room, but it was a vibe, ALL of the amenities were not available, the staff were nice but kept calling our room and knocking on our door each night of our stay, asking about payment (which we've already made) I noticed that a couple of the other guest were experiencing the exact same thing 1) the walls are thin 2) they're over charging for a small room, while the WHOLE hotel is under construction, which is not mentioned on their website 3) I would've like this place a lot more if they were honest about what was going on there

Check in was quick and front desk staff was friendly. Cost an additional $10 for parking because it's gated. Not a big deal, but didn't know until Check in. The restaurant/bar was closed. Walking into our room my first thought was prison cell because it's stark white with concrete flooring, but it had everything we needed so it was okay. I was worried about the bed but turned out to be super comfortable. I would probably stay here again if the rates were much lower than other hotels, otherwise I'd go elsewhere.

This place is super neat looking when you pull up to it, the lobby is even appealing enough but this is where anything even remotely nice stops...to enter in your room, there is a tiny hallway that have the adjoining 2 rooms crammed together. If you and your neighbor were coming and going, both of you would not fit. The room was terrible, concrete floors with a very pretty area rug but it was not right for the area. The furniture...imagine IKEA having a garage sale...this place went crazy at it. The tub and toilet are shoved into a tiny space and...did yall run out of money to put up the second part of the glass shower door? Water all over the dang place. The in-house restaurant that they advertise as an amenity is no longer there, it is a completely different menu than we were expecting so we just ended up going elsewhere. Once we returned from dinner, our card wouldn't work to let us back in so we went to the front desk, the lady said our card declined the $150. Confused, I logged into my account and saw they were trying to charge me the entire cost of the room ( we paid cash for the room. ) I tried showing her and explaining it to her and she kept telling me, she fixed it , she had forgotten to click on cash as my payment source. She attempted to run the card again and I noticed she was trying to authorize $300, my card declined it because I only had the deposit money on that card. The lady at the desk kept telling us that my card is trying to charge $300 because it keeps adding $150 each time she runs it...that is not how it works. We were super frustrated at this point and told her to just forget about the room, we were going to check out and she said ok. We went back to the room and grabbed our bags and room keys and walked back to front desk to hand her our room keys. Once she saw us, she said we could stay and not to worry about the deposit, she said she wasn't charging us a deposit..was she trying to steal money from me? From the company? Since it was later, we just went back to the room and went to sit outside on the patio, people were standing around the fire pit having a good time. As we finally went inside to try and get some sleep, the group outside was still quite loud. We just turned the crappy .5k plasma tv up louder. Woke up at 8am, and checked tf out. The history of whatever this place was before is probably more interesting than what it is now.

The hotel boasts boutique hotel accommodations with high-end rooms, amenities, and products with an on-grounds gourmet kitchen serving brunch and dinner in the restaurant and room-service delivered meals. I was so excited for this experience that, upon checking in but before getting to our room, I asked for an additional night so we could take advantage of all the space has to offer. In hindsight, I really regret it. Not one feature in the hotel was actually high-end. The room we started in had bare concrete floors that had carpet padding chunks and dust sealed onto it that looked gross rather than part of the esthetic. The moldings and trim are flat, painted wood slabs, showing off that the contractors likely don't know how to miter cut and join much less simply align the corners. The standup shower stall had a single pane shower window wall with a small space between the glass and the wall to get in, instead of sliding doors. The whirlpool tub that made the single king bedroom I booked over $500/night was dusty and the tile enclosure had pieces poking up making it not fun nor romantic to use. It's worth mentioning that the website said it was a two-person tub but it's only big enough for one adult. Exposed wiring, popcorn ceilings, and unfinished construction styling added nothing to the value of the space and made my guest and I feel like we got sent to the basement as a punishment rather than to an expensive hotel room. We had to vacate this room due to the A/C unit leaking water onto the floor (that's where the concrete cracks are forming) and made the rug squishy and slimy. I called the front desk and waited on hold for 15 minutes while the desk person (whose first day it was, along with others that we discovered were having their first day on the job too) found someone who could help. I ended up walking all the way up to the desk because they never got back to me. I had to explain to 3 others about the room problem and a manager finally showed up and offered to put us in another room. I was happy, for a fleeting moment, when offered their best room, The Rolling Stones suite, where we slept the first night. The suite has all of the same, terrible quality of fit and finish, including the TP dispenser being screwed directly into the wall with screws sliding out of the drywall right next to the screw anchors. The shower stall window wall in the suite had a cutout on the mounted end and I realized that the contractors took two-piece sliding shower door sets and used one pane per unit and mounted them fixed as a wall instead of spending the money for a full sliding door set for each room. In this suite, the small gap for people to get into and out for showering is right next to the door going out to the bedroom so the bedroom to bathroom door jam is moldy because the shower water directly hits it. There's no towel bar or hooks anywhere near the actual shower so we had to drip all over the bathroom to get to our towels where the hooks are mounted across the room. We couldn't sit on the lip-shaped love seat to watch television in the sitting room because the seat kept tipping forward. My guest said the legs looked bent and broken but I discovered that the front legs were mounted backward. I remember seeing a news interview showing the room in 2019 with the same seating and wonder how long no one has been able to sit comfortably in this suite due to details like this that could be fixed easily. The record player and Rolling Stones records they invited us to use were warped, dirty, and unpleasant to listen to. The staff never even bothered to tell us that the restaurant was closed and there would be no food. We were supposed to have a firepit fire made for us in the courtyard but overheard them say that staff told them to start one themselves. I'm so furious about the experience that I've been crying. I told the manager about the problems, calmly and politely, while I was checking out early because I didn't even want to sleep in the room another night. He listened but made no attempt to do anything else since he had already provided the "best" room they had the night before. I would have been happy with a partial refund (at least for the night I didn't want to stay), other compensation, correction of problems, or even a fully genuine apology.

