Saying he wanted to correct a bad impression of the city, the general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn in Detroit has come through for a couple of Lions fans who wanted to spend a night downtown during the NFL draft in April.
According to John Miller, a Toledo businessman, his wife, Jani Miller, made reservations in December for a room at the Detroit Club for $350 a night, plus taxes. Their reservation, guaranteed with a credit card, was later canceled, and they were offered another room at going rates — $1,100 as of this week.
