What if TSA delays prevent accessing my reserved Detroit suite?

Our DTW location sits after TSA security in McNamara Terminal, requiring security clearance to access reserved Detroit airport suites.

Arrive at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with adequate time to clear security before suite reservations begin, especially during peak periods when DTW security lines extend significantly.

How does Minute Suites Detroit differ from DTW lounges and nearby hotels?

during peak hours, our Detroit airport suites provide complete privacy in enclosed rooms with controlled environments and zero interruptions.
