Detroit is a dump! If you thought Edmonton was bad, it makes Edmonton look like Paris. Seriously it's a pretty bleak place, so avoid loitering around at all costs. Friends who did med school there, and other things even said that sometimes police will encourage people not to stop at particular red lights at night in fear they'll get robbed (just slow to check and drive through). I don't have advice on a particular place to stay, but if you can, watch the game in Detroit and drive a couple hours and stay in London, ON. Safer and fun time (especially with UWO - homecoming this year was a blast). Good luck.
