    Little Cesar's Arena...Cardi B

    This hotel is so beautiful. An older, well kept, hotel that is so beautiful as soon as you walk in! Everyone is so kind and helpful! We unpacked and went down to have a drink. The bartenders and service were unbelievable. Great drinks and his times! Always smiling and happy..we were going to see Cardi B. They ran and got us cardboard and a marker so we could make a sign because I'm 70 we met so many great people here and on the shuttle to the concert! Great times, great fun for a relaxing, exciting weekend!

    The second very sizable concrete pillar and further glass bricks

    I'm pretty sure staying here will induce a David Lynch experience as it has for me. Truly, a bizarre place. There's roughly a 48" diameter pillar in the suite and another one running next to the bed. Glass bricks and mirrors for days. Benches and ledges scattered throughout made out of different materials at different heights from very different time periods. It reminded me of decor and aromas of the late 1980's maybe up to 1991. Nice staff, great valet gentlemen but I would say entirely overhyped. To put it best, the room is like being on an actual film set for an episode of the Golden Girls directed by none other than David Lynch.

    Upon arrival it was a snowing the valet were very nice and accommodating. They helped us with our bags and escorted us to the lobby. Now on to the lobby it was amazingly decorated for Christmas. The staff were all smiles. We went to the room and immediately came back to the lobby bar and restaurant. I ordered fish and chips my goodness was it good! I the tartar sauce was homemade and the best I've ever had! My bestie ordered the chicken sandwich and she said it was good too. The staff at the bar were so accommodating I can't remember the gentleman s name but he was amazing!

    The whole room.

    Whatever you do, try not to get room 412, or most likely any of the *12 rooms. The tv looks like a postage stamp, there is no seating aside from a desk chair, and the TV is basically unwatchable because it's small, and 20' away from the bed. Yes, I measured. Aside from that, the wall heater sounds like a loud broken down car, and the room is cold regardless of how high you set the temp to. Not sure why they put me in an accessible room, when one wasn't requested, and I had been looking forward to the tub. So disappointing.

    Absolute amazing hotel! We booked this hotel fairly last minute and I was very impressed with the staff, the food and our room. Right when we pulled up, we were greeted with the valet. They opened the door and asked if they could take our luggage. The service was very friendly and extremely fast. When we got to our room, we were wowed by the size, layout and all the accommodations. They had a great room service menu and the food was unbelievable. Amazing hotel and fantastic staff!

    I had a splendid time during my stay at the Athenaeum Hotel. I was only there for two nights but that was long enough for me to get a good feel of the place. I arrived the evening of my first night and the check-in process was a breeze. The lobby was beautiful and included plenty of seating as well as a nice bar. My room itself was beautifully decorated, had all the amenities I needed, and the view was nice. The only issue I ran into was the hot water in the sink wasn't working, it was spitting out water really choppy and wouldn't get warm. No worries, except for my face being cold when I washed it. During my stay I ordered room service both nights because I was so busy during the stay that it was the best way to go when I was finally able to grab dinner. The first night I got mac and cheese and a salad and the mac was on point. The next night I ordered the salmon and it was delicious. I'll also add that the valet was quick and everyone from the receptionist to the gentleman that delivered my food to the room were lovely. I would definitely stay again.

    I found myself staying here for 3 nights for a conference in downtown Detroit. I had a fine stay here but one that falls somewhat short of a five-star experience. First, the positives. The room is absolutely massive. I don't recall having stayed in a room of that size in a very, very long time. Second, cleanliness. The room was well-cleaned, and the bathtub was clean and inviting enough that I ended up enjoying a relaxed bath twice in the span of three days - something I rarely get to do at my house. Third, the presence of a courtesy shuttle that was available to take hotel guests anywhere within a short distance of the hotel. Fourth and finally, they have an in-house restaurant. I had dinner on the first night that I got there, and it was great. The spicy chicken sandwich at $15 is one of the best bargains that I have recently come across in an era of rampant inflation. Along with taxes and tips, my HUGE dinner which likely added a full inch to my ever-growing waistline, came to only $28! Now, the reasons for taking off a star. First, the staff could have been more polite. I found the shuttle drivers in general, but especially the one I had on my very last day to be quite brusque. Also, the lady who checked me in on the first day should have indicated that there was going to be a hold for $300 - $100 per each night of stay - but I don't believe she had pointed that out. It is only when I came back to the reception puzzled by why I had been charged more than $800 for my stay that she informed me of that rule. Second, they missed my wake-up call on the very first night that I stayed at the hotel. I had asked for a wake-up call at 8:00 but I don't believe that ever came. The third and final point is a minor one, but I am noting here in my review. For the second morning that I was here, I requested an in-room breakfast for 8:00 a.m. The breakfast did not come at 8:00 but it came closer to 8:15 seriously inconveniencing me. The person who brought up my food indicated that she was there at 7:55 but because I was not yet out of bed, I don't think I ever heard her knock. However, in my estimation, she should not have waited until 8:15 to bring the meal but should have delivered the meal at 8:00, as was requested. Finally, I had used up the slip in my room to request the breakfast that morning. Even though I stayed for one more night, the hotel did not provide me with another slip on which I could put in an order for in-room breakfast for the last morning I was there. All in all, while I had a fine stay at The Atheneum and would be perfectly happy to consider staying here again, to the extent that the hotel wants to get outstanding reviews from guests - as opposed to ones that are merely good- it could train its staff better and nudge them/ encourage them to be more polite and courteous to their guests.

