marcygiff Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 My husband is going to Detroit tonight for a concert tomorrow and wants to stay in the downtown area. They want to be close to the People Mover, Fox Theater and the casinos because they don't want to have to drive while they are there.Any suggestions on bidding? It appears that if a bid is accepted for a 4* hotel it will be either the Atheneum, the Hyatt at Ren Cen, or the Omni. The Omni is a little far from where they want to be (about 2.5 miles) and they aren't keen on walking that in Detroit. Link to comment
nick5 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 If you do get the Omni, they have a shuttle that takes you downtown anywhere and picks you up. No cost other than tipping the driver. When we stayed there, we were dropped off at Joe Louise and they gave a card with number on it to call for after, and came within 10 minutes. They dropped another couple off at the casino. Cheryl Link to comment
