What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 262 guest reviews
The Shinola Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its prime downtown Detroit location, warm and attentive staff, and distinctive design-forward aesthetic, with many guests singling out thoughtful welcome touches like champagne on arrival. Recurring drawbacks include inconsistent breakfast service (occasionally suspended due to staffing shortages), street noise at night, and a handful of guests feeling the price-to-amenity ratio falls short. Overall, it is a highly regarded boutique property that inspires strong repeat loyalty despite a few operational rough edges.
