Oblige is located ½ mile (8-10 minute walk) from the Grand Boulevard stop.
During peak hours such as sports games or concerts, the Q Line is often overwhelmed with long waits, but at all other times, it is quite convenient. Wait times between trains are typically 10-20 minutes.
Uber/Lyft
Detroit has a steady supply of Uber/Lyft drivers and prices are typically reasonable, especially for short distances within the city.

Consider the cities of Troy and Allen Park. Both cities are a short drive (12-15 minutes) to Oblige
Both cities offer a variety of business-class corporate chain hotels to choose from, along with cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores.
Airport
Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is only a 20-minute drive from Oblige.
