Staying at the Honor & Folly reminded me of experiences in the past when I would stay at very…read moresmall-scale inns or self-catering apartments in Europe. You get a place to lay your head and you get a feel for what it's like to live in a place. In a sense, visiting Detroit is like visiting another country. It defies convention and expectation and pulls you in. Honor & Folly is a terrific place to fall in love with the city. It's perched above three essential places: a BBQ joint, a cocktail bar and a coffee shop. Across the street is the iconic ruin of Michigan's central station. Down Michigan is downtown Detroit. The interior is beautiful and driven by a strong design aesthetic. Goods like blankets, dishes and cutting boards are for sale and their makers have fascinating only-in-michigan stories. The proprietress, Meghan, is a design connoisseur and clearly a linker of people, who cultivates a very easygoing vibe while sacrificing nothing in terms of the quality of visual effect. Every object in every room seems to have a functional and decorative purpose. Here's what you need to know about Honor & Folly. Parking is street only and because Slows BBQ is so popular (as in wait for two hours for a table popular), many people are parking on the street. Even so, we had no problem finding a decent spot within view of where we were staying. This is a self-catering place so you can buy food and cook it up, but there's no breakfast with the bed. We bought coffee downstairs, had them grind it and then brewed our own little french press each morning. I highly recommend this inn. If you've given serious thought to exploring Detroit or just want a nest-like getaway, check it out. The Honor & Folly site describes the inn as: "A small-scale, design-focused Detroit inn, Honor & Folly is reminiscent of the way folks used to travel: a few beds above the village pub or restaurant with a hearty breakfast. You'll be immersed in the oldest neighborhood of Detroit - smack in the middle of one of the most thriving blocks in the city. You'll sit next to locals at the bar downstairs--or the coffee shop--and learn about the city from people who live here. Detroiters are a pretty friendly lot."

Stayed at Honor & Folly this past Labour Day Monday, plus, following Tuesday night. Short and sweet…read moregetaway. The nicely appointed retro apartment was perfect for our base in Detroit. Going over the Ambassador Bridge, after clearing U.S. Customs, the apartment is two or three minutes away. Host was excellent helping us to reserve the rental space, as well as offering hip trip suggestions. Just outside the door of the pad, there are unique Corktown restaurants, cafes, and bars (i.e., Slows B.B.Q., The Sugar House, Mercury Burger and Bar, and Astro Coffee, what else do you need, eh?!). We did not have a car during our stay in the Motor City, yes, if you can believe it. Used Via Rail train service to Windsor station, then, hired a taxi to take us to the U.S. During the day, one can easily walk from the apartment to all sites in the downtown of Detroit, and hire a taxi if too tired to walk back. Again, car is not required to get the best out of Detroit, so long as you like to walk, befriend a reliable taxi driver, and know where you're heading. We can't wait to go back to Detroit, and stay here.

Atheneum Suite Hotel - Looking out from the hotel bar into the lobby. This place is stunning!

Greektown, Downtown Detroit

Atheneum Suite Hotel is conveniently located in Greektown. There's a parking structure across the…read morestreet and valet service is available(pricey but in par with Downtown). I was warmly welcomed by the Bellman who held the door open and directed me to the Reception desk. Check-In was seamless and I was given information on the property. There is a $100 incidental deposit. The lobby is beautiful and has a restaurant/bar. My suite was on the fourth floor. Very clean and well appointed. Plenty of space. Keurig coffee maker, refrigerator(note Fiji water is $5 per bottle) and TVs in both the living room and bedroom. Unique with glass block throughout hotel and in the suites. Hotel is quiet and you can have breakfast delivered to your room along with room service. I love the layout and design and it's a great place for a staycation!

I absolutely love this place and have been coming here every Memorial Day since about 2002 (not…read moreevery year, but just about). What is amazing about this place is the people who work there. They are truly the gems of this place. I see the same people year after year and they truly care for you while you are here. I've gotten excellent advice about where and what to eat, where to visit, and even life advice. From Cassandra who answers the phone, to group sales, to the front desk, to the thorough and patient housekeeper Jasmine, to the really kind van drivers/ concierge (Captain Tony, Cory, and Darryl), to the nice woman at the bar restaurant downstairs. Everyone does an amazing job. This place is a great value also. It's an all suites hotel so you get a lot of space. I love having the sleeping room separate from the living room so if some people in your party want to stay up and chat they can do that while I can have my peace and nap in the bedroom. The sound proofing isn't perfect but it's pretty good for a hotel room. I also love the deep soaking tub. I always arrive earlier than everyone else so I can take a bath right when I get there. There is a shuttle service that is very useful for trips within 5 miles. I've seen many people use it to get to the sports arena nearby. I tend to use it to go to nearby restaurants, dance clubs and the whole foods nearby before all the markets opened downtown. They just went through some serious remodeling and everything looks really good. The location in Greektown makes it walkable to most places. I'm most interested in walking to Hart Plaza, which is about 10 minutes walking. It's also about 10-15 minutes walking to the DAX bus stop. I've even taken the 20 minute walk to the Fox theater because I wanted to see that building. Its best to walk with someone if your going that far and keep your wits about you, but I felt completely safe (as a brown woman who grew up in NYC). I love how much Detroit is growing and changing for the more beautiful. If I had one complaint it would be the music that they play in the lobby. I wish they would play Motown (because of the city we're in), techno or Greek music (because we're in Greektown and the place is called the Atheneum). I feel like that would be more true to where we are, but that's such a small thing, and maybe just me. All in all, I LOVE staying here and will continue to stay here when ever I'm in Detroit.

This guest house is a convenient place to see a real neighborhood in Detroit - North End. This…read morearea is not for the average suburbanite, bed and breakfast goer, but it's a great spot to stay while exploring the city outside of Midtown and Downtown (only ~10 away by car) We found the guesthouse through Airbnb, which was super helpful in making our decision: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/39040 Nathan is the super friendly owner who can tell you about the neighborhood and cool places to visit in the city, especially if you are a vegetarian, artist, or creative type. He supports local businesses (yay!) and can direct you to several businesses run by the local community development corporation. ~ There are abandoned homes on the same street, but he has a good security system and I felt safe and secure with another female traveler. There's also a little park where we saw children play across the street. ~ Rooms: The 3 themed rooms (Air, Water, and Fire) are comfortable and clean. You will have access to a full kitchen, shared full bathroom. We were in the Fire room on the 2nd floor, which had a great Tempurpedic mattress. The third floor room, which was unoccupied during our stay, is in the attic and looked spacious enough for four people - one full size bed and floor space for sleeping bags and pads. There was sound insulation leading up to it, so good for small groups who are traveling through. During our stay, we met another woman from Chicago who was considering moving back to the city. Neat! Inyo is the onsite kitty. He's long haired, friendly, and talkative. My friend had little problem with her allergies. Definitely recommended!