Due to a family issue, I needed to find a hotel in Corktown. I just spent 5 days in this hotel. I have never felt more welcomed and treated with such kindness in any hotel. Like many hotels, the Trumbull & Porter had to survive COVID and soon after that, a major water pipe broke on the street broke forcing the hotel to close and regroup. And they have! Like most hotels these days it's understaffed but the staff they have are all kind and considerate and are happy to do whatever is needed. They recently did a soft opening to their restaurant where I tried their corn beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day and it was wonderful. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are basic but clean and the place has a good vibe. Thank you to Julia ( Jin) Eddie, Corn and the new manager Brian for all their hard work. I wish you the best of luck!

I'm shocked at all the good reviews. We had visible MOLD in our bathroom and they are fighting us on a refund. It even looks like they had painted over it before. If there is mold in one room, you better believe this place is full of it and they are not taking care of it properly. They did a quick flip and did not fix any issues with the building. Definitely not work $200 per night!!

I have been a member of Yelp for years but have never posted a review - but after my experience at Trumbull and Porter, I had to go public. My partner and I checked in to our room, only to find it dirty. There was some type of sauce on the bathtub, there was hair on the bathroom door, and the cement floor was broken and cement chips and grit were strewn across the floor. As we headed out for the night, we asked for the room to be cleaned. When we returned from our night, we found our room had been properly cleaned BUT when we pulled back the sheets, we found that the mattress was covered in BLOOD. It was the grossest experience I have ever had in a hotel in my entire life. It was too late to check out, so they changed our room and we left in the morning. We were given a full refund for our 2 night booking, which was the least the hotel could do. I still am in shock about how their housekeeping team overlooked this mattress...

The hotel and concept was very cute, but there were some issues. We had to get an actual key for our room because the key cards didn't work. Also got stuck outside because one of the back doors didn't work with the key card system. You can also here everything from the rooms in the hallway, which is probably because of the gap between the door and floor that was roughly an inch. And I have never had a hotel put a $250 deposit on your card at check in! Seems a little excessive and unnecessary. To top it off there was no complimentary coffee! $2.50 for a cup of coffee

This is a glorified dorm room. Disgusting. Old painted walls, no food, middle of nowhere. Paid $350 for this garbage.

One of the more unique hotels that I've ever stayed at, and certainly my first Ascend hotel. In describing it, I have to say that it is an urban contemporary-style blend of hotel design. Located in a section of the city called Corktown, Trumball & Porter also has a pretty decent bar & restaurant, as well as gated parking within the side & rear entry of the building. The latter of which was extremely appreciated & highly important for a first-time visitor to Detroit that did not know the area well. Now, back to the hotel design scheme again. While comfortable, its just very different. I can probably compare it to an A Loft hotel, but that's a slight stretch. No carpeting within the rooms due to the urban contemporary scheme, exterior closets & tubs. Just different, yet not bad. In fact, the entire stay was quite comfortable. I really don't have any complaints other than a slightly lower ceiling in the hallways. But then again, I'm just over 6-2 in height. Will certainly return when in Detroit once again!

