Residence Inn and Fairfield Inn, Lansing
For two Marriott hotel properties at the Lansing-Delta Twp. border, business the past two years has been reflective of the state's economy, which hit the Lansing area particularly hard. A welcome respite arrived last fall when Red Dawn, having already filmed throughout metro Detroit, came to shoot key scenes in the woods of nearby Grand Ledge.
The hotels were well prepared for a film crew, while the production's large fleet of trucks and vehicles were ably situated without displacing any hotel parking.
