What stay? Hotel didn’t honour the booking.com confirmation

Liked:Nothing

Disliked:I arrived at midnight with a confirmed booking to be told that hotel would not accept the booking.com confirmation. Unbelievable. Never had this happen own before. Beyond unacceptable

Underwhelming Experience

Liked:My partner and I recently stayed at the Foundation Hotel while in town for a wedding, and unfortunately, our experience was underwhelming. We had been deciding between the Foundation and the Shinola Hotel and ultimately regretted our choice. We booked a Deluxe King room through American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts for approximately $500 per night. While there were some positives, they did not outweigh the numerous disappointments. The Good: The Apparatus Room on the main level is beautiful and has a great aesthetic. The room itself was comfortable enough, and the bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. The Le Labo bath products were a nice touch. The Bad: At check-in, we were told that no room upgrades were available, which we completely understood. However, the front desk attendant informed us that we would be able to receive a 4:00 PM late checkout. We planned our final day around that information. On checkout day, we went out for breakfast and returned to find our room key no longer worked. When we spoke with the front desk, a supervisor informed us that they could not accommodate a late checkout after all and that the employee who had promised it was misinformed. This last-minute change forced us to alter our plans for the afternoon, including a museum visit we had intended to make before heading out of town. Our room also overlooked a parking lot, and on multiple nights around 1:00 AM, loud music from cars in the lot woke us up. Additionally, one of the room's blinds was broken, preventing us from opening the curtain and letting natural light into the room. Another surprise was the lack of complimentary bottled water in the room. When we called to ask about water, we were told we could either purchase the bottles in the minibar for $7 each or go down to the gym to fill up there. At this price point, complimentary water feels like a basic amenity. The gym was also extremely limited. If your workout routine involves anything beyond cardio, you will likely be disappointed. We chose to have lunch at the Apparatus Room upon arrival, but the front desk attendant neglected to mention that the restaurant was offering a happy hour menu at the time. Instead, we ordered from the regular menu, which we found both very limited and significantly overpriced for the quality and selection offered. Overall, this stay fell well below expectations, especially considering the nightly rate. Between the inconsistent service, poor communication, lack of basic amenities, noise issues, and underwhelming facilities, we would not recommend staying at the Foundation Hotel. If you're considering hotels in downtown Detroit at this price point, we believe the Shinola Hotel is the better option.
