From check-in to check-out, I was impressed with Greektown. The lobby was beautiful and I felt very safe knowing that security guards were located at the hotel elevators and you had to show your room key in addition to having to slide your room key to access the elevator. The young lady, Madonna, that checked us in was genuinely sweet and answered all of our silly tourist questions with ease. She set us up in Room 2723 on the 27th floor with a city view. We could see the river, Canada and a lot of Detroit and, from that view, Detroit was lovely!
Our room was very clean and modernly decorated. The bed was comfortable (wonderful pillows, also) and I slept well. I didn't notice any noise from other patrons at all. When we first entered our floor, I was really thirsty and wanted to buy a beverage. I noticed that there were no vending machines, and I found that to be odd. In every room there is a small refrigerator with snacks and beverages. The prices are clearly listed and very reasonable with sodas being $1.50, beer $3-4 and mini liquors $4 and up. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was roomy with a nice, adjustable rain showerhead.
We ate two meals at the hotel. We opted for the $12.99 buffet dinner and it was pretty standard. I really enjoyed the shrimp fajitas and my boyfriend enjoyed the lamp. What we did not enjoy was the way we were seated. It appears as though they only let people in a few at a time and while there were clearly open tables, we waited 30 minutes to be seated along with many other people. On the other hand, breakfast at Bistro 555 (free with our stay) was delicious! Highly recommended, even if it isn't complimentary!
There really was an overall Vegas vibe to the place. Most people seemed to be in good spirits and really enjoying their stay. We had easy access to the People Mover and to a great selection of restaurants, bars and other fun places! We made a stop at the North American International Auto Show and it was a $1.00/per person 15 minute ride!
If you are looking for a laid-back and fun place to hang with your significant other for the night, this is the place! Great value (free breakfast and $10/pp in casino play) at $25!
