Recommended hotel in Greektown area of Detroit, MI- The Antheneum Hotel

Since I grew up in the Detroit Metropolitan area, I remember going to Greektown years ago to visit ethnic restaurants and other activities. I was lucky enough to come back to Greektown on a recent stay in the Detroit area and I stayed at The Antheneum Hotel.  I was traveling with my son and I noticed right away how friendly everyone was that worked at the hotel.  My son was traveling with a small violin, and a few people asked if my son would play the violin for them, and of course he was beaming!

We also went to the Fishbone Restourant with is right down a hallway, connected to the hotel. It  was a gorgeous restaurant with huge ceilings.

I both stayed here and ate at the restaurant with my son, so both are child friendly, but it both would also be wonderful for a couples retreat since it is right across the street from Greektown Casino and they offer free transportation anywhere within 10 miles from the property.  The property is less than 10 miles from the Riverwalk area,which is a wonderful place to stroll by the water.

This is a beautiful hotel and has a Greek decorating theme which makes it exotic!

Recommened Hotel in Jamestown, CA- The 1859 Jamestown Hotel

The 1859 Hotel is a bed and breakfast and has a historical restaurant and bar downstairs.  This place made me feel like I was in the Gold Rush Days!  In fact, the bar is original!  The place is in downtown Jamestown so is walkable to other restaurants too.
