Hi there, Yes, I am willing to take my chances getting a hotel other than the Marriot Rennaissance, but just not anything outside of the Downtown zone. I realize that it is not guaranteed to get a particular hotel, although looking at the Hotel list on this site for Detroit, it looks like the 3* options are either the Marriot Ren. or the Omni. I could live with the Omni, it's just that I have a seminar at the Marriot. In any case, as long as it's downtown, I could at least take a cab. However, looking at previous posts, it looked like 3* bids in downtown seemed to end up with only the Marriot Ren. or the Omni...so I figured it was likely to be low risk that I would end up with any other hotel. Any strategy suggestions welcome for a 3* in that zone. :)
