Detroit Greyhound Station

I am thinking about taking a trip and I would have to switch buses at the Detroit Station around midnight.

I would be going alone and worried about safety.

Has anyone been there before at night? Is it secure?

Do you wait inside or outside?

Thanks for any help

Detroit Greyhound Station

According to their website, its open 24/7/365. Its not in the greatest part of town but its not that bad either. In my experience riding greyhound its not always the highest class customers that uses their services but as long as its inside and you%26#39;re not there for too long, I would say you are safe.

You should be ok - just be ';heads up'; and aware of what%26#39;s going on around you.

YOu wait inside, BTW.

My little brother is in town for the Championship game and we are trying to find a hotel near the greyhound station for him to stay in because no bus leaves until morning. We don%26#39;t want him spending the night in the station...any last minute help??

Ali815-

Has he already gone this morning; or are you looking for a hotel tonight? If it is tonight or on a later date, what is your price range?

The price range is fairly flexible...we possibly found a room and he did in fact leave for Detroit today. We are still searching though, and he wouldn%26#39;t need to check it until later tonight, or even after the game (around midnight).

Doubletree Ft. Shelby is relatively close and so is the Holiday Inn Express. Farther away (but a short taxi ride or a long walk) are the Hilton Garden Inn, the Courtyard and the new Greektown Casino Hotel ($99 specials advertised). There are other hotels, of course. Some are rather pricey and some others cater to the ';by the hour'; trade; I excluded both categories. Hope this helps.

thank you so much! looking into them right now!

Forgot to mention, but Hotwire is a very good booking source and it offers sharp discounts. Priceline is good as well.

The only problem with Hotwire is that, while their site tells you the area and the star rating for the hotel, it doesn%26#39;t give you the name of the specific property until you book with them. The booking is not refundable.

Most people get around this by writing down the specific amenities of a few hotels (e.g., indoor pool, on-site restaurant, etc.), trying for a luxury place and then using this indirect way to compare hotels and ID the one offered by Hotwire. It is a pain, but I have managed to find deep discounts this way a couple of times.