Front desk at check-in was very friendly. The room was much smaller than anticipated for the price but it was clean. It's supposed to be a hipster, modern vibe and for the most part it is. A few things- there is no carpet and it's a cement floor. The "nightstands" are very small, outdoor type tables and it's strange not to have a full door or curtain on the shower. We were happy it was clean and fairly quiet although we could easily hear people talking or walking. A good night's sleep was bad. Note: 1. We called to reserve and room and after checking Price Hopper they had a better price for the same room. 2. There is a $10 fee if you want to park there. I don't often rent rooms but I have never had this fee separate. 3. This hotel is under construction right now. I appreciate the effort they are making in cleaning up the building and making it into a nice place to stay.

This hotel is perfect for those who is into arts. The hallway is decorated with Detroit art work. The room is hidden behind the art display. It can be crowded when there is an exhibition. Room is small and very minimalist. There's a microwave and refrigerator. Sink is separated from the bathroom. The shower has permanent glass half way which is annoying for taking shower and and I cannot put my towel near by because there's no railing. Service is great. Staff is very friendly. Gym is very nice. It has two elliptical machine and two treadmills and free weights. There's a bathroom inside the gym. Breakfast is not included. There's a big parking lot. Near batch brewery that serves delicious food. About 15 minutes walk to downtown. Bus 1 stops in front of the hotel

Because my first stay was so enjoyable, my wife and I stayed here when I was up near Detroit this past weekend (Saturday 2/9). As much as I loved the style, accommodations and comfort-ability, my wife loved it even MORE! After we checked in, my wife and I went over to the restaurant, RED DUNN, and immediately were seated. We just wanted a little snack and ordered the Shrimp Jalisco and some italian/mushroom fried balls. Both were really delicious. We both loved and enjoyed our stay and will come back again if we're staying near the Detroit area! . . NEW REVIEW 8/9-8/11/2019 Had such a fantastic stay at @trumbullandporterhotel this past weekend while in #michigan #detroit for shows. . The comfortable rooms, lounge areas, gym and cafe are unmatched. Everything is kept clean and the staff is always gracious and there for any questions. . Whether you're looking for a tasty brunch, a quick bite, a hearty dinner or a night cap, make sure to stop by their in house restaurant @reddunnkitchen #reddunnkitchen

I really loved the vibe at Trumbull & Porter. It's in a really cool neighborhood in Detroit called Corktown. There's lots of little shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel has a modern but comfortable feel. It's the kind of place that your friend with the best style would have. There's also a restaurant attached to the hotel (which is usually not the best option) but in this case looked really great. I wish we would have had the chance to try it because the menu look delicious. They even had some fun dishes on the menu for Halloween. Parking was easy and is behind a gate that you use your key card to access. Our room was very clean and spacious and they even accommodated us with our dog and gave us a room on the first floor with access the the patio area. Their outdoor space was one of the most unique features of this hotel. It was a large yard that our room's patio and back door led out to. Outside is a large fire pit, games and places to relax and hang out. This was also ideal for us taking our dog out. I loved the concrete floors in the room. Carpet is always gross so it was nice to have clean concrete floors. THE BED....wow....can I please just stay in that bed forever?! The comforter, pillows, all of it was like being enveloped in a cloud! This boutique hotel does it right. It's not pretentious or over the top. It's friendly, cool and somewhere you actually want to spend time. I wish I had more than one night there but I will be back FOR SURE!

