Unless you have to be in the area where the hotel is located, just try some other option. Indeed, and as mentioned in several reviews, the rooms are quite big, very big, and for someone used to travel to London or NY, the difference is amazing, but this is the only pro I find at this hotel. Rooms are aged... More

The hotel located in Greektown next to the Greektown Casino. Large two room suites. The hotel seems to be showing some age. Went with a group for business and the rates were very reasonable. Staff was very friendly. Also they will shuttle you on their bus up to 5 miles.

The Atheneum is conveniently located in Greektown. The suites sleep four or five comfortably and have a unique design with stairs separating the living room from bedroom. The bathroom has a funky glass block shower. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. This is our first choice when traveling to Detroit.

Great value for the price. The room was big, clean, and conveniently located for dinning and a Tigers game afterwards. The staff were exceedingly kind and helpful, and the fact that the hotel connects with Fishbones (a great place in Greektown) made it a great choice for a night's stay.

I stayed at the Atheneum on a Thursday evening for business. At midnight I was woke by a huge party next door to my room. The music, screaming, TV, and banging of the doors was so loud I couldn't even drown it out with my TV and and Air Conditioner on at the same time. At 12:15am, I decided to... More

Located within the heart of Greektown, it is within walking distance to several restaurants and a 2 minute walk from the casino. There's really not much else to do in Detroit besides its casinos. The rooms are okay. They give you a bed, a decent living room area, and washroom - the room does its job but nothing fancy. Room... More

We were looking for a place in Greektown last minute. Check out our computer and found a great deal for a place called The Atheneum.

I've always been impressed with the great service and comfortable rooms at the Atheneum. The staff treated us like royalty. The location is great. Its an easy walk to any attraction in Greektown and is across the street from the Greektown Casino. If Greektown isn't your thing, the nation's biggest Buffalo Wild Wings is just a block away. Its not... More

I work in Detroit and know it's not a very appealing city for tourism. But this hotel is the jem of the city! My brother got married at The Whitney and we all booked rooms at The Atheneum for after. What a perfect choice. The location is great, the rooms are wonderful, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, 2 huge plasma TV's... More
