The Courtyard Mariott is probably the most baller in terms of hotels, it's much nicer than the Ren Cen, and also a lot more lax in terms of security.
The New Book Cadillac hotel, in midtown by the New Center is very accommodating, and a very short drive/bus ride from the park, <10 miles.
The Ren Cen, as said above, will give you wrist bands(they did in previous years) so that you cant get tons of friends/new friends into your hotel. They are also very strict about coolers. Inflatable coolers are always a good idea during this weekend, as well as the bath tub.
Public transportation in Detroit consists of two bus systems-The DDOT(city bus) and the SMART(the 'burbs bus) as well as the Soul Train(people mover).
I can post a much more comprehensive guide if anyone wishes, or if anyone has any questions, about venues, restaurants, anything. I have lived in Detroit all my life, and I go to school Downtown as well. |
Some friends here in NY absolutely hate the RenCen. They said the main reason was that it took like 45 mins to get to their rooms from Hart Plaza, and that security was ridiculous. Most recommended Greektown and said the walk would be shorter to the Atheneum than to a room in the RenCen, lol.
