How is this hotel still in business? And how do they get away with charging $90+ a night? If not carpet, no working lights, no working phones and hallways riddled with graffitti (specifically gang related graffitti) is your preference then the Leland is the place for you. There are so many thing wrong with this establishment I dont' even know... more

I don't know where to start. The Leland got the job done. The military prepared me for this stay so I can't totally down grade the whole experience. We needed a place to stay for the weekend to enjoy our steeler game. i still don't know where to start. wow. I want to start with the positives first. After reading... more

Some friends and I checked in on 10/30/08 and went out to dinner. In the less than 2 hours we were gone, our room was robbed of everything we had in it, from empty beer cans to 3 digital cameras and iPods. The hotel refuses to help me in any way and they originally told me that we had "robbed... more

My boyfriend and I stay at The Leland every Memorial Day weekend. There is a massive 3 day long electronic festival in Hart Plaza that weekend. We live in Detroit but it’s a 20 min commute to get downtown so we stay down there for it. I guess we are just jaded to the filthiness and danger of the city.... more

Arrived to check in to find that the hotel was overbooked for twin rooms and only had double rooms left. Receptionist was unhelpful in every way possible. I couldn't be bothered with a stooshy at this point as we were tired from the long distance traveling and I didn't think it would get us anywhere. Oh, and the lobby had... more

The Leland is not for family travelers, business or those who are the faint of heart. I suspect this hotel was a gem at one time. However, it hasn't been redecorated since FDR was president. Several of the above reviews talk about the obvious pitfalls of the Leland. However, all is not lost if your a rock n roller! The... more

Four friends and I (all mid-20s) stayed here for the Lions v Packers game and found the location to be great as it is a short walk to the stadium. Unfortunately, the downtown area is so depressed there was nothing happening on a Saturday night except the lobby bar at the Holiday Inn Express down the road. I suppose we... more

We stayed at the Leland when we visited Detroit for the "Prince" Naseem Hamed v Caesar Soto fight and were pretty happy with the property for one night. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done for one night. It is true that The Leland is an older property, but it was more than adequate for our short stay. The property... more

First of all, I would like to thank Tripadvisor for letting me post this review, as Hotels.com and other various sites wouldn't allow me because I didn't book through them. As two males in our late 20's we needed a place to stay for the Red Bull Air Races in Detroit. After visiting numerous sites, comparing costs with location and... more
