I'm a commuter and stay at the Clarion hotel in DTW. 50.06 total gets you a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, crew rooms are always available, reliable van service, and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel like a high tier pilot.
Clarion is a bit more quiet than the others and you don't have to walk in the rain and cold to get to the hotel Van.
Clarion does have an option for a late checkout 4 or 5 pm but it is an additional fee (not sure how much).
Hope this helps.

I would advise against the Hojo. The other places are worth the extra few dollars. They used to be very accommodating at the Hojo but management has changed and their policies along with it. Go with Americas Best or Clarion.

I've stayed at all of the above. It has been a few years but the only one I would never stay at again was the Magnuson. The people were nice there but the place was a dump. Musty, dirty and old.

Have you boys and girls noticed that our new management is only spending money on tangible, transferable assets,... I.e. Airplanes, ground equipment, gates, simulators, ect. And nothing is being fixed like IT, HR, payroll or anything else that another airline would want or need. Everything that is happening around here being done to sugar coat a foul smelling turd. I laugh my ass of every time I hear some management dork say we are "here for the long term". We're gonna get bought, sold, merge ,acquired or chopped up into a yard sale. It's just a matter of when and who.

There are tax advantages to owning depreciating assets. There are ways to make it look like we make more money than we do this way. Maybe they have run out of the low hanging fruit in terms of cutting costs and are now doing what they can to pump up stock price. This is the opposite of what I would expect for a merger. I would think they would try to depress stock, unless we were going to be the purchaser, not the purchasee. Or not. I still think a merger is in our future. And certainly no one in lower mgmt would know if and when that would happen. The higher ups have a fiduciary duty to not tell anyone the details of something like that.
