Great room, great location, but expensive for the service. Staff appeared to be helpful during checkin, but wasn't as helpful when we needed items, like water glasses, or a key that worked. Had to return twice to front desk to get a key that worked. Had to go to a separate floor for ice. Ordered roomservice for breakfast. First it... More

We stayed at The Atheneum on suggestion from friends. Close to Comerica Park. For the price, breakfast should have be an actual breakfast. Would be nice to have a refrigerator in the room to keep drinks or leftovers cold. Would be nice to have learned about the iPrefer program to save us $40 buck on parking. Our room had 2... More

Just returned from a wonderful stay at The Atheneum in Detroit. The entire staff was great, and really wanted to be sure we enjoyed out visit. If you sign up for the iPrefer program, you will receive complimentary parking. We even received a certificate for one free breakfast at Fishbones, a restaurant attached to the hotel. You can walk right... More

My fiance and i were having a night on the town and gave this hotel a try. The value is great! Our room was huge and had a great jacuzzi tub, excellent price. The best part is you can walk right into fishbones through the lobby and have dinner, drinks, and see live entertainment. A fantastic time! More

Despite its being in Detroit, the Atheneum was fine. A bit expensive, but conveniently located. Housekeeping was good and responsive. Fishbones downstairs is a good place to have nearby. More

The Atheneum is a good choice in a city that really does not have many decent hotels. Rooms are big and have decent beds. Lobby is a little dated, and the staff is a little indifferent, but the hotel overall is pretty good. Location is convenient to some restaurants in Greektown, and sports stadiums are very close by.

We actually cancelled our reservations at another hotel to stay an extra night in the Atheneum. The suite had a refreshing floor plan, the service was extremely friendly, and the complimentary shuttle bus and valet service was very useful for anything not in walking distance. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The couch was a little small and uncomfortable... More

Went to Detroit for a concert at the Filmore. This hotel has a free shuttle to take you where you want to go. Great feature since it was raining/sleeting. It is really ornate in an acient Greece way, but why not, it is in Greektown (-: Suite was really large and modern. Two Flat screen TVs. Couch was a little... More

Stayed here over the weekend. Check in was under 5 minutes. No line, there are multiple desks to check you in. Staff was very helpful answering a few questions. We were in a hurry to get to a show but were starving so I called room service to see what the wait time was on some food. They said about... More
