Rooms were clean and staff super friendly. But just be warned this property is DATED. Also if you’re over 6’4 prepare to duck on your way to your room. Hallways are particular close quarters. For the money you could stay somewhere much nicer and with similar amenities.

It was quiet so we could sleep. This is a big deal for me. The rooms were nice, and the beds were comfortable. It wasn't close to anything except the freeway for our next destination. I had wanted to see more of Ann Arbor, but all the construction made it impossible to go anywhere.

The hotel is convenient to U of M campus. It's a short 12 minute drive to the campus. The food at the restaurant is good and moderately priced. When I arrived in my room, the closet door was broken so I had to change rooms. The hotel offered add on packages on their website that the staff at the restaurant knew nothing about so there was a discrepancy at check out. It was a fair stay. The staff are very cordial and polite. The welcome glass of champagne was a nice treat. Small kinks need to be worked out.

Perfect for my son and I as we were traveling. Very nicely remodeled room. Exceedingly comfortable beds. Wonderful pool, hot tub & sauna. Great breakfast “quick grabs” & a full breakfast for a few in the restaurant if you were interested. Courtyard was great for relax & staff was enthusiastic, helpful & welcoming. Close & easy to the interstate.
