Obviously that's a commentary on the airports only; DTW/Detroit enjoys no MARTA, nor any nearby attractions/shopping should one be stuck there for a while....but the in-terminal Westin can be quite soothing.
True they have 6 runways, but 99.99% of the time they run 4 actives. Nonetheless it's an efficient setup and this storm won't be that bad - OP should be fine.
