Element by Marriott Detroit at The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan Hotel is a boutique size hotel nestled in downtown Detroit near lots of dining and entertainment venues. Basically parking is valet only but they offered great service. Actually, everybody at the hotel was wonderful. Very nice breakfast and their rooftop monarch club bar was exceptional and cozy with great views of the city. I got one of their larger one bedroom suites, and it was roomy and had a full kitchen. My only real complaint and reason for not giving five stars to every category was the brown vinyl wood flooring covering the entire room looked super low end. Like the kind of flooring you’d see in a hospital or institution. And in my suite some of the furniture (pull out couch) had the same cheap low end feel. On the other hand the bed/linens were first rate. Great bathroom etc. It was also slightly odd that there was no art on any walls. With the institutional floor and the stark walls, it gave the space kind of a cold appearance. All in all, it was a nice stay at a nice hotel. Just wish the finish detail was a little more consistent and especially the condition of the floors.

Do not miss the roof top bar. Also, the check in associates were friendly , informative and very helpful . We loved the historical building .

Only valet parking option which was an expensive add on. That was not clear when reservation was made.

Room was really spacious, rooftop bar has really nice views. Close to everything (food, stadiums). Wish I could have stayed longer!

Beautiful hotel in downtown, close to many dining and entertainment options. Streets and alleys well lit at night. Terrace views amazing at night

The hotel is in a perfect location if going to the ball park. Overall it was a great stay with friendly staff, valet parking, very comfortable beds. There is a nice bar attached to hotel that serves food. Only issue is that during renovation they removed 2 of the 4 elevators. There is no freight car so the staff brings all the food, bedding and maintenance carts up causing huge delays in the elevator service.

This hotel was beautiful and the staff were super friendly and helpful. For the price, they could add some things to the room (full-length mirror, more pillows, better towels). Breakfast went above expectations, and check-in was extremely easy. Valet was backed up a few times, but they were doing their best.

Wonderful staff and excellent roof top patio.Excellent location for sports

Staff was super friendly especially Lauren Front Desk and Great Rooftop bar! Everything is walkable great location!

No grab rails in shower with slippery floor Elevators slow or not working

Very clean, friendly staff, not sure what more you need

I loved this hotel, it was in a great downtown location, the people mover right across the street and Q line 5 mins walk away, 5 mins walk to Comerica field and Ford field, and 10 mins walk to the basketball arena, access to the YMCA is included which is 1 min walk away. Free breakfast and a free happy hour Monday -Thursday 5.30-7.30pm with beer and wine, street level bar with great staff ,and a really awesome burger ,and a great roof top bar too, you can see the baseball field from there. Great front desk staff and breakfast staff were wonderful too, food was delicious, free breakfast included scrambled eggs, home fries and meat, a yogurt bar, cereal and juices, every other day a custom choice was included, the meat was either sausage patties, links or turkey bacon. Housekeeping on the other hand were disastrous, 4 days into my stay ,I asked front desk if housekeeping could empty my trash that had not been emptied in all that time and replace the toilet tissue that was down to its last , and I had to ask again when I came back as it had not been done, I am not complaining about the beds not being made or towels not replaced but come on ,we are tourists that eat out, I don’t need to be still smelling my food 4 days later, the beds don’t get made or towels replaced except on a rota and they didn’t impress me by making my bed the day before I left and I stayed for a week! But I would still stay there as the rest of my experience was outstanding.

Area seemed nice. There was a dead bug in our bedding. The facility seemed clean overall. The property offered filtered water- but it didn’t taste good enough to drink.

Beautiful hotel in Detroit. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Walked to Little Caesars for a Red Wings game and Ford Field for a Lions game. Area around hotel and stadiums is clean, safe and very walkable. Hotel requires valet parking at $42 a day. Staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the Detroit Thanksgiving Day parade steps from the hotel.

One night overnight trip with a friend to attend a concert at the Fox. The Element is a great location within walking distance from all the stuff. People mover station across the street, short walk to Qline, Fox, restaurants, etc. We appreciated kitchen in the room with fridge and microwave. Everything was super clean, and the staff friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Element Hotel. It was a great location within 15 minutes to my work sites. The accommodations were clean, sufficiently stocked with everything one needs for in-house meals, beautiful large bathroom with plenty of towels. The hotel staff was professional, knowledgeable and eager to handle each customer’s needs. Big shout out to Ricka and the staff in the dining room.

I noticed that the floors in the room and hallway were dirty. I got charged for an extra night for parking. If I didn’t scrutinize my invoice I wouldn’t have caught it. It was fixed but shouldn’t have happened. It was almost like the desk clerk didn’t believe me. Over all the friendliness wasn’t there. Probably wouldn’t stay again.

It was a great stay! The hotel was beautiful and the room was clean and trendy. The breakfast was outstanding! Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Check in was flawless and the associate was so pleasant and helpful. The property is amazingly clean, and the location is fabulous

Everything was great about my stay except there was an awful, constant noise from the generator and some other periodic screeching noise. I assumed it was the whole property and not just room 301. If ever I should request a refund it should have been for this stay. The front desk staff was 10/10, the room looked nice, bed was comfortable, and it was very clean.

Unique building, great location, and incredibly comfy beds

The room was huge and the view of downtown was great.

