Hollywood Casino at Greektown

8/10 Good

"The Hotel was clean & comfortable. Unfortunately, I probably won’t stay there again. The gaming floor smells horrible from smokers! As an Oncology RN, I feel that your employees should not have to be exposed to that, day after day! If you would only see what I have from caring for Cancer patients, you’d think twice! I’ve been to Casinos that have a closed off area for people that smoke. Great idea!"

Detroit Foundation Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome. Super clean and felt top notch"

Trumbull and Porter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean nice room. Short walk to both our dinner and breakfast spot. Had a bar, super easy to get to car, and snacks available too. What more could you want. Did not use the restaurant so can’t speak to it. Cute trendy clean place. The button was missing on the throw pillow and it looked crappy so I’d get rid of that. But that’s nothing."
