    My husband and I decided to have a little staycation in Detroit for my birthday a few months ago and I wanted to check out one of the newer hotels in the city. To be honest, I didn't even know ROOST existed until I started searching for last minute reservations. It checked off everything on my list -- downtown/walkable to LCA (we were going to see Olivia Rodrigo that weekend as well), close enough to food and beverage options so we didn't have to go far in the cold (they have 6 restaurants and bars on the property, including a coffee kiosk in the lobby which is an absolute MUST for any overnight stay), and a reasonable price point. First things first-- The hotel is located inside the recently renovated Book Tower building and they did an INCREDIBLE job renovating it. The building is GORGEOUS. My husband is a photographer and marveled at the transformation ("last time I was here this building was abandoned"). The lobby, the restaurants, the bars, etc. Everything there is absolutely stunning. Kudos to the folks who captured the grandeur of the previous building and brought it slightly more into the future. Secondly, this is an extended stay hotel which means your room will have all the comforts of home. A kitchenette with a plenty of utensils, cookware and serving ware to utilize if you'd like to cook on site. A few coffee brewing options (including a pour over set), an inconspicuous dishwasher (we don't even have a dishwasher at home!), a washer and dryer, small seating area with a HUGE TV, etc. Our room also had an amazing view of the city which I also appreciated. Oh, and it's pet friendly! We were there for only there 2 nights and yet I'm still feeling nostalgic over the experience and cannot wait to get there to stay again.

    First time staying here while in downtown Detroit. Very easy to navigate to, valet service was super easy and the room itself was fantastic. Happy to see they thought of all the little things - had a full kitchen, very spacious living room and bedroom and the price was reasonable. We will come back here in the future - too good to pass up.

    Perfect for an extended stay for business or vacation. Safe, comfortable walking distance from the Convention Center or you can take the People Mover (currently free) from directly behind the hotel straight in to the convention center.

    Beautifully preserved lobby

    Had a very memorable time at this boutique hotel. Stayed in a studio that offered a modern kitchen and bathroom. The queen size bed was super comfortable and provided me with a good nights sleep. I highly recommended this hotel for anyone looking for a clean, stylish and upscale hotel experience. It's conveniently located in the heart of Detroit's Downtown Historic District. Walking distance to many restaurants and speak easy type bars. Guests should also make sure to visit Kamper's rooftop lounge for tapas and drinks. The view of the city from the rooftop was incredible and worth seeing. A special thanks to Frank (a very friendly and attentive bartender who I hope I spelled her name correctly) and Jeremy (Hotel Manager) for making my visit very enjoyable. I look forward to coming back again sometime soon.

There is a new fitness center with an outdoor pool and 24/7 security with a gate to enter the community. The management company when I first moved in left a lot to be desired but over the last few months, the new management company has been incredible. Questions are addressed expeditiously, any concerns have been addressed and things are constantly improving. More events for tenants and all in all a better experience. I highly recommend it as a place to live, ESPECIALLY now that the management company is as good as the actual apartments.

    Midtown

    I have been a tenant at this apartment for four years. It is perfectly located in Midtown Detroit…read more Walking distance from Wayne State medical school, and Wayne State undergrad campus. A short Uber ride from downtown and with the new Q line built there is a station right in front of the apartment that takes you anywhere you need to go along Woodward. The unit includes dishwasher, a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and a washer and dryer. The unit does not come furnished allowing you to customize it your self. I have attached pictures of my one bedroom, one bathroom unit " midtown" floor plan. The apartment building also has a gym that has recently been remodeled and upgraded. It has a television, two treadmills, two ellipticals, a bicycle, assisted benchpress rack, free weights, and a multi exercise weight machine like a bowflex. The current building managers John and Nikki are the best we have ever had. They truly care about the cleanliness of the building, they are very responsive to complaints, and they are constantly striving to upgrade and improve the services of the building. They host monthly events for the whole apartment including things like a happy hour social, or a night out at hop cat all on the tab of studio one. The building managers also have organized a custom coffee and smoothie cart to make drinks for the tenants. They truly care about us! There is a call box at the front door. And a nightly security guard who patrols the property for extra security. This is much appreciated. The only complaints I would have about the location is that on a Friday or Saturday night the people at starters bar and grill downstairs can make too much noise in the parking lot. Also, the parking downstairs is for retail customers only. If you have a car you will need to purchase a separate parking pass in the structure. Overall I give this place five stars for its price, comfort, staff, location, and security, the combination of which is not found anywhere else in Midtown Detroit.

    I have lived in studio one since May 2017 and it is by far my favorite place I have lived…read more I have not had a single problem since I moved in besides simple maintenance issues which are fixed the same day and if not, the next day. The location is awesome with it being right in midtown. There are a ton of places to walk to and downtown is a 30 min walk or a QLINE ride away. The apartments are super nice, mine has black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large windows, and a small balcony. Overall I have had poor experiences with renting and this one has been exceptional with this company, definitely recommend if you are looking to live in the midtown area.

    Eastern Market

    These lofts are absolutely incredible if you're adaptable. The management is very communicative,…read morebut it is an older building with some issues and there isn't a large staff to attend to every small thing. The industrial heater is loud. There is no AC (I should note that I'm in one of the less ritzy units - others do have AC and probably updated heaters). Our ceiling leaked a bit, but nothing crazy. The floors are cement/stoneish, as the building used to be a brewery/warehouse, so there are some chunks taken out of it. Not necessarily a bad thing at all! But just know that when they describe a raw, industrial loft, you'll really be getting the raw and semi-gritty vibe. I love it, but it's not for everyone. Yes, I hear some complaints from other residents about things being fixed, but I have seen a ton of effort from staff (not only the building manager but maintenance as well), and the pros of living here are countless. You won't find this much space for the price anywhere else in the city, and it is worth it to be in such an amazing, artistic community, surrounded by murals. Trips to the Market for food on Saturdays or a quick beer at Eastern Market Brewing will become an easy routine. Parking is only $25/month. They throw a party on the rooftop for residents on Fireworks day, which is really amazing! I also love that residents are able to make the place their own (no strict rules on pets, painting, etc). The owner is laid back about that, and I feel very lucky to live here.

    I'll separate review into positive and negative experience living in this place…read more Positive: residents are great and friendly. Lofts offer stunning views. The location is great. Never had any problem hearing other residents from our loft. Good security in the building. Negative: our shower was not working properly when we moved in. It took 2-3 weeks for them to fix it. Almost every month, they had to come in for a different reason. One time it was just to take pictures of the loft. So, if you have a pet then be prepared to be there or have someone watch over your pet. Communication with jim is just nasty. I had emailed him 2 months prior our move out to get an idea of move out procedure. He would not respond. During our moving out process we threw the stuff we didn't keep in the trash. He charged us 500$ for trash removal. This doesn't make sense because we pay a flat fee every month that covers trash removal. He WOULD NOT send us our copy of the lease no matter how many times we asked. He gave us a unit that has a washer and dryer that was left by previous resident. When we told him the dryer doesn't work.... He told us that WE need to fix it. When we moved out he charged us 150$ to fix the dryer. Why are we getting charged for something that didn't even belong to us and that was not even inspected by him when we moved in. On moving out day, I told him about issues with the loft. One major one is that ALL windows leak in air during winter. The personal heaters and his heating system could never keep place above 60 degrees. And during summer it would hit 90+ with no a/c. It made it unbareable to live in it. When I told him that he cussed me out and threatens to call the cops because he felt insulted about me bringing these issues before. Now, he refused to send us our copy of the lease and is refusing to give the security deposit back.
