I visited the Bell Tower Hotel for a one night stay during my trip to interview at the U of M Medical Center. The website looked promising and the location on campus was ideal. I looked forward to a comfortable one night stay. The hotel itself is mediocre and therefore very overpriced. They use metal keys for their doors, there... more

The Bell Tower Hotel is a unique European décor hotel. The guest is correct; we are located on the University of Michigan’s campus and proudly offer an evening turndown service and complimentary valet parking and metal keys. Unfortunately, the guest was not aware of our state of the art fitness facility that is open 24 hours. Our policies allow our...

The Bell Tower is a very pleasant, centrally-located hotel. The staff is helpful and friendly, and seemed extremely willing to help guests out with local information, dinner reservations, etc., although I personally did not use these services. My room was immaculate. And as I said, it's in a great location, within walking distance of most things you'd want to do... more

I was a student at Michigan and always looked to the Bell Tower hotel as a fancy place. I finally got a chance to stay there and I was pretty disappointed. I had expected a boutique hotel and instead found my room blase and boring. I found I wanted to get out on campus more than enjoy the comforts of... more

Bell Tower has a great location, steps from campus. The room and bathroom were clean and the staff was pleasant. The hotel is relatively old and the decor reflects that. The mattress was stiff and uncomfortable. I understand that accomodations in Ann Arbor are only average and for that reason, I might stay at the Bell Tower in the future. more

Great place

If you want a place where the employees try to make you feel welcome, stay here. The bathroom had a shower only and was outdated but beyond that, it was a lovely hotel! The service definitely compensated for the rooms. more

The Bell Tower has excellent staff and service and has the best location right in the midst of campus. BUT... it needs updating -- and badly. The rooms have probably not been touched since the early 80s and it shows. The rooms are tiny, the bathrooms even tinier and the beds must be twenty years old. They should start with... more

Stayed in this hotel with my wife for a wedding in June. First let's start with the positive traits; excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, complimentary valet parking, nice restaurant and bar. This hotel would really shine with a renovation to bring it into the present day. I realize that this property prides itself on its history but some... more

Stayed one night last weekend. First floor room looked out on parking lot and that brick wall elsewhere mentioned. The room was small though reasonably well lit and equipped. Like many similar properties, the decor and fixtures were quite dated. At nine a.m., the breakfast room was nearly deserted but all the tables were dirty. Like many other campus hotels... more

We were in Ann Arbor for a football game so location was our main concern. The hotels location is right on campus, we parked the car and were able to walk everyplace. The staff is friendly, for an older hotel they do keep the rooms clean including the towels and linens. Rooms are very small, if I stayed again I... more
