On the hotel’s own site your deal is with the hotel itself, and Quarter Detroit reader perks only work there.
At most downtown hotels parking costs extra, and many only offer valet. When we know the price, it’s on the hotel’s page.
If you’re coming on a Tigers, Lions or Red Wings day or for a big concert, the rooms around the stadiums go first. Check Events to see what’s on in town.
The People Mover and the QLINE streetcar are free, and most downtown hotels are a few minutes’ walk from a stop. Each hotel page shows the nearest one.
