Hotel St. Regis

This hotel from Detroit's glory days represents a good value. The rooms are large and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful. The problem comes down to location. There's nothing that you can walk to and straying very far at all puts you in no man's land. With a car you should be fine. Downtown is only about three miles away, the magnificent Detroit Institute of Arts, half that far. Cabs seem few and far between in Detroit, busses unpredictable. The hotel would do well to have a shuttle running hourly down Woodward Avenue.

We we only in town for a couple days, but we were really glad we went with the St. Regis. We didn't take advantage of everything (like the hotel restaurant), but the price and service were great, it's just around the block from the Fisher Theatre and the building was a cool attraction in itself. I saw a few other comments saying the location wasn't great or that they were unhappy paying for parking, but you can't expect to stay in the city without $ for parking or a few vagrants and this IS downtown Detroit. There is a ton of renovation and re/construction going on right now in the city, too, and it's really cool to be so close to such a huge revitalization project. Some of the streets still really need repair, but this is great place to stay if you need a cool, affordable place to check out downtown and visit some of the shops/attractions.

Great hotel, beautiful buliding and location, great price. The only issues I had were that there was no parking, and the air conditioner barley worked. It was like sleeping in a sweat box. With that being said the bed was comfy and I would stay there again, I would just remember to bring a fan :)

The rooms were very nice. The hot water nor the iron worked in the first room they assisned to us. They switched us to another room that had no iron at all. the switch took about an half hour and the iron took another 20mins. The customer service there is terrible. but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are nice.

The hotel lobby and inside was nice.. the room had its nicks and cracks but overall was a nice room. loved that we had a window that slid open to view a state building was nice to have that. no fridge or ice machine.. and no parking. had to pay 21 dollars to park and have valet do it. plus a tip. should have spent the 20 i spent on parking for a closer to down town hotel room.. we left the window open as it was a nice night and were awoke to a lot of yelling. however comfy bed and liked that it had a dvd player in room.

The Hotel is quite beautiful and many of the staff were exceptional. I would suggest someone stay there, with the following things in mind.The stay would have gotten a four-star rating from me, but for a few things that may have just been situational, but ultimately didn't make it an excellent experience for me. In a few instances (yes, more than one) I either didn't get help after having called to the front desk or it took them a long time to assist me. This is likely due to staffing issues. They also gave me the wrong times for the gym down the street (hotel guests get free passes) - so I went and it was closed. However, when I did go the next day - it was a very nice facility.[...]

even with the casino it was quite

A good location if your going to the cultural sites in Detroit, too far to walk to Downtown. Nice enough for a night, but we had some crazy neighbors fighting on our floor. I would stay again.

I just got back from my trip to Detroit and I had stayed at Hotel St. Regis for 1 night. Thankfully it was just one night. The hotel is quite an old architecture and is located in a neighborhood that appears to be quite shady. I arrived on a Sunday and found the neighborhood to be deserted. Although the hotel is located not very far from Downtown, I was terribly disappointed to know that there was only one eatery across the street. I went around the block trying to look for a decent place to eat or order my food from, but found it hard to believe that near a bug hotel like that, there was one fast food store (Happy pizza) and a Chinese take out place. None of them seemed to be decent places to eat. I saw plenty of suspicious looking people walking around (people who looked like they had doped and drunk for days). Gleefully, the city Police Department is a block away. The only saving grace was a CVS phramacy from where I ended up getting chips and soda for lunch. The hotel menu is terrible. As far as the rooms are concerned, they were clean, beds were comfortable. I am saying beds because in the room I was initially assigned, the conditioner started making a noise and I could not sleep further. So I called the front desk person who told me that he would send someone to my room. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I went downstairs to ask if someting could be done about it. I was surprised when her said "Is it still making noise?" and I thought to myself, "You said you'd send somebody and now you expect the conditioner to get fixed by itself?" Then he quickly assigned me to another room and called someone to accompany me to the room to make sure everything in the room was OK. The other room was alright, but I was surprised that not a single word of apology was mentioned for the inconvenience caused. The hotel looked desserted and at night in the lobby (when I went down to report the conditioner making noise), I heard the sound of glass being shattered (as if someone was repeatedly banging a heavy glass object with a hammer) at 2-3 minute intervals from the "private party room" the whole time I waited in the lobby. There were no lights on in that room. The front desk person went inside the room and brought back someone else with him and that person quietly went and sent down in the lobby waiting area. It felt a little strange! 2 positive things: They let me check in earlier than the hotel check in time and check out a little after the check out time. Hence I give a 3-star rating. Bottom line: Plus - Clean rooms and spacious bath rooms; Minus - Old building, malfunctioning/non-functioning gadgets in rooms, poor location with very shady activities in and around the premises, poor options for dining, personnel can improve on courtesy
