Living room with fireplace through the double door. Waiting here..
Aifay H.

So far we've waited for little more than 4 hours to get a cleaned room. They said they would text us around 4 when it's ready. Still waiting here after a whole hour . We drove here from Ohio. It was a 31/2 drive. Got in around noon. Been sitting by the reception area since. Had a quick lunch at Tap restaurant. Food was Meh, cold, chicken wings, onion rings. The clam chowder was over heated. Don't go there. Horrible cafeteria food that they overcharge you. What is it about this place that has such a terrible service? Especially the front desk. First person didn't know anything and second one after 4 invited me to wait at the living room at least. Didn't even know there was a living room with a fireplace to sit at. The group that came after me have all gotten their rooms and left. Still waiting here..giving two stars because I'm still alive. Overheard someone who just said "what kind of sh*t show are they running? Are they gonna call you when the room is ready?" I'm still wondering..

Cute Halloween display 10-25.

MGM is definitely the most beautiful/fanciest casino out of all three Detroit casinos. MGM charges for parking when there's an event going on downtown unless you're Pearl status or higher. It's a bummer because the parking is free at the other two local casinos. The steakhouse at MGM is excellent. I had a ribeye cooked to perfection. You'll pay some $$$ but that's expected at a high end casino steakhouse. The hotel is very nice. Rooms are modern, clean, and spacious. Again, expect to pay quite a bit even on a quiet weekday ($300 and up) for just their basic room. For the most part MGM is completely smoke free except for special designated rooms. You won't smell any smoke unless you go on the designated smoking rooms. For me I just don't have any luck here. The times I've come up here I've lost my money quickly. If a casino wants to get you to come back they need to offer better perks and MGM hasn't really made the juice worth the squeeze as the saying goes. If you're looking for glitz and glamour this is your place. If you're looking to stretch your dollar and have more of an authentic Detroit experience check out Hollywood Casino in historic Greektown.

Celebrated our daughters 21st Birthday with family at the casino! We parked in the garage, FREE, then headed inside to the rewards desk where daughter signed up for a card and got $10 in free play for her bday! She even got a free spin at one of the kiosks. After playing a bit we all headed over to eat at TAP. The food and staff were amazing! We ended the night at the bar, and watched the live entertainment! Amazing night, highly recommend! There were 9 of us at the table to eat at TAP and they made us put it on one bill + 18% gratuity.

Wish I could give this 6/5 stars if I could. Exceptional, amazing property that offers free parking which many places don't. Fantastic food options, and the staff seems happy and treats you with amazing customer service. Good service in the industry is hard to find these days. Poker room is phenomenal and professional. Hotel is great too, but expensive on the weekends. I travel to make this my primary destination. Amazing job staff!

Front desk with my package from door dash and the same woman saying she's not responsible

The customer service is piss poor. I've never been to a hotel that won't ring you or hold your delivery from door dash or Uber Eats, and instead lets anyone just take your stuff or they keep it for themselves. As per my experience with my Walgreens delivery from door dash. It literally has my room number on the order when I place it. And I was spending over $100 for the second night in a row at the D Prime steak house for just myself. Didn't realize it was too much to ask for them to hold a package delivered for me until I was done with dinner on the way to my room. Won't ever stay at this hotel again, in Detroit, that's for sure. I'm an MGM member too. Disappointed and highly do not recommend. The walk is too far from the conference center - .7 miles - which yes, doesn't seem far for the body but is too far for DETROIT. And uber each way is $10-$16 and a long wait.

It is a very nice hotel with a casino. It's very clean and the shower in the room was the best shower I have ever had in my room. They have garage parking or you can do valet parking. There are a couple of different restaurants you can choose for food. The staff was very nice. Greg W, who works in the casino, is awesome. He went out of his way to find me coffee, and I appreciate that so much. They were in the middle of a remodel when we were there, but there were still plenty of games to play. I hope to be back.

Located in downtown Detroit. There's a self park garage located to the right of Casino. This MGM Grand is not as big as The Las Vegas chain, but all the perks are still available. The food court is available 24/7 and is a great one stop shop for all kinds of food. Bring your luck and A game for a night of adult fun to win some money.

