There are 3 rooms available in the Detroit airport area that will cost you $28.50 for Saturday night. This offer is not on any public site, it is an offer from me.
Pool, hot tub, work out facility available.
Transport from downtown saturday night:
someone will probably be able to give you a ride but if you need it,
Bikeguy: You could also just catch the regular bus back. I think the shuttle ends at 7 because the art fair ends at 6. We've never had to have anyone take public transportation back in the past though.
If public transport was required, you'd take Route 7 from the Blake Transit Center, a few blocks toward Main Street for Cottage Inn.

Also, for those that aren't familiar with the Art Fair before that traffic can be quite congested with the fair crowds and numerous closed off streets.
For out of town attendees the cluster of hotels near the Briarwood Mall is one convenient area to stay in. There is a convenient shuttle between Briarwood Mall and the downtown area where the Art Fair and the Panera location for breakfast/lunch, the Library, and the Original Cottage Inn are. Info is in the brochure for AAAF:

Go to

And the best part for locals is parking is $2 for up to 2 weeks!
I will be getting on a train the Saturday morning of the DO, so I will be unable to attend.
And if you are a senior citizen, $11 R/T. I'm implying nothing about the age of some of our past attendees.
