Hotel:
Our recommended hotel is the Hyatt Place Auburn Hills. But there are several additional budget options within 5 minutes of the venue. We HIGHLY recommend you book and attend Friday to Monday. Saturday and Sunday nights will be the main event showcase nights at the Crofoot, and Friday is our pre-party event.
