The hotel itself is actually quite nice, but Detroit still has some work to do when it comes to sprucing up their downtown. The interior is slightly dated and shows its age with a crooked light cover or scuffed door here and there, but don't let that stop you, as overall it is a nice place. The staff was polite and the courtesy shuttle was immediately available both mornings of my stay to take me to my conference at the GM Rennaissance Center. I registered at the hotel using my company's corporate account but upon checking in was bumped up to a very nice complimentary junior suite with a king-size bed, jacuzi-style bathtub, two large, flat-screen TVs and free high-speed Internet. My only complaints are that the room I had was right next to the ice machine which I could hear through the adjacent wall while working on the computer and fact that the room was slightly warm. However, the bedroom had its own A/C so it was very comfortable. The hotel is located next to the Greektown Casino and Greektown entertainment district. Be warned that there are lots of panhandlers on the street and the casino patrons themselves tend be pretty scummy. During the day I walked the 3-4 blocks to/from my conference and felt perfectly safe. However, at night I'm not sure I would recommend it. But once inside the hotel everything was fine.

The hotel advertises free transportation but my husband and I were denied transportation. They tell you transportation if free within a five mile radius, but we were denied. We paid too much money a night for our room, not to receive everything that the hotel offers. I would never stay here again. While sitting in the lobby the shuttle did take off with someone in it, but it was not me and my husband. They don't honor there advertised free transportation - you will be DENIED.

I visited this hotel to attend the Lions - Bears game on 9/30/07. This hotel was in the perfect location. Less than a 10 minute walk to Ford Field, a 2 minute walk to Greektown Casino, and other night spots. Very close to the tunnel to Canada. I will definately recommend this hotel to any of my clients that visiting Downtown Detroit. Excellent and responsive Guest Services! Fishbones is attached to the hotel and I enjoyed a great Gameday Buffet! The rooms need 2007-08 update in terms of decor, but this is me being nit-picky as my overall experience was top notch!

The entry way, lobby and bar areas are all updated and nice looking, but the rooms are in need of some renovations. They are a bit outdated and the beds are not that comfortable. The location was great and so was the service. All of the staff members were helpful and curtious.

Wife and I traveled to Detroit to complete immigration process. Looked through numerous hotel reviews on-line and finding the first page of many hotel reviews to be promising only to find darker reviews after viewing additional pages. Not so with this hotel, and true to its reputation, we had a wonderful time. The staff looked after us very well, making sure we were safe and comfortable. We asked for the Casino package as part of our reservation and were very happy with the package including the restaurant coupons. We were guided to our choice of restaurants and even shuttled to and from our immigration appointment after we had already checked out. The manager should be proud of his excellent staff. If you go to go to Detroit, why not treat yourself!
