We stayed at the Westin Book Cadillac Detroit for the 2012 North American International Auto Show. We arrived very early in the morning, driving from Chicago. The doors were unmanned at the hour, but bell service was prompt. Check-in was slower than it should've been. A novice was clearly manning the desk and he clearly had trouble finding our reservation (10 minute delay).
We found the room nicely decorated, very clean and spacious. The room afforded great working space, decent views of Washington Blvd, and a peek at the Ambassador Bridge. The bathroom was nice for a renovated hotel. Great tub shower, but the floors were very cold. I highly recommend two double beds if you want a larger room.
The location of the hotel is excellent if you plan on having activities in Downtown Detroit. The area around the hotel is very walkable and quite safe. I wish there were more dining options in Downtown Detroit, but the hotel offers excellent dining options within the complex, chiefly the highly regarded Roast.
In-room dining needs improvement. The prices are very high and the quality of the food is simply not up to par, which is strange given the meal quality at Roast.
The Spa within the hotel is very good. Appointments are very easy to make and the prices are very reasonable compared other upscale hotels.
Overall the best features of the best features of this hotel are Cleanliness, Location, and the Spa.
Room Tip: Ask for a room with two double beds facing Washington Blvd if you desire a more spacious room.
