DCjoe Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Needed a room centrally located for the entire Thansgiving weekend in Detroit. For where I am going (southeast Oakland county) that is the best area. Based on the options available I decided to go with 4 star, and from the looks of it that means the Westin, as there don't appear to be any other 4 star wins in Southfield for a while.I looked at the Westin site and noticed that the Wednesday-Saturday rate is $114 and the Thursday-Saturday night rates are $89. This meant I ended up going a little higher than the $45-55 range others have gotten for weekend rates. I tried a bunch of permutations beginning at $45 (lots of options for Detroit because of so few 4 star areas), and ended up getting the Westin at $63 a night. The all-in price for 4 nights was $299, so $75 a night.Whoops, I just checked Westin and they lowered the rates to $91 a night ($75 a night if only Thursday-Saturday). I probably should have waited and could have got the room for maybe $10 less a night. Lesson learned. During a slow demand period 6 weeks ahead might be too early.
