We went to Detroit for an overnight getaway at Greektown Casino. To stay at one of the casinos is well over $250/night and we just didn't have that kind of cash on short notice. I found this hotel in the suburb of Farmington Hills on the recommendation of a friend and hotels.com.

The hotel is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurant choices right near the hotel including a highly rated sushi restaurant in the plaza directly across the driveway (Sushi Ko). Check-in was a breeze--we arrived at approximately 6 pm. The elevator was not working but we only had overnight bags and were on the second floor so that did not bother us. The lobby is very well laid out with two separate sitting areas, one with a fireplace and plenty of comfortable chairs and one with a bigscreen tv and more comfy chairs.

The room had a king sized bed in it, a working temperature control, a small desk/table with 2 chairs, a dresser, a nice sized closet with a door that actually closed and had a full length mirror on it. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom. The bathroom itself had plenty of shelf space and the shower had nice water pressure and one of t hose rods that curves out to give you the illusion of having more space in there which is nice for those that are borderline claustrophobic. Water glasses were available as well as an ice bucket.

This hotel is located about 15-20 minutes from Greektown Casino and it was very easy to get to and from it. We ate dinner at Steak and Ale next door to the hotel and I probably would not eat there again. It was overpriced and I've had better food at Ponderosa. Instead, I would eat down in the Greektown neighborhood. It reminds me a bit of Little Italy in Cleveland.

I booked this via hotels.com and including tax, paid just over $60. I think that is a GREAT deal.
