Some friends of mine were staying at this hotel in Detroit where we were meeting up to see a concert. I stayed with them for one night as the show was just down the street. The hotel and casino is new and quite beautiful. Check-in was seamless as we were there at the appropriate time. The room, along with the rest of the hotel, was decorated beautifully with updated and modern fixtures and amenities. The bathroom was similar to one of the swanky bathrooms in the rooms at Bellagio Las Vegas (a favorite of mine): separate marble shower with soaking tub. Very impressive. There's a food court to get a quick breakfast or lunch if on the go. Also, we stayed on a Thursday night and the casino was jumping. It seemed like a lively place to hang out if you like gambling and/or drinking. The staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. One note, you will encounter the staff/security often during your visit. This lovely hotel/casino is in a transitional neighborhood to put it nicely. It seemed a little scary, but I felt very safe inside the hotel. The staff does not let people wander aimlessly through their establishment. You must show a room key in order to get to the elevators to the guest rooms. They will ask to see ID when you walk into the casino. If you're sitting in the lobby charging your cell phone (as I was before my journey home), security will nicely ask if you're okay. I assume this is done for the safety of the guests and patrons, and the staff couldn't have been nicer while doing their job. I didn't pay for the room, but my friend told me that it was an extremely reasonable rate. If that's the case when you book, consider this hotel because it truly does have upscale amenities. Just make sure you have a car (there is free parking) to visit some other areas of the city.
