A Surprisingly Great 24 hours in DETROIT Michigan

We want to start with an apology to amazing women and men of the City of Detroit…. For years, we have feared travelling to the Motor City. Those fears were truly misplaced!

The downtown area of Detroit has undergone some spirited and strategic redevelopment over the past decade and it shows! And the people, we can’t say enough about the genuine friendly attitude we encountered every place we went!

After checking in to the Hilton Garden Inn on Gratiot, we started wandering and exploring the downtown core.

A beach? Yep….. And that’s not the half of it! We strongly recommend putting on some sunscreen and your walking shoes and just wandering!!

Some highlights from our walk include The Guardian Building, The Spirit of Detroit monument and the Monroe Mid Way… oh, and Greek Town and Parker’s Alley!

The inspiration for this stop was the Detroit Tigers and Comerica Park. The vibe here was fantastic and the views from every in this attraction are great!!

We end our visit with a stroll down to the Eastern Market, full of fresh produce vendors. It was just a 15 minute walk each way from the hotel.

Sooooooo……. If, like us, a visit to Detroit hasn’t been high on your list, it’s time for you to give them a shot. You’ll be so happy you did!!
