On the up side, staff was friendly, we were given an early check-in, and our room was clean. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We were told the restaurant was closed till the next day. Our room was hot and we were only able to turn off the heat setting, which did nothing on the top floor on a warm sunny day. The first employee I spoke with told me the A/C was broken and would possibly be fixed tomorrow. She said there were many complaints and she tried to get me a fan, but they were all gone. She offered us a room on the first floor but it was late and we were too tired to move our things. We were able to crack our window about 6-8 inches thankfully, but there was no screen, so we couldn't leave it open all night due to mosquitos. It was even warmer come morning and the beds are saggy and squeaky and uncomfortable, so I hardly slept. I was up at 5:30 ready to grab a cup of coffee and leave. I went downstairs to find that they even charged for COFFEE and pastries. I told the front desk person that we had no A/C all night and our room was unbearably hot. He said the A/C was turned off seasonally hotel wide. I said they need to inform people of this in advance. This is a major deal breaker for me and I never would've stayed had I known.

This property is so very old. It would be nice if they would update and have more consistency with modern items. The iron needs to be changed out....it had a scorch mark that I did not notice until I ironed my top and got a smudge. It needs a lot of upgrades as it is in a key location close to the highway.

We had made the reservation through Expedia last minute, a little bit before midnight, and because of that, when we tried checking in an hour later, it had not yet appeared in the hotel system. We were tired and grumpy after a long day of travel. The clerk was very kind and accommodating while we tried to figure out how to get checked in. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait too long. The hotel is nice and is in a quiet area. Our room was fine but smelled a little mildewy, but otherwise no complaints.

Kensington Hotel is a great option when staying in Ann Arbor. Convenient access to both downtown and outskirts area. The hotel staff was excellent, using Expedia was the actual difficult part. No fault of the Hotels, but multiple weird things happened. We were graciously comped a breakfast for the troubles. Would recommend.
