Kip, Aug 2018
Pros (+) Walk to most of Detroit’s best attractions. Suites are comfortable and spacious. Amenities are minimal.

Anonymous, Mar 2017
Pros (+) The Aloft is a great hotel. Rooms are nice, although a bit dark and could use more lighting. Staff was extremely helpful and answered all questions. The bartenders at the WXYZ bar were great.
Cons (-) The hotel needs a restaurant or small place to eat. For being a wonderful downtown hotel, it is nice to get something to tag at the hotel.
