Flights
For those flying in, Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is a Delta hub with direct flights from many domestic and overseas locations. The hotel is a straightforward 20 minute drive from the airport. All the major car rental firms are at the airport with a 10 minute shuttle connection from either the North or McNamara terminals.
We recommend against taking cabs from the airport. Uber is now established in the metro area. Alternatively, if you will not be renting a car, let us know your travel plans and we’ll probably be able to arrange an airport pickup.
