September 2008 Authoring Summit suggested label (tag): SakaiAuthoring08

Travel & Lodging

Suggested hotels:

Both are walking distance to campus and there is a shopping center nearby so a car isn't necessary.

If arriving by plane:

The campus and hotels are about 15 miles from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). The airport lists sample prices for two taxi services at airport transportation. One-way price (DTW to Dearborn) for Checker Sedan is listed as $45. One-way price (DTW to Dearborn) for Metro Airport Taxi is listed as $31. Both Checker and Metro say up to four people can ride for the price of one.

If arriving by train:

The campus is about 2.4 miles from the Dearborn Amtrak station (map). The hotels are about 2 miles from the station. Three trains arrive from Chicago each day (2:46 p.m., 6:22 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.). Taxis will be waiting at the station. Email Jim if you're arriving by train and I may be able to pick you up at the station (be sure to tell me how many bicycles you'll be bringing).