    My husband wanted to have a quick stay-cation and booked us a room at Atgeneum Suite Hotel. We were both rather excited when we arrived. The lobby is huge and we'll decorated with plenty of places to sit. We were able to check in early, which was nice. We opted to park our car in a pay to park lot kitty corner from the hotel, as it was only $12/day versus $35 for valet. We headed up to our room, which was quite large. We had a separate living room with a TV, and a king bed with TV. The bathroom was large, and a little dated if I'm being honest. As we walked out of the hotel on our way to find some food, we noticed a hand full of people checking in. Still, it did not at all appear to be booked up. When we got back, we enjoyed the large bath and watched TV. So far, so good. The bed was uncomfortable and somewhat lumpy in areas, but we did our best to make it work. Then, at 11:30pm, we were awoken by a very loud group of folks that had checked into the room directly next to us, that shared a wall. They were yelling, banging doors, and whatnot. It sounded like they were in our room with us. It was insufferable. They did not quiet down until about 4am. My husband was so upset from the lack of sleep due to the folks on the other side of the wall. We tried for a few hours of sleep, then left around 6:30am. It's sad that the hotel staff decided to place those folks right next door when it was obvious that other rooms were vacant on the same floor. We will avoid this place in the future.

    What a beautiful experience we had staying at Atheneum Suite Hotel!! We stayed for 5 nights for a funeral. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is so pleasant! They are friendly and so helpful. Our house keeping staff member Jasmine left us a kind note and was always so helpful and friendly. Cory, the door man was also always so happy, helpful and kind. He consistently went out of his way to make each day stress free. He always put a smile on our face. Angie, at The Symposium restaurant was also so kind and helpful. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic too. Eric our server is a sommelier. His knowledge of wine was incredible. This hotel is so fortunate to have such an amazing staff!! The lobby was warm, welcoming and large. It is attractively decorated. The rooms are very clean and spacious. We loved the walkways to the rooms which felt like an atrium. The room has a refrigerator, coffee maker, iron and ironing board, which was so helpful for such a long stay. The food and service in the bar was outstanding. I highly recommend eating in the hotels main restaurant, The Symposium. The food and service were a 10!! It's a meal I will never forgot. I highly recommend this hotel!!

Located in an old downtown office building with a four-story atrium, they've converted the offices on the first 5 or 6 floors into hotel rooms.

Hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, if a litte overwhelmed on a game day ... the first room they assigned us was already occupied. After straightening that out, it was pretty smooth sailing. Nice appointments in the rooms, comfortable bed, great views of the baseball park. Valet took care of the car, so we could just walk to the game and not have parking problems. There is a dining facility off the atrium (Preseley's Kitchen & Bar), so once you're here you can stay.

This property is housed in the 1925 Metropolitan Building, a stunning Neo-Gothic "Jeweler's Building" that sat vacant for nearly 40 years. Seeing it restored to its former glory rather than being demolished is a win for the city.  The entrance lobby and the grand stairway to the second floor are phenomenal--the restoration team clearly put a lot of heart into preserving the marble and the ornate details. Because the hotel has to conform to the original historic footprint, the rooms are unique and oddly shaped. It was a refreshing change of pace to stay somewhere that broke out of the usual "cookie-cutter" hotel mold. My room featured a long internal hallway, a small kitchenette, and enough windows to provide a fantastic view of the Detroit skyline.  Check-in was seamless, and the staff were excellent throughout my stay. I initially considered subtracting a star because my room lacked a steamer, but the breakfast service won me back. The made-to-order omelets and the yogurt granola station were top-notch, and that high-quality start to the day made up for any minor room omissions. If you appreciate architecture with a history and a bit of character, this is definitely the place to stay in Detroit.

    I know Hotel Saint Regis has received some mixed reviews, so I wanted to share my experience…read morebecause my particular stay was a very positive one. This is an older historic hotel rather than a brand-new luxury property, and I think understanding that before arriving makes a difference. I actually enjoyed the fact that the hotel has its own history and personality instead of feeling exactly like every other modern hotel. One of my favorite things about staying here was the location. The Fisher Building and Fisher Theatre are extremely close, and getting around this part of Detroit is convenient. If you're coming to the area for a show or simply want to explore more of the city, the location can be a major advantage. My room was actually very good, and I particularly appreciated the good view from my window at Floor 5. I realize other reviewers have reported different experiences, so I can only judge the room that I personally received. The employees were also very passionate and nice. Good customer service can completely change how a hotel stay feels, and the employees cleaned the trash. That made me feel welcomed rather than like I was simply another room number. I also really enjoyed knowing that I was staying somewhere with genuine Detroit history. The Saint Regis has been around since the 1960s and has hosted some remarkable guests over the decades. There aren't many hotels where the history itself becomes part of the experience. Would I call this a flawless, ultra-modern luxury hotel? No. It's an older property, and based on other reviews, experiences can clearly vary between rooms. But five stars represents my own experience, and my stay gave me exactly what I needed: great view, Impractical Jokers show on TV, and a silly hat and sunglasses from a store nearby. For its history, convenient New Center location and the positive experience I personally had, I'm happy to give Hotel Saint Regis five stars.

Because I had to find accommodations at the last minute, I ended up paying approximately double for another hotel. I was especially disappointed because this property was advertised as renovated. Based on the room I was assigned, that description did not match what I personally experienced. To make matters worse, I am now having to go through an extended process trying to obtain a refund even though I checked out immediately and never stayed in the room. Travelers should know about my experience before booking. Had the room been in acceptable condition or another room been available, this could have been handled very differently. Unfortunately, neither was the case, and I cannot recommend this hotel.
