would recommend to those wanting to stay downtown. Within walking distance of Joe Louis Arena and other attractions. There is only valet parking but worth the money, they were very fast. Area recommendations Downtown More

I stayed here for 2 nights for business and was greeted with a warm, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! The location is great for the river walk and the people mover to Greektown for dinner. Or anywhere in the downtown area. My room was a suite surprise on the 9th floor; and I believe most rooms are of suite size. Night... More

Beautiful 100 year old building. Quiet and comfortable rooms. The bed was not as comfortable as other Hilton Brand hotels I have stayed at - a bit too "springy" but the linens and pillows were consistent which is always nice. They've done a great job with the decor. More

I stayed for one night in January to attend an event at Cobo Hall (which is a short three-block walk from the hotel). The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The bed was a bit too soft for me, but others may like it. The walls were solid -- I couldn't hear any noise from adjoining rooms or the hallway.... More

Stayed here overnight. Nice place, love the decor! Quiet at the end of the hallway. Breakfast buffet was delicious, however if you have a voucher for breakfast, make sure you read the fine print. I didn't read the voucher and was then charged for breakfast because I ate hot food and not the complimentary cold food. My servers did not... More

Whenever I am in Detroit I love to stay downtown. I am in Detroit about 3 times a year and I always like to stay at the Doubletree Fort Shelby. It is a nice, comfortable hotel. I like the fact that it is an old hotel that has been completely redone by Doubletree. I always ask for one of the... More

We have a guys road trip every year, and it always starts in Detroit for a Red Wings game before we head to another US city for more sports events. For the past 3-4 years we have been coming to the Doubletree Fort Shelby and every year they do not let us down. Can't beat the location - close to... More

This was the 2nd time I've stayed here and will be coming back when I'm back in Detroit. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is always very helpful. Would recommend it if have to stay 'downtown'. The complimentary breakfast only includes a 'continental' @ the hotel restaurant, the only down side I can think of... More

Beautifully rennovated downtown building. Massive room with separate living room/desk area. Really great exercise room. Attentive staff. Exceptionally clean. Nice to see an older building restored to its former glory. More
