I've also stayed at the Ponch and Courtyard. Now I think I'd try the Inn on Ferry or the Hostel if I needed a place to stay in Detroit. --Just call the front desks, if you reserve early that way it might be lower. You might get a better view for the price in Windsor but if you have a car it is easier to save money and time (with the boarder) by staying in Southfield and taking the lodge (m10) downtown, which is a pretty quick drive.
