Btw, I have Delta flights.

Hi, I'm travelling to Detroit for the first time for an interview. My interview's at a building on Moross Road. They've recommended a few hotels in Roseville, most of which are 10-15 mins away from the info I've been sent. I was wondering what the best way would be to get from DTW airport to this area? What if I took a cab? How much would that cost me? I'm not too keen on the idea of renting a car since I'm flying back the very next day. And any feedback of any of the hotels in the Roseville area would be great too. Thanks.

Hi, On Wednesday, I'm flying back east on Northwest (not my nomal carrier), and have a several-hour layover at the Detroit Airport. I'd like to get a nice meal, glass of wine, etc. at one of the better restaurants. I printed out the airport website, but the restaurants are just unknown names to me. One Vt-er recommends the Grey Goose Martini Lounge or Sora Sushi Bar. Do you have any other suggestions in addition? I like gourmet food of any type, but do not like American chain-restaurants. Suggestions are most welcome and thank you!
