I'm heading to Detroit this weekend. The plan is to arrive Saturday at 130am and spend the night in the Four Points at the Airport then head into downtown on Saturday morning to check out the auto show.
For Saturday night I'm trying to decide between two scenarios:
1.) Take up Hotwire.com on their $69 room rate for a 4-star hotel in Downtown Detroit. My questions is, how hard is it to get from DTW to downtown without blowing $100 on cabs. I see there's a bus #125 that runs from the airport into the city but I want to avoid running into any Eminem wannabes that wanna stick me for my paper. Are there any SuperShuttle-esqe services that can get me into town?
2.) Rent a car and drive into downtown, then drive back at the end of the day and spend Sat night at the Four Points again. This sounds boring. But I can use Starwood points for both nights and only pay for the car.
I'd like to checkout Greektown and the Detroit Brewing Co. and not have to worry about driving that night so I am leaning towards staying in Downtown. But I would need to get around the whole cab issue as I'm trying to keep the $$ under control.
