I had a fantastic stay at the Hotel David Whitney; the unique architecture and historical vibe really set it apart. The staff, particularly at check-in, were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, my experience with valet parking left a lot to be desired, as my car came back with scratches, which was frustrating and remains unresolved. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the comfort and service, but I hope for a smoother valet experience next time.

My stay at Hotel David Whitney was a blend of charm and a few hiccups. The decor and historical elements truly transport you back in time while the location couldn't be more ideal for exploring downtown Detroit. However, service issues such as the charging errors, along with a fragile bathroom door, took away from an otherwise wonderful experience.
