However, if you are in town on a whim and need a hotel, it is best to negotiate directly with the hotel instead of any agents or their toll-free lines. When approached directly, hotels tend to quote their prices, down from the most expensive room. Never settle for the first price that you are offered; there's always something cheaper and if there isn't negotiate a room upgrade at the same price if you think the price is too high.

When you make it absolutely clear that you aren't happy with the price, the hotel staff tends to offer a cheaper deal. Express your desire for a cheaper room by inquiring about promotional prices etc. If the receptionists are unrelenting, insist on speaking to the manager; it would be hotel policy to give away a room if it would be unoccupied otherwise.

Detroit is a large city and has several hotels that would be open to walk in guests. Hotels in Downtown Detroit especially are always open for reservations.
