As outsiders of Detroit, we went to spend the night downtown. This hotel should be called the Phoenix instead of Motocity. When you walk in it feels like you are in a five star hotel. Check in very helpful. The rooms are very modern and VERY clean. Bathtub can fit 2 people easily. Shower and toliets separate eminities. Very nice.

Always clean, always comfortable, always friendly staff. The hotel can't help who comes in to the casino, staff takes good care of it the hotel and casino as well as their guests. Room service food is always good.

We recently spent the night at the Motor City while enjoying a show at Sound Board. Overall, I would have the rate the entire facility as a solid average. The casino was a let down. The smoke-free room was no bigger than our own living room and exceedingly warm. The rest of the casino was very poorly ventilated but did... More

I've been to MotorCity Casino several times, but I recently had my first experience staying at the hotel. Parking is very easy, and I didn't think it was necessary to use the valet service unless you have a lot of luggage. Upon check in I was worried because there was a long line. However, they had several people working, and... More

This was the first time at this hotel and I was very impressed by the rooms. I read that the surrounding area was not so nice and that was very true. I would not venture out on the streets ever. Once inside, however, you were in a completely different place. The security was very good, the lobby was impressive and... More

This is a very very nice hotel, the bathtub was my favorite part! The surrounding area is not so great but once inside it definitely has the wow factor! No plugs by the bed so bring an extension cord unless your cell phone has a really long cord. Not close to any stadiums so you will have to drive or... More

We stayed for two nights at the Motor City Casino Hotel in mid-February. Our room was free from a casino promotion, so I certainly can't complain about the price. There was a fairly long line at check-in but after they realized it was piling up they brought out some more agents and we moved through fairly quickly. The room was... More
