With staycation gaining popularity over vacation in these hard times, the hospitality industry is also taking stock and making it easier on the pocket of travelers. Chalking out an affordable vacation to Detroit is thus much more simple and easy now.

Though the average room rates in Detroit for mid scale hotels peg around the $200 mark, visitors intent on stretching their dollar can find comfortable and yet convenient accommodation for under $100 per room night, and some times even closer to the $70 per room night.

Websites like expedia.com and priceline.com are excellent resource points not just to understand hotel prices in Detroit, but also to explore package deals which combine the best prices on your air ticket, hotel accommodation and even some of the attractions in Detroit. America's Best Value Inn, in Dearborn MI even offers rooms at $49 per room night and you can find more such lodging options when you exploit the power of the internet.

When you consider a package deal, always take care to understand each component and compare the prices independently. Check with the official website of the air line concerned and satisfy whether the price you are offered is indeed the cheapest. Everybody is looking for that extra bit of cash.

Therefore, if something is not offered right away, ask for what more is possible. Never fight shy of bargaining when you see room for that extra bit. Small drops make the ocean, and you need every drop. Always check and double check your prices before parting with your credit card information
