El Moore Lodge & Residences

We just stayed for two nights in the The Benedict Room. It was just off the main lobby but still private. The bed was great. The room was small but spacious enough for us to lay out our suitcases. The bed is separated from the very large and clean bathroom by a short hallway. The lobby/reading/breakfast room is beautiful and well appointed with interesting books about Detroit's present and past. We definitely recommend this place as an alternative to downtown chain hotels or AirBNB.

Lovely little Inn. A beautiful building with a cool welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast was a stunning spread of fresh fruit, granola, yogurt, toast and jam. The bed and pillows were super comfortable.

I really need everyone to know that this is one of the best places I have ever stayed!!! I have traveled across the US and Europe and stayed in AirBNBs and Hotels but never a traditional BnB or lodge. We have stayed in various hotels in Detroit and always been underwhelmed for the price we paid. This was such a lovely experience. The staff were both incredibly kind and offered great suggestions. I am so looking forward to staying here again. I've already sent this to everyone I know who visits Detroit. The breakfast! The tea selection! The bed! The CLEANEST bathroom I've ever seen in my entire life. We stayed in the Kasem room. The location is safe and features robust options for dining and drinks. Close to Majestic Theatre. Thank you so much, El Moore staff. We will be back.

My fianc and I have stayed here three times so far and will always continue to come back! The building itself is historic and beautiful and the secure parking is a major plus! The rooms are always clean and comfortable for our stay. The staff is also very friendly! We had an instance where we needed to move our reservation to a later date due to circumstances that were out of our control, and the staff were lovely in helping accommodate us! (I wish I could remember who it was that helped us, but thank you!!) The location is another thing we love! Within walking distance are a ton of unique restaurants! Overall, we love staying here and greatly prefer it over major hospitality chains. We always recommend it to all of our friends and family if they ever need a place to stay in Detroit!

Incredible experience staying at the El Moore Lodge! Maia was there to check us in and was super helpful getting us all set up. The parking and entryway was secure was accessible, and loved that there was coffee and breakfast each morning. The room itself was minimalist but comfortable and the kitchenette was everything we needed. I liked that sustainability is intentional- no leaving the lights on, or excess plastic anyway. The views were outstanding. We live in Detroit so it was a great treat to see the city from that perspective. Will definitely recommend and will hopefully have the chance to stay there again! Rooms: The rooms were tasteful, not huge, but super comfortable and thoughtfully designed. Nearby activities: So much to do! Walk to the museums, or head downtown for a show. The neighborhood itself is great for exploring and shopping. Safety: Gated entrance and parking were nice. Street parking and walking around this neighborhood is usually pretty safe. Walkability: If youre looking for walkability in the city of Detroit, this place is the perfect stay. If you have a car, park it in the gated lot and walk to the nearby q-line to get downtown or find a MoGo bike share station or scooter. There are many food, cafe, bar, and grocery options within short walking distance.
