Anyone have any idea what the most reasonable method of transport
from the Ann Arbor Amtrak station (location unknown, still seeking) to a
hotel at 3535 Green Court (48105-1579 - near the Y of 23-in-a-shield and
14-in-a-circle) might be?

325 Depot St, AA, 48104 (I wasn't sure exactly *where* on Depot St it
was).

Take a taxi or rent a car, probably. See if anyone driving in can
pick you up (the train station isn't that hard to find or park at,
iirc). Depending on when the train gets in, you might be able to
catch an AATA bus. It will involve a transfer, and a walk from the
parking lot half a mile from the hotel.

I don't know if the hotel has a limo service...I don't think they do.

Check the con website to see what they say (if they say anything at
all).

(23-in a shield is US-23; 14-in-a-circle is M-14).

The train station is on Depot St, and the ride probably would be no
more than $15 taxi. But there are a number of people you know who live
in town who might be available for the lift. I work about two miles from
the train station and hitting there and Green isn't significantly out of
my way home. When are you coming in?

I live less than a mile from the train station. As Steve asked, when are you
coming in?

Aye, there's the rub. According to Amtrak, arrival is slated for 11:31PM.
