We enjoyed our stay here. The room was large and comfortable. The property blends modern furnishings while maintaining its old charm well. It was kind of expensive, but I guess the market sets the rate.
I absolutely recommend you stay at the El Moore Lodge when traveling to Detroit. The building has all the modern amenities, but still has the historic charm/feel you want. The staff is very friendly, tons of places close by you can walk to for food and drinks, and superb coffee every morning for you to enjoy.

Our 3-night stay at El Moore was wonderful. The Lodge is located in a historic neighborhood in Detroit, just a short walk from some nice restaurants and shops, and also walking distance from the beautiful main library and several museums. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable, and each morning we had a continental breakfast in the charming dining area downstairs. The staff members were warm and welcoming. (A special shout-out to Ms. K, who graciously and patiently took the time to untangle my necklace so I could wear it to an evening event. ) We can’t wait to come back.
