Great location and Service

This was a great location, beautiful buildings, and very good staff. Rooms are clean, food at breakfast very fresh. My only reason for less than excellent in comfort was old soft pillows and a little noisy. The buildings are wood frame and even on top floor noise traveled a bit.

Great Place to stay inn Ann Arbor

The hotel shows its age in some places but is overall a great place to stay anytime you're in Ann Arbor; Well, maintained property. It has a full service Restuarant that serves Breakfast and Dinner. Bills there can charged to room which is convenient.

Karolina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had some doubts after reading the reviews here, but this was actually really nice. The lobby is a little silly, and the corridors have extremely low ceilings, but the room was totally fine - clean and quiet.

8/10 Very good

The r restaurant was good. They didn't clean my room for 2 days. The second night I had to go down and get towels. I have stayed at better hotels for less money
6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great pool and hot tubarea- there were A LOT of kids on my Saturday stay and it got al little out of control but this was on the parents/guests. Very large pool and linens and beds were really nice and a better option than most.
Emily, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Probably the quietest hotel I’ve ever been to! My only complaint is that the toilets were only big enough for kids. Practice your deep knee bends before sitting down. Bed and pillows could be firmer for sure!
todd, 1-night trip

The only negative was no coffee or breakfast in the morning.
