Great stay. Price was far better than other places nearby. The room was small, but it was very clean, high quality, and quite cozy. Staff were very friendly and professional. Definitely a go-to hotel in Ann Arbor.

Good location for main Ann Arbor attractions. Rooms are comfortable with nice bedding and pillows. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast had a good choice, I especially liked the fresh strawberries and blueberries this time. Only thing for us was our room was next to the car park and we experienced more outside noise than previous visits here. Would still return and recommend the hotel 😊

The location is excellent for central access to the U of M and to the concert hall. The bed was very comfortable. The room furniture and fixtures were good. I liked the dimable feature of the bed side lamps. The room was a little cramped. The bathroom was nice. To improve safety, particularly for seniors or anyone with an injury or balance issues, it would be very valuable to have a side grab bar and entry/exit vertical grab bar in the shower.

The Bell Tower location can't be beat and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms themselves are on the smaller side and there was lots of outside noise early in the morning when the garbage trucks show up, but I still enjoyed my stay.

Lovely hotel with an old fashioned feel. Excellent service. Only thing we wish we had known- the TVs are not smart TVs, so no streaming apps. Otherwise we had a great stay.
