Q + A

Can I bring my children?

We have decided to keep our wedding events adults-only and appreciate your understanding!

Do I need to bring toiletries/ personal care items?

YES! The hotel does not offer hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or lotion like a "typical" hotel does. All rooms have a bathroom with showers and towels, they just don't supply personal care items for each guest, so please bring your own.

Where should I park?

Since our venue is owned by the UAW, our parking is a bit tricky. Only union made vehicles that have a vin starting with the numbers 1,2,4, or 5 are allowed to park inside of the premises. There is a visitor lot directly outside of the front entrance for all other vehicles. (Don't worry the visitor lot is monitored 24/7 by security)

If I have to park in the visitor lot, how will I get in?

If you are a guest staying on the property (which you should be), you are allowed 30 minutes to unload/pack your car when you are checking-in and when you are checking out. Once you return your car to the visitor lot, there is a shuttle that can take you in and around the center. This shuttle has a scheduled route, but if you need to get picked up or taken somewhere, there is number that you can call.

When can I check in?

Guaranteed check-in time is 4:00, however according to the venue, guests are often able to check-in before the ceremony. If your room is available before 4:00, the staff will allow you to check-in, the earliest is typically around 2:00. The ceremony starts at 4:00 in the lobby, so the lobby will be closed during that time. If you plan on checking in at 3:30 or later, please plan on checking in after the ceremony is finished.

WHERE SHOULD I STAY?


We encourage everyone to stay on property! The complex offers many different types of lodging as follows:


-Standard hotel room: These are located in the Main Lodge and contain two double beds with views overlooking the river. There are also handicap accessible rooms available.


-Family units: These rooms are two separate bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom. One of the bedrooms has one double bed, the other bedroom has two double beds.


-Apartments: There are one and two bedroom apartments available. They also contain full kitchens, living and dining room areas.


-Condos: These are not available, they have been booked by the bride and groom.


-There is separate lodging in the Upper Lodge and Old Lodge. We did not block off any of these rooms, as we encourage guests to stay close to the festivities!

Attached is the map of the entire complex. The highlighted areas are where wedding events and lodging are. The Main Lobby (#3) is the main entrance and hotel area, where the ceremony will occur and where guests can stay in regular hotel rooms. This is attached to the Dining Room (#8) where the reception will occur. Other types of lodging (#4) and amenities (#11) are also connected to the hotel via enclosed hallways. The rehearsal dinner will occur at the Sports Bar (#12). The inside parking (#13) is indicated on the map as well.
