Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel

You have to pay for parking and breakfast which for a traveling family is a lot. The view from our sixth room floor was breathtaking and the lobby was alive but the room and hotel was mostly outdated and old.

Great stay. The staff from the counter staff to the valets were super helpful and courteous. The room was great; the bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were also great. Worked out great for our cruise on the Detroit Princess since it's practically across the street. The valet parking was a little steep but the room view made up for it.

Location is conveniently near downtown attractions. Have to commend the friendly staff! The lobby is very inviting, but overall, the atmosphere is dated. My room was fairly clean, except for the crew socks stuffed in a cubby the last guest left behind. The river view is great, and the bed was comfortable, but a mixed experience. Room prices were also fairly high for what you get.

The hotel checking staff were very professional and courteous, but the accommodations were not ideal. I get that this is a business and there is money to be made but, "hot" breakfast being $19? Then when I asked about it the staff said, well sometimes it's free, just depends on the day. That sounds shady. What was the deal that made us have to pay? The bathroom tub was stopped up; my guest and I had to draw straws to decide who would go 1st in the shower because the other had to stand in the dirty water to shower. Then there is the parking, they only offer $45/day valet parking, with no option for self-park unless you wanted to park in an outside lot downtown Detroit with no protection. Again, that sounds shady. Last rant is the people that cleans the rooms. I clearly had a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob, but it didn't stop the room cleaners from knocking, attempting to unlock the door & coming in the room with us still in bed, & check out wasn't scheduled until the next day. Again, that sounds shady. Overall, just not a good experience with this hotel.

What a great place to stay. We had a great view. The room was immaculate. Everything so fresh. The desk help was super helpful. Pool was refreshing and the hot tub and sauna revitalizing. 100% stay here again. Great bargain as well

I recently stayed at the Fort Pontchartrain Hotel during a quick business trip and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was clean, and the staff were both courteous and helpful, making check-in and my overall stay smooth and comfortable. The location is perfect—right on the riverfront with beautiful views, and conveniently nestled in downtown Detroit. It’s within walking distance to great restaurants, entertainment, and the heart of the city’s energy. A solid stay for business or leisure. I’d definitely return
