The current Fairfield DTW is a decent property. It opened in 2008, replacing the former Fairfield which is now a Ramada Inn. That said, the Marriot-branded properties (Marriott, Courtyard, Springfield Suites, Fairfield) are sold out for the evening.
The Metropolitan is old (among the original hotels) but is a decent property. It was branded as a Doubletree most of last decade and is in decent shape. It's not the best place to stay, but it's often the best for the money. For a quick overnight, I wouldn't be concerned - nice, clean rooms with comfortable beds and clean linens. It's literally located next to the runways, but not something to be concerned about this time of night.

Decent property, but about 20 miles / 25-30 minutes from the airport. Considering it's past 10:30PM and I assume you have an early flight, that's a long terk!

Yes, there is, but like I said, all the hot girls are home for the summer. 
The company I worked for asked me to take a specific science class this summer, so I'm taking it at a local community college (which is silly since I have an MBA). But WOW, the eye candy has been worth the price of admission. Or many my standards/perceptions have dropped because I'm getting older? Oh, to be 18 again. Or some creppy almost 30-year-old guy that hits on 18-year-old girls. Cancun spring break, 2012 - here I come!!!!

If you're stuck in Detroit, why not stay at the Henry (f/k/a Ritz Carlton).
