boiler,
the crowne plaza is 200 yards away from the traditional "host hotel".
address....1500 opdyke rd. (200 yards north of host hotel)
auburn hills
1-248-373-4550

the amenities are a bit nicer ....ie a 24 hot-tub and pool...so the adults can have a few beverages after the traditional 10 or 11 o'clock closing of other pools.
seems a bit quieter and one can still party with the x-fire owners....but sleep soundly knowing that you car is safe.
it is up to each individual where they want to sleep.
cheers,
gryfan
