FFS people if this ****es you off too , email your rep and tell them it's BS.
I agree and have emailed the Hotel Committee numerous times. DTW is a tough market and finding a good place is hard but I'd much rather stay at our short stay than drive all the way out to Livonia. IAH and LAX there are no excuses. There's no reason we can't stay closer. It would be great if we could choose to stay at the short versus long. IAH is a sh!+ show eight ways to Sunday. Late vans, no vans, lying van drivers, long drive, bad traffic, etc. I bid around that city like the plague.
Unfortunatley a lot of our reps are in self preservation mode and not better the group mode. We have a few good ones but my experience in the aggregate has not been positive. And don't dare address a contract violation unless you want to be mocked and labeled a 'trouble maker'. But hey, at least we're paying $7 a beer in LAX while WN pays $1.
