There's been streetwalker activity around the motel for quite awhile, but supposedly some of the Club Venus dancers use the motel.

Yes, these things happen. Any time I've ever been to this place, I keep an eye out for bad things outside. This club is on the border of Detroit and Dearborn in a dead area where anything can happen. Inside at Club Venus, many good things can happen, but be aware of your surroundings outside.

On a side note, I wonder how many occupants of the motel were scared because the police came a knocking on the door?
