I'm from Detroit so I haven't gotten a hotel. But I've heard bad things about the Ren Cen as its filled with "frat boys". Right across the street is a Marriot Courtyard, which might be cheaper and is right across the street from Hart Plaza. If you are going to have access to a car, I would recommend staying in Warren. There are some nice hotels there for cheap on the weekends espcially. Its a 15 minute drive downtown and if you park in the underground structure parking is only like 2 bucks a day. Plus pretty much everyone is going to be going to some afterparties, so your going to have to drive anyways. And I doubt that Hawtin will be using the City Club this year, so don't stay in the Ramada for that reason. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Earle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:59 PM Subject: Re: (313) DEMF hotels / Oscar Mulero as a DJ