Ask the Community - MGM Grand

Do casino have Bingo?

Unfortunately they dont

Do they have Keno live and/or video?

I think it’s live

Are they still on strike?

Unsure at the moment. ...just don't take MGM's word on anything if you don't live close by. - You'll be sorry you did. I might suggest looking at Detroit newspapers online to get honest information about what is currently going on there.

Is the casino open thanksgiving day?

Yes. 24/7 365 days.

Do the hotel rooms have bathtubs?

Some just have stand up showers besides the jacuzz suites.

Blackjack in person dealer rather than machine or video?

Yes. Real live dealers!

Are alcoholic drinks complimentary while gambling?

No not in Detroit casinos. Only Vegas that I know of.

Is breakfast included?

Palette opens Monday and Tuesday at 4PM. Wednesday through Saturday 11AM. Sunday 9AM. I do not believe dining to be included with lodging. Good luck, hope you need an armored truck service to haul your winnings home!

We have never been here at all and not too sure on what to wear. We're going to the Wolfgang punk restaurant. What would you recommend We wear?

Wolfgang Puck is the nicest restaurant at MGM. We "dressed up" when we went. There are casually dressed diners also. Many use their comps to pay for the meal.

What are the parking options? Is there valet, if so how much?

The options are self parking or valet. The valet is complimentary.

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. The rest of the building is converted into residences ... and nice ones at that. We were here for a Tigers game on a nice warm Friday night. The hotel and surrounding area were really jumping. 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. All in all a nice setup and visit ... just keep in mind you're downtown and near a MLB park ... so for sleeping at night, it is very noisy.

I'm a huge fan of hotels that breathe new life into historic structures, and the Element in Detroit…read moreis a perfect example. 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.

There are five homes including a Carriage House that are gorgeous! They were built in the 1800s by Detroits affluent. Each house has several rooms with en suite bathrooms. There are many architecturally pleasing designs with each home. There are turrets, covered porches, beveled glass, etc. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. While there I found out they just recently reopened after being closed during the pandemic.

I noticed a space heater in the closet, but I was only there to sleep and enjoy a lower temp for that anyhow, so my Michigan spring stay worked out well. A lot of amenities you might expect to find in a modern hotel (coffee maker, clock, phone) are non-existent in your room, but do exist in the common room of each building. My personally experienced drawbacks were that some shades would not move up or down, very little toilet paper and tissue paper in the room, and some housekeeping neglect in the corners. Overall, a 3-4 star experience, but I am leaning towards 4.

New Center, North End

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.

The carpet was filthy that we had to request that they have it cleaned or at least covered with a dance floor. There was no dance floor available. The carpet also had snagged fibers sticking up in various areas which is a risk management liability for a fall. The white chairs were in pretty bad shape with tears, dirt and some of the cushions actually separating from the base of the chairs. Another risk management liability. Several of the hotel black tablecloths had visible stains that we requested to be replaced by housekeeping. Whoever setup the room had to have seen the stains and just put them on the table anyway. They just didn't care was being presented to us for our hard earn dollars. The self-parking was $7 one night and $20 the next night. The lot filled up pretty fast with hotel guests and our gala attendees then needed to find nearby lots or street parking options. Although valet prices are posted, I never saw any valet staff. This hotel also does not allow kitchen access for any caterers. You must order drapes to curtain off a prep area for the caterer with them doing most of the prep outdoors at the exit to the rear hotel parking lot. This also means there are no food services other than a vending machine near the check-in counter for hotel guests. Booking teams be aware!

We explained that we were hotel guests and asked if we could simply get a drink to enjoy in the lobby, but they wouldn't allow that either. For the price, there are much better options nearby. Rooms at Shinola are roughly the same price, but are significantly larger and nicer, with multiple food and drink options. They also allow guests to enjoy a drink in the lobby or take it back to their room. It's disappointing to see how much this property has changed since our last stay. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be making the mistake of staying here again.
