Beautiful Hotel, too bad its dirty and in the ghetto
We had just booked one night here prior to moving downtown for a ballgame and a concert. It was my 1st ever visit to Detroit. I was honestly trembling when I finally arrived at reception, our town car driver thought it would be okay to jump off the freeway ( constuction) and take us thru the ghetto to get to our hotel faster. I have only ever seen areas like this on movies and was so surprised that they would built such a huge hotel where they did. We were warned to stay inside and not venture out especially after dark. The hotel itself is very grand, lots of security around ( and trust me they need it!) the staff seemed really friendly, I was a little surprised by the clientele at the casino, pretty certain at least a dozen of them were homeless, also some other pretty shady characters floating around, not gambling or purchasing drinks ( can't say I blame them at $4 per beer and $5 per shot!) We ate dinner at the Lodge restaurant, I had mac and cheese ( absolutely disgusting) my husband and son felt their meals were less the mediocre. As for the room itself, its actually quite large , bathroom is beautiful however upon closer inspection its actually quite dirty , dust everywhere, from glass shelving to baseboards, table and in not so obvious places, the curtains had what looked to be blood stains on the them and there was a large stain on the carpet. Have to say thou, we all agreed the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in.Overall could have been a fabulous hotel, however location and cleanliness will keep me away. Too many other options in the city, when travelling I want to be certain that my family is safe and I honestly didn't feel that we were.
