[il-talk] Fw: Ground transportation service from the airport (DTW) to the Detroit Marriott and Courtyard Marriott hotels at the Renaissance Center and vise-versa.

[Robert Gardner]

Hi Everyone

The message below indicates it would cost a couple $100 to take a cab from 
the airport to the convention hotel.  I've traveled all over the US and some 
in Europe and have never heard of such high rates.  Does anyone on IL-Talk 
have any experience to corroborate those numbers?

Bob
