I Don't Want To Move My Car

Ride share services are a great way to get to these places, and will usually be able to fit several people in the same vehicle for those group outings.

Also TheRide is the region's transit service, and its route 46 has stops at the nearest intersection to the hotels. Rides are $1.50 each way (cash, exact change preferred, or purchasable via an app on your phone) or $3.00 for a day pass.

3-4 stops southbound (toward "Huron River & Textile") will get you to the Paint Creek plaza/Kroger dedicated stop. 3 stops northbound (toward "Ypsilanti Transit Center") will get you to the "A Little Drive" area center of Ypsi.
