This wasn't an even trade. I'm chalking it up as a loss, and further proof that, no matter what hotel we have, the move to a new one is worse. The only gains I've seen is adding a long layover to a station we didn't have one at before, like PHL. Is the new long layover in DTW any better than the old one?
The new layover in DTW is nice. There is a good steak house but very pricey. I did not get to walk around but I was told there was stuff around. Overall not worth the long drive. PHL long layover on the other hand is awesome. A long drive as well but worth it. Reminds me of Fort Worth layovers but better. Hotel van provider is horrible and traffic is bad out of there. I am giving that layover another month and it will be gone.
I too think this long/short layover stuff was a bad move.
