This is my third time choosing trumbell & porter for my weekend hotel stay for Detroit concerts and it's perfect for someone who doesn't wanna pay a whole lot but also doesn't want to stay in a ragedy hotel. The staff have taken care of me every time I come and never have any complaints staying here. Super close to downtown for ubers too.

I’ve attempted to call and email. My cars alternator died while I was on my way to Detroit and I was stranded in Ohio. I was still charged the full amount. I have yet to hear back about a refund.

We like the location and often walk to Mexicantown. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. It's best for 1-night stays as there are minimal places to keep clothing (no drawers, 2 coat hangers), and there are no really comfortable chairs. I suggest booking a room with a king bed because it has an additional little sofa with big pilows.

Used to be awesome - no longer.
This hotel used to be amazing, it felt safe and taken care of. This is no longer the case. The parking lot is not secured, even though they charge $20 to park and when driving around the building to park, one of the doors to the building, which should have been locked and secure, was propped open with no one around. I did not feel safe as a solo female traveler. The tv did not work, the fridge was not cold and the air didn’t go below 67. Multiple areas where damage had been glossed over and very run down looking. Bed was basic, not very comfortable and neither was the bedding. I’m so disappointed.

Anonymous,Thank you for sharing your stay experience with us. And we hear you! I know this does not help your most recent stay with us, but I wanted to inform you that we are working on bringing the hotel back to when it was amazing. As the new GM we are focused on a new level of service, we are in the process of converting rooms with a complete new bedding package, and king size mattresses, for a entirely new sleep experience. Security is very important to us as well. The secured parking gate has been repaired, and we are updating the entire facility with a new RFID locking system. Please stay tuned for our upgrade announcements on our website and social media. And please don't hesitate to contact me directly to share any details of your stay and ideas you might have. We look forward to seeing you again.

Not great. Looks cool but empty in people and soul. For an empty hotel, they put us in a room that was connected to another room that had a couple having a lot of “fun.” Not smart nor hospitable. One front desk staff should not be working in hospitality. Hotel wasn’t so bad that we had to move, but wouldn’t go back.

A super, cute affordable industrial vibe to stay in Corktown. Would be super cute and fun in the summer with the courtyard. Great coffee Bar for purchase in the morning. Restaurant/bar on site is closed because they don’t have a chef. Room and hotel was very clean. Staff were not rude, but were not very friendly. Did their job but never smiled or made you feel very welcome. Very just to the point…even when trying to make conversation with them. Would stay again despite this.

Cool boutique hotel, not bad for a one night stay
I don't really understand the negativity towards the staff. Every staff member we interacted with was lovely towards us. My main issues with the hotel are that the mattress was both really stiff and lumpy, it was obvious that no one had laid down salt on the sidewalks and in the parking lot so it was a sheet of ice, along with hotels.com stating parking was free as part of the discount, but still getting charged $20 for it anyway.

The hotel is located in an area that is not developed and seemingly shady. The rooms are tiny with paper thin wall. The worst part was the concrete floor that even with the heat on full blast felt like you were walking outside. The inside of the window had ice formed and I could never get the room warm. The elevator felt like it was open to the elements.