*** Trumbull + Porter is a boutique hotel. *** Many will say "not my cup of tea, or sumpin". Those seek more of a traditional Marriot stay. Yet those who like will say "it's an experience". T+P is nestled in the Corktown area of Detroit. Just a few blocks from the old Tigers stadium. It's somewhat off the beaten path, yet it's cool. Across the street is the BATCH micro-brewery. Beer! I tried several, even took a growler to go. That's nice. There's T+P bicycles available too. That's convenient if you wanna ride dwtn or so. And their prices are very affordable, so yay ... 4. Bar is cool. So is their early morning barrista. We played a lil cornhole toss in the courtyard. Sipped whiskies and chilled to entertainment. Movies@night & live music play outdoors ... 4. *** Like I said, a unique mix. I'd do it again. ***

The queen beds here are NOT queen beds. (At least not the one in room 117.) That's a full-sized bed. I walked into the bathroom to find old toilet paper in the toilet that wouldn't flush; it just spun round and around. I called the front desk to ask about the small bed and mention the toilet. She offered to bring us a plunger, but I wasn't interested in plunging a hotel toilet that I hadn't even used. The woman working the front desk WAS extremely nice and quickly agreed to move us to a king room (338). When she dropped off the keys, I showed her how I could easily grab both sides of the bed. She had a good laugh and said, "Yeah, that's not a queen!" Room 338: Only the left side of the window shade raises up, which looks ridiculous. (The strings on the back are all detached and broken off, so only the left side is able to lift.) The shower is one of those modern ones with no door, so water can easily come out if you're not careful. Finally, the bathmat is actually a southwestern style throw rug, that I'm certain they don't wash each time. (It's that course burlap-type material that would come apart and warp if you washed it.) The good things: very safe neighborhood, secure parking, very helpful front desk staff, really comfortable king bed, very quiet room, cool and modern decor, good internet, nice TV. If it were my hotel, I'd train the housekeeping staff to check things like working toilets and window shades.

Loved my stay at trumbull & Porter! The staff was super helpful, even got to meet the owner Leo and he was very accommodating. Planning to stay here anytime I am in Detroit!

Pretty cool hotel, seems like a pretty modern place but yet with a retro vibe. Service was pretty good, were there on thanksgiving so it was a little short staffed, but that's fair! Has a nice restaurant attached, was a little pricy but bartender was super friendly. Seems like a cool place to check out when it's warmer. Seems like nice outside atmosphere. Good walking distance to downtown. I would go back

I was hoping for a great night. To my surprise, these hotels upkeep seems to be poorly managed, A friend of mine checked into our room, as I like to do in any hotel room I stay- I like to do a quick once over to make sure the room has been cleaned. my first room has empty wine bottles and dirty clothing left in the room. Dirty clothes left in the cabinets where the fridge is stored and clothes still out in the open. this is something that could possibly be overlooked. but the worst part of it all is the stained sheets! Stained sheets are not acceptable for any hotel. I go down to the front desk, speak with the gentlemen at the front desk, he apologized for the room not being clean then switched our room, the next room, fortunately, did not have any left of belonging from the last guest but the sheets on this bed were even dirtier, this was so disgusting I could not stand being in this hotel any longer, this hotel room also had a jacuzzi with brown stains. Bathroom tile is dirty, the windows have not been cleaned and overall a terrible experience with the rooms The hallway had heaters to dry the leaking ceiling, multiple buckets in the hallway to catch dripping water, one ceiling tile fell into the hallway in front of an emergency exit door, no one cleaned it up for at least a day! The front desk guy is the same guy running extra towels to your room as well, this hotel has so much potential, the restaurant is laid out well and beautiful, the hotel needs a lot of maintenance and attention to the decaying walls and frames around the windows. I was very disappointed when I informed both front desk people about my issues and the response was---I'm sorry there is nothing we can do since you booked through a third party (hotel tonight) & you already received a discount I would love to see this hotel taken care of because it has so much potential as of now i would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. If you are going to charge $180 or more per night for these rooms you must provide a better experience. I would like a refund for my stay. $10 for self-parking to a gate that stayed open all night

Very Eccentric hotel. Most of the decorations are from locals and some are vintage. The floors in the room are concrete. There is no carpet so bring house shoes. Comfortable bed, clean sheets, friendly staff, coffee bar, restaurant, outdoor seating. If no car Uber drivers are plenty. MGM casino 15 minute walk.

