During a trip up to Detroit for a Rams/Lions game we stayed up the entire 3-day weekend. We had a ghetto hotel room we were kind of too scared to go to.. and either of us being scared really says something. We went into Windsor to the casino and stayed there, went to the new Hard Rock in Detroit, and then went to the game and took turns driving home.
Interestingly enough, the hotel we booked at had some history.
Best haunted building
The Leland Hotel
Cass and Bagley, Detroit
Every inch of this beautiful but weathered historical structure is brimming with history – most of it on the grislier side. From the Purple Gang’s alleged shootouts in the impressive lobby to the whisperings of mafia activities in the now-abandoned bar where Hoffa used to hang, there are all sorts of things that go bump in the night here (and not just the goth kids who populate the hotel’s two clubs, The Labyrinth and City Club). Hotel employees have reported strange occurrences (the elevators stopping on certain floors, the occasional rush of freezing cold air in the middle of the summer) and even a few club patrons have claimed a ghostly encounter — which admittedly was the result of too much quality time spent with one of City Club’s notoriously heavy-handed bartenders.
