IANAL, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

MCL 28.432 Inapplicability of MCL 28.422; amendatory act as “Janet Kukuk act”.
Sec. 12. (1) Section 2 does not apply to any of the following:
.....
(f) A United States citizen holding a license to carry a pistol concealed upon his or her person issued by
another state
.....
(i) An individual carrying, possessing, using, or transporting a pistol belonging to another individual, if the
other individual's possession of the pistol is authorized by law and the individual carrying, possessing, using,
or transporting the pistol has obtained a license under section 5b to carry a concealed pistol or is exempt from
licensure as provided in section 12a.
If the pistol isn't registered to you, you can carry it only at a range and only if the owner is present. If you have a Michigan CPL, you can carry a pistol registered to another individual as long as you are in lawful possession. (i.e. have permission). Grey area is whether a non-Michigan CPL allows for carry of another's pistol, registered in Michigan or otherwise.
I've instructed my wife that if I ever need to go to a hospital (CPFZ) while carrying, she is to have a LEO disarm me and take possession. She also cannot be in the car with my pistol(s) properly stowed in the trunk for transport, unless I am present and in "possession". (no quick run into a store and leave the wife in the car) I know another couple where the spouse applied for a CPL for these reasons.
