I spent one night at the Hollywood ****** at Greektown. I did not visit the ******. I was looking for a nice place to stay for the night. The hotel grounds were 4-stars. I arrived around 7 PM. It took some time to check in because I had to wait for a number of others who qualified for the VIP check-in line.
I stayed in a basic, twin queen room. The room and bathroom were nice and modern. Shortly after getting into my room, bright exterior lights turned on - shining in the direction of my room. I couldn't see what they were illuminating, but if I had to guess, it was perhaps the hotel name written on the exterior. Those lights stayed on all night. The drapes didn't completely cover the windows, so my room was illuminated all night. The room stayed one temperature despite what the thermostat was set to. There was an intermittent hum coming from the in-wall heater as if it was revving up. I ultimately slept with earplugs.
I am have been able to overlook the illuminated room, dysfunctional thermostat, and intermittent hum if I was there for other reasons than to sleep, like to visit the ******, or go out.

• The owners are growing their brand and currently renovating this property. • The owner seems to genuinely care about the property, the guests and the quality of service. • Overall the front desk staff is professional and cordial; but, there is on bad apple in the bunch - - a guy who is imperious and overbearing and who acts as if the guests are somehow beneath him. If you ever get flagged as a ”bad guest,” it was done by this guy; check your credit card bill for a ”ghost charge” (i.e. one you did not make or authorize). • Given time, this property may be a quality go-to boutique hotel. Hopefully, without any ”bad apples”.
