Detroit Metro Airport
Lasting Impressions....
Memorable comments left by travellers:
"an old terminal that smelled like wet dog and rotting eggs!" (Laura)
"The main problem is this annoying red train that goes back and forth all night long. What fool thought up the idea to run a train indoors along the terminal ceiling?" (?)
"People were sleeping everywhere—hard marble floor, stairs, around the luggage carousels, ON the luggage carousels, in the middle of the luggage carousels (you normally don’t notice how useful that thingy can be), or simply slept upright on the uncomfortable chairs. " (Alex P :-))

I got the shaft from an airline and needed a place to rest for 6-7 hours. After walking around a bit I asked a police officer where the best place would be for a girl to lay her weary head.
He recommended the Westin hotel which is connected to the airport. He said to just walk in like you knew what you were doing, go down the ramp and then downstairs and wait in their HUGE lobby.
I did just that. The conference / breakfast room was empty and I had a big tv with remote to myself. Comfy chairs, couches and tables. There was a little gift shop down there and I was able to buy bottled water and some cookies and chips that I ate while watching tv. Luxurious restrooms were right around the corner.
When in Detroit, I recommend the Westin Hotel lobby!"

"This airport is clearly one of the worst airports to fly through in the United States. Things only get worse if you are forced to sleep there. I was stuck at 1:30 am with the nearest hotel with rooms available being in Toledo (1 hour away). My friend and I tried our best to sleep, but the couches nearly all have arm rests. I had to sleep on the floor. I repeat, I would never fly through this airport, let alone suggest you stay there."
