Hello Disdad 35...
This may be an important message for you. Keep in mind if you're leaving on a weekend, top-tier business hotels drop their rates dramatically on weekends (Fri/Sat nites) as they cater to a Sun-Thu business crowd.
The rate drop is often so dramatic that the cost differential between a beautiful hotel experience at a Marriott or Hyatt vs a dumpy Comfort Inn or HoJos is a wash,...For example, I happen to know that the Detroit Airport Marriott Romulus has an $89 rate on wknds (the "Family Fun rate) that includes pizza from Pizza Hut, snacks, a movie, and use of the hotel swimming pool/fitness center!!!! All in a very comfortable, clean, quiet business hotel!!!!
Parking is free as is free shuttle to the airport. The weekday rate for just a room is $179 and the hotel looks it.
By the way, in my experience Canadian hotels need to be more creative with packages (esp for families) to entice prospective guests. I'm always amazed when I call a hotel and ask for packages and am told "No, we don't offer any!"....I'm thinking....isn't this the hotel's job?....don't you want business??"
Anyway, I digress....the Marriott Romulus (1 mile to airport) has made it such that it'd be a no-brainer to stay there over
the HoJo/Comfort Inn/Red Roof etc... previously discussed in this thread! You'll love this hotel!
Hope this helps!
