options near DTW

Of the Doubletree, Hilton Suites, and Garden Inn, which is the best choice? From your experience, does one offer better Gold VIP service than the others?

I usually stay at the Marriott at the terminal, but I desperately need a change of pace.

Thanks.

Stayed at the HGI last year and it was pretty nice. No special treatment as diamond, but then again I got in at 11, left 6am. It was brand new, which I appreciate.

The Hilton Suites is just okay. The hotel is a bit rundown and their restaurant is very average. I'm usually in a Park 'n' Fly situation there and their rates for that are quite low if booked in advance. Also on the positive side, your points post very quickly.

I stayed at the H.G.I. last night. Was upgraded to a suite and given voucher for full, hot breakfast in lobby. Nice, new hotel.

I've stayed at the Doubletree. Seemed like a nice place. Even as a Silver they said they gave me a better room. I was only there one night so cannot say too much other than if they noticed I was silver they must pay attention to the HHonors program.

stayed at the DT last Nov. Nothing special in mind eyes.Only reason I stayed was needed a different Hilton property, also they offered a DT Value Rate at the time, if I remember correctly it was $66. The pool area was closed due to repairs.The room was just a room.

The only DT I've ever stayed in that was worth it was the DT downtown PHL(Philly).

Do any Michigan Hilton Properites accept pets?

I was just wondering if anyone in Michigan knew if any Hilton properites accepted Pets?

I've checked with about 8 Hampton Inn's and they said "no pets" but supposedly HHonors told me that some do accept pets but she did not know which ones.

Doh! I want to stay at a Hilton property but they do not want "Fido". So much for being Gold!

Grab a AAA Guidebook for MI. They now indicates whether or not a hotel allows pets. Good luck!

Actually, AAA also publishes a hotel directory that lists hotels nationwide that accept pets. It's not one of the free Tourbooks, but it's fairly inexpensive.

I believe most DO NOT accept pets, but it's probably worth your while to check with AAA... just don't be a PEST and call 12 times in a day just to see if you get the answer you wanted... (oops, this may be intended for the 50K pts thread)

and if 90% of gold and diamond would book their hotel stays through priceline.com, do you think priceline.com would throw in "pet of your choice" as a sign up bonus?

No, you have to pay with cash or credit card.

Actually there are a few Hilton properties that accept pets.

Hampton Inn - Stevensville
Homewood Suites - Grand Rapids ($80.00 deposit and extra $5.00 a day per pet)

Detroit Airport (DTW)

Where would you recommend staying near the Detroit airport?
