Arriving from Detroit Metro (DTW)
DTW is the main airport serving Detroit. Published listings give the airport-to-hotel drive time as roughly 20–26 minutes under normal traffic; actual time depends on the hour and road conditions.
There is no official Cambria Hotel–run airport shuttle listed in the hotel's public information. Common ground options are rental car, taxi, or rideshare services (Uber/Lyft).
- Taxi/rideshare: fastest door-to-door option; drop-off at the hotel's main entrance on West Lafayette.
- Rental car: drive north toward downtown Detroit; the hotel offers valet and covered/outdoor parking (fees apply).
- Public transit: limited direct service from DTW to downtown requires connections; check local transit schedules for current routes.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Rideshare | Door-to-door; best for convenience |
| Rental Car | Hotel has valet and covered parking for a fee |
| Public Transit | Requires transfers; allow extra time |
Crossing from Windsor or arriving at nearby regional airports
Windsor Airport (YQG) is listed as a closer cross-border airport in some sources (about 6.5 miles southeast of downtown Detroit), but you must clear the international border (Windsor–Detroit crossings vary by time and documentation).
If you fly into a smaller regional field, ground transport options are the same: rental car, taxi, or rideshare into downtown. Confirm border crossing requirements and processing times if arriving via Windsor.
- From Windsor: plan for border crossing time; taxi/rideshare or rental car after customs.
- From other regional airports: check scheduled ground connections into Detroit or book a car service.
- No hotel-provided cross-border transfer or shuttle service is listed in public hotel materials.
| Airport | Typical next steps |
|---|---|
| Windsor (YQG) | Customs/border crossing then taxi/rideshare or rental car |
| Other regionals | Taxi, rideshare, or drive into downtown |
