I totally agree with you. Detroit gets such a bad rap but the renovated downtown is very nice. Like from little caesars arena to the Rennaissance Center is lovely.

the very bad parts of the city, you would have no reason to go there anyway.

If you’re interested in Henry ford and the green village, stay in Dearborn.

What are your main places you will be visiting? How many days?

Ferndale or Royal Oak are close-in suburbs that are very central, have good spots to eat. You are going to be driving places anyway (except in rare circumstances), so having a central location for the area is good. But depends on what you are doing to an extent.

We're hoping to visit some museums - art, Motown, Ford Museum, Charles Wright Museum... Probably staying for 3 nights or so.

Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. It's in Dearborn and will probably take a whole day if you do both or the factory tour.

I wish we would have planned two days there. OP if you were going on the weekend, they play old Time rules baseball.
