On Fridays, Ricky works summer hours, so we were able to hit the road by the early afternoon. The Motor City Casino Hotel graciously hosted our stay and provided us with a special anniversary dinner at their hotel restaurant Iridescence. Since we were only staying overnight, I didn’t want to jam-pack our schedule with too many activities, but I knew we had to hit up some landmarks like Eastern Market. The food and beverage scene alone is worth a trip–so many tasty places to visit! While there are some dicey areas, it’s truly the comeback city. You see the Anthony Bourdain special or Vice and think the worst of the city. Through media, I feel there is quite a misconception of the status of Detroit. We’ve been in Michigan for 5 years now and Ricky has never been to Detroit, aside from a Tigers game. Since our wedding anniversary was in May, we wanted to have a special overnight trip. From Grand Rapids to Detroit is just over a 2 hour drive–not bad at all. One of the many things I love about Michigan is how different the scenery is from coast to coast. Our 24 hour anniversary trip to Detroit, staying at the beautiful MotorCity Casino Hotel. The Wrest Point has developed a new fresh energy that really conveys a genuine Welcoming vibe.Disclaimer: We were provided accommodations and dinner courtesy of the MotorCity Casino Hotel. So we will definitely stay here again- these upper floor Suites are wonderful and we are more than happy to recommend. We started to recognise the familiar Faces and Names and every staff member we have met has been so natural and friendly yet still maintaining a consummate professionalism.

We rate it an excellent in every way.Īnother thing we wanted to say is- how lovely all the Hotel Staff are. There is nothing in this Room that we would criticise, complain or feel compromised about. We booked Room 1506 which is a brand new huge tastefully decorated Panama a Suite. However, this time for some reason I looked properly on the Hotel website and found these beautiful Suites. However, no desire to stay there as love the Beautiful renovated cottages on air bnb. However over the past decade at least we were finding ourselves coming there to eat there regularly as it is great quality, well priced and easy parking.

Having Tasmanian Roots we visit Tasmania often but in the past wouldn’t have considered staying at this Hotel.