It takes a lot to get a bad review out of me, but this place did it. This is a warning -- this hotel goes out of it's way to be terrible. There are better places for less money. Narrative description fails, so I offer the bullet points: - No food service of any kind - Junk food and sodas available for purchase - No housekeeping ("because of covid"); really, the rooms do not get cleaned - No workout area - Construction all over the hotel, inside and out - No communication to warn guests of the hotel's many failings - Spotty internet, can't maintain a video call - Small, shabby rooms (cracked concrete and rubble on the floor are not a "look") - Largely indifferent staff (save one woman, bless her) - Thin walls and floor, transmit sound from sides and below - Card keys repeatedly failed. Repeatedly. - Bathroom sink clogged - Just dirty pretty much everywhere

The Trumbell Porter hotel is very boutique, very comfortable and a great value. The staff treats you like family. The owner, due to employee shortages causing restaurant closure, actually delivered a home-cooked meal to me which was scumptous.

THIS IS NOT A KID FRIENDLY HOTEL. With that being said, it definitely is chic. If you are a hipster you'll love this place. You def have have to pay hipster prices too. This is the first time I've stayed in a hotel like this and I am def out of my realm since I'm used to embassy suites and Marriotts. Pros: A lot of activities Complimentary infused water Scenery The vintage setup Cons: The entrance way to the room The glass wall on the tub Construction activity

A great place for fans of industrial chic design. The space is an old Holiday Inn, and it's been turned into a very cool place. Our room was comfortable and nicely designed. It was also quite quiet. The location is a bit isolated but still within walking distance of the fun Corktown neighborhood. A bonus star for having a vision for Detroit. On the downside, we found a cockroach in our room. The staff needs better customer service training, since no one smiled at us once.

Stay out of room 414. Each time the elevator goes up there is a booming sound in the room followed by what sounds like an air compressor for 20 seconds. Pure joy when you're trying to sleep. The front desk was less than helpful when it came to giving us a different room. * Got a message to email the manager. I did... they never returned my email.

Horrible stay! obnoxiously loud people outside for hours and then of all the rooms available, another loud group enters next door. This was all between 12:30a- 3:30a. Worst part no one answered at front desk to report it to during all those hours! We're here on business & my husband has to be up at 5a & then in meetings all day. Sadly, we spoke highly of Trumbull & Porter, until now. We had initially thought to stay 1 more night, but can't wait to get out of here. We kindly request a refund for the worst night hotel stay ever! Smith -room #432 check in 7/7, check out 7/8. Sincerely disappointed!

The hotel was fairly clean. The room was interesting, no carpet just a rug under the bed. The bed was comfortable. They did have toiletries which was nice. The bath has only half a door so when you shower it gets the bathroom floor very wet. No iron or ironing board in the room. In the evening my bathroom door would not open I called the front desk she came in promptly and after two trips back to the front desk for the right screwdriver was able to get my door open. The lady that cleaned the room during the day was good she did a good job. The restaurant in the morning there is nobody to be found and was very pricey. There's a coffee shop in front of the restaurant I rang the bell three or four times. Nobody came over a 5 to 10 minutes. Then a server from the restaurant came walking past I asked her a question and she walked right past me like I wasn't there. At that point he went to the front desk asked him he said that it closes at 10 there's no barista on duty it was 10:12 at that point. He offered to pour me a cup of coffee which was nice. The gym has potential, half of the ellipticals and treadmills are broken unfortunately. And when you're on the ellipticals your head will hit the ceiling if you're over 6 feet tall. They do have weights that go up to 50 pounds which is unusual for a gym in a hotel. It be nice if they could get a cable machine in there I would bring the gym then to above average for a hotel.

We were in Detroit for a wedding which also happened to fall on the same weekend as a music festival so hotels were difficult to find and we selected this hotel because it was a secondary hotel on the wedding block. I knew from other Yelp reviews ahead of time the hotel was very trend and has an industrial vibe. The hotel used to be another hotel chain and underway a big remodel several years back. The decor and trendy vibe is nice and cute but if you aren't in to that, you might want to consider a different hotel. Our experience with the staff was mostly average and while they were nice the staff fit into the laid back nature of the hotel as a whole. We had somewhat loud neighbors that were probably in town for the music festival and the cement walls and floor don't really help muffle noise. We didn't appreciate the thumping of music which began at 8am on a Sunday. I had previously read a few reviews on the cleanliness of the hotel and was disgusted to find a mouth pic left on the floor near the bed. It makes me question whether the floors are even cleaned between guests as it was obvious to the naked eye. Overall I believe our total experience and package of the hotel was only average.
