I've lived two blocks away from Wayne State University for six years. That is
about three miles away from Hart Plaza. I live in the dreaded Cass
Corridor...(now euphamisimically called midtown) I am not a intimidating
person (size or shape) and have not a had problems with crime (by not drawing
attention to yourself you will not have to worry). Again I would like to
stress that the police and their prying eyes are the ones I would worry about.
You will have many homeless people ASKING for change. (common of all major
cities) But after traveling quite extensively around the USA I have to say
detroit homeless have some of the most entertaining confidence scams around!
Anyway, The Ramada on Bagley is one of the cheaper hotels. There is also a
knights/days inn and a couple more lower class motels on East Jefferson (that
is toward Belle Isle from downtown) that are really cheap if you do not mind a
motel vs a hotel. No trip to detroit would be complete without a drive around
the belle smokin and listen to your favorite "joint".
peace

It should be noted that almost everyone advocating staying in downtown
Detroit during the DEMF does not live there, nor have they spent any
reasonable amount of time there. I would suggest trying to find
opinions off the list from people who are more willing to be candid.
But if you do decide to stay there then don't stay anywhere except the
Athenium!
