Thanks for the Info, I live downtown near the Double Tree so I made my early 
registration  and was going to walk over to the hotel.  Then I received this 
email.  The Wayne County Library Newsletter just said Detroit.  When there 
is more that I hotel with the same name in a city, please give the address 
and phone number of the hotel,  I do not know if I will be able to make a 
hotel reservation at the rate, who do I need to call if I have to cancel?
Thanks