Felt like an apartment building. No lobby. And very noisy street side from 7p-3a. Would not stay again

Its a nice place, however it is in the middle of all the activities, and during the weekend it can get kinda loud outside. Everything else was great.

Room well appointed. Especially liked the little kitchenette area. Breakfast was nice. Front desk staff very welcoming and friendly. Good location for hotel.

The rooms were very spacious and convenient having the kitchen area

The hotel is in a perfect location if going to the ball park. Overall it was a great stay with friendly staff, valet parking, very comfortable beds. There is a nice bar attached to hotel that serves food. Only issue is that during renovation they removed 2 of the 4 elevators. There is no freight car so the staff brings all the food, bedding and maintenance carts up causing huge delays in the elevator service.

Overall we loved the location, the bed was comfortable but room was pretty small. It could use some updating, especially for the cost. Bathroom was very small, not a lot of counter space. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The hotel and it’s staff are wonderful. It’s clean and modern. The lobby area is beautiful. The People Mover is across the street (Broadway Station) and the QLine is around the corner on Woodward. Perfect location. I would stay again. Be aware if you’re a light sleeper (I am) staying on the weekend, bring earplugs. The street noise and people are pretty lively until the clubs/bars close. My room was on the 3rd floor at the front of the building. Even with the noise i will stay there again when I return.

Staff at roof top bar and Rise was absolutely terrible. Awful service.

The stay was great. Great location and very clean rooms. Unfortunately the management does not do their job. I have documentation that I was charged twice for the same room. I have called multiple times and no management will call me back. Still an unresolved problem.

Second time my wife and I have stayed at this location. Both times have been fantastic. The staff are always friendly and extremely helpful. Valet is one of the best and most professional we have ever experienced. Rooms are super clean and zero issues. Location is great. Cannot say enough good things about this hotel.

Do not miss the roof top bar. Also, the check in associates were friendly , informative and very helpful . We loved the historical building .

The hotel is beautiful; the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We chose it for the proximity to Comerica Park for a concert - it’s SO close! But the staff was amazing! The valet staff especially - my tire had a slow leak and they actually put air in the tire and made sure I knew where I could go in the area to get it fixed. It was so appreciated! I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is clean, updated and located close to fabulous restaurants and entertainment. But the highlight was the hospitality and professionalism of the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful; from our check in with Mike, the valet staff, the bar staff at the Monarch Club on the top floor, the enthusiastic breakfast staff to our check out staff member. They all were great! Thanks for a great stay.

Room was not ready until 1 hour after posted check in time

Staff was super friendly especially Lauren Front Desk and Great Rooftop bar! Everything is walkable great location!

We booked a “Studio 2 Queen Beds” that listed the accommodations for up to 5 people. Photos of the room showed 2 regular queen beds, as well as the listing on Expedia indicated that the room came with a Queen sofa bed. It did not come with the sofa bed, so we were forced to rent an extra room to accommodate the number of people (there were 5 of us). The hotel was completely inflexible and blamed Expedia, Expedia blamed us for booking too few guests, and in the end we were out an extra $160 CAD for an extra room. Expedia claimed that the sofa bed listed was one of the queen beds in the “Studio, 2 Queen” listing, despite the face that it said it could sleep 5 people (which is not possible to do in 2 queen beds alone). Left a terribly sour taste in our mouth. The hotel staff seemed to have had identical issues, blamed us and were quite rude. If you don’t need a guarantee for the number of guests your room will accommodate, don’t worry. If you have more than 2 people, you may not get the room you booked. Be careful!

Check in was flawless and the associate was so pleasant and helpful. The property is amazingly clean, and the location is fabulous

Absolutely loved this hotel and the staff is phenomenal! Great place to stay in downtown Detroit!

In town for a ballgame at Ford Field. Great location, we never moved our car. Hotel is beautiful and walkable. Breakfast was just okay. Definitely would stay again.

The Element is in a perfect location with a rooftop bar and next to a People Mover stop

Walkable distance from main event centers

Valet was awesome, right on top of everything. Staff were friendly, room was incredible! Breakfast has a decent amount of options.

Smooth check in. Vallet was fantastic. Breakfast was very good. All staff that we encountered were very friendly.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and walking distance to anywhere you need to go in downtown Detroit. The hotel staff was so kind and helpful to any request we had. The Monarch Club upstairs is beautiful and a must stop in for a cocktail or tapas. The staff at the club made us feel so welcomed as well.

Room well appointed. Especially liked the little kitchenette area. Breakfast was nice. Front desk staff very welcoming and friendly. Good location for hotel.

Very well located near the Little Cesar Arena. With near by restaurants, parking and bars. The rooms are large and comfortable, with 2 queen beds (comfortable mattresses and pillows), large and well equipped bathroom, desk, etc. Complimentary breakfast included, rooftop bar. Very nice hotel!

From the moment we arrived the service was top notch! Everyone was friendly and knowledgable. I am Detroit born and raised but needed a place to stay overnight for a concert nearby. The hotel was in close walking distance of LCA, Ford Field, and Comerica Park. The included breakfast was amazing and cooked to order. Very cute and quaint. Will definately stay here again for all upcoming events.

It was a great stay! The hotel was beautiful and the room was clean and trendy. The breakfast was outstanding! Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
