My son and I stayed in the Bell Tower Hotel on a one night visit to the University of Michigan. The location cannot be beat and it's a nice small hotel. Everything was neat and clean and a bit of a through-back (still use keys). They had complimentary valet parking and the hotel staff could not have been more friendly... More

Thank you for your kind words about our complimentary amenities. I still love the feel of a metal key in my hand. I know that is not standard now a days but we always look for ways to have higher standards than other hotels in Ann Arbor. Thanks again! DeWayne Grann General Manager More

This is a great choice if you want to be in Ann Arbor. The Hotel is well appointed and the staff is exceptionally nice. The only downside is the world's slowest elevator. More

Thank you for your great review. When making your next reservation, we will make sure to put you on the second floor so you are able to utilize the stairwell and not wait for the elevator. I agree, It can be slow during busy times. Thank you again for your review. Regards, DeWayne Grann More

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I was afraid that the one king bedded room would be too small for my daughter and I as we traveled up to see the Buckeyes take on the Wolverines, but even though it was small, it was cute and tidy. The hotel staff was wonderful and even though most of the other guests were... More

Our stay last week was wonderful. Fabulous staff with great restaurant recommendations for sharing a birthday dinner. We had some items that needed to refrigeration overnight and this was easily taken care of by the front desk staff. Parking was a made easy with the Bell Tower's valet service. Our room was small but comfortable and cozy. The only negative... More

Thank you for your response. I agree that our fitness room is quaint. We have limited space or we would most definitely increase the size of the room. We do however have new, up to date equipment and is sufficient most of the time. We look forward to your future visits. Sincerely, DeWayne Grann General Manager More

We stayed at the Bell Tower for a visit to the University of Michigan. It was perfect for us, we loved it! It's a beautiful historic building in a terrific location, just around the corner from shops and restaurants in Ann Arbor and a very short walk to the visitors center where the tours depart from. I can't believe anyone... More

I stayed at the Bell Tower on October 30. The location is ideal. The service was excellent, the staff being both very pleasant and very helpful. The look of the hotel is very nice, having an old world charm. The room itself, however, was much less pleasant. It needed some thorough updating. The furnishings are a bit shabby and there... More

I have stayed at the Bell Tower about a half dozen times and the main reason being the location. Central to the University of Michigan and probably two or three dozen restaurants within walking distance. Clean rooms, they do need an update, and competent staff. Parking is a big problem in Ann Arbor, but the Bell Tower has it covered.... More
