Pros:

The casino is HUGE.. and lots of new games. The hotel itself was beautiful and walking in to the lobby was impressive. We stayed in room 604 and it was a suite. Large room great bathroom shower but the room was VERY DATED. The light switch covers n plug covers are 2000 almond dingy the wallpaper is down right depressing. The room in all was a 3 at best. It 100000% needs to be updated, new decor colors and furniture. It wasnt dusted the windows were greasy n printed. The TV built in was nasty with webs n peeling veneer. The rooms for 600 a night DEFINITELY NEED TO BE CLEANED BETTER AND UPDATED..

Worst hotel experience ever
Pros:

Rooms are disgusting, carpets and towels are stained, stuck hair in shower drains, leaking fixtures, ripped curtains and staff that becomes offended when you raise your voice because you refuse to move a third time in less than 24 hours

Food desert
Pros:

At $675 a night for a suite it was shocking that the only lunch options were pizza or burgers. No sit down options whatsoever. Tigers playoff game and all hotel restaurants were closed. Only decaf coffee in the room. Two tiny waters, no glassware, no bottle opener, no mini-bar. Felt a lot like a Motel Six attached to a casino....

Pros:

The hotel was really nice. It gave resort vibes. Everyone was friendly. It was actually bigger than I thought. It was definitely a lot going on, There were plenty options in the food court Nice art including paintings and sculptures throughout the hotel. I would've given the hotel a 5-star review if it wasn't for the hair in my bed. Everything else was very clean. They offer complimentary valet parking and thev also have a shuttle service that drop off and pick up at the Little Ceasars Arena. There were plenty of towels and rags in the rooms along with a bathrobe and house shoes. Mv other complaint other than the hair that didn't beling to me in mv bed was the outlets. There wasn't any outlets by the beds to plug up my phone. The hotel is in a central location near plenty of restaurants. I felt safe for the most part. When I was dropped off by the shuttle, there was a homeless man standing there using the bathroom near the bench of the hotel entrance then he sat down after making sexual comments to me. I had a really nice view of the
city from my room.

Pros:

The room was not cleaned properly. The bath tub even after cleaning it still had things floating in the water after I filled it up. The bathroom sink never went down. It stay clogged the whole time. After speaking to customer service they offered nothing and it was still clogged after I checked out.

Pros:

This hotel was pretty and very nice. I loved the bathroom and deep tub. The only negative that genuinely ewed me was the condition of the carpeting. It was very dirty appearing all over. If they replace that, 5 stars. I did have a credit for one of the resturants and was hoping to use it for breakfas, sadly during the weekday there is nothing open that early. I was there for a Music Soulchild concert.i really enjiyed the atmosphere. Woukd do again. Thank you!
