“Not a place to stay!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

At first sight the picture in the ad made it look cozy. The reality is that it was far from cozy! The receptionist was helpful and has a pleasant personality. The hotel is quite run down and reminded me of an innercity south Chicago hotel I was forced to stay in once. Eww! The shower and toilet in my room was clean enough. The bedding was worn and the carpet was quite stained. There were sketchy people coming and going from the parking lot all night. The worst was a strange woman beating on my door waking me out of my much needed sleep at 6:30am! When I told her she had the wrong room she proceeded to the next and beat on the doors until she found who or whatever she was looking for. Breakfast was a sad and small selection. I stayed at this hotel because of price and proximity to the UofM hospital for a surgery my cousin was undergoing. It was recommended by a nurse?! Things that make you go Hmm. Will NOT ever stay there again and wished I would have gone elsewhere!
Also we needed a handicapped room and when we arrived they had none. The entire lower level of this hole in the wall is for people that reside there long term. It says no pets but we found some there, Just do yourself a favor and don't go!

“Will stay here again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Stayed here 6 nights during death in family. Wonderful, homey atmosphere. Staff, owner very personable. Large room, microwave, frig, coffee maker, beds felt fine, good shower, saw no problems. So glad to find a place I can afford when I visit Ann Arbor in the future. Very popular place. Trader Joes grocery next door, coffee place across street. Paid 60/night with tax. Weekends more--U of M football fans love this place.

“Accommodating & Helpful Staff @ The Lamp Post Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

Bruce, Miranda, Emily, Stephanie & all the helpful staff @ Lamp Post Inn will bend over backwards to welcome you and make your stay in lovely Ann Arbor, MI, the best ever! I do not feel like the big lodging chains can or do provide personalized service. Our S.C. family has stayed at the Lamp Post Inn for > 4 years now, not just for a day or two, but sometimes for weeks! We have always received exceptional, personalized service at the Lamp Post Inn. All you have to do is ask?! I don't compare the Lamp Post Inn to other lodgings. I don't judge the Lamp Post Inn either. I look at the positives/benefits of the Lamp Post Inn like the following: (1) Walking distance to Univ. of Mi. (2) Trader Joe's Grocery right next door (3) Walking distance to Whole Foods & restaurants (4) County Park & walking trails right next door (5) Comfortable room to sleep in (6) Great Value. To close, during your stay at the Lamp Post Inn, if you don't like the pillow, just ask for another one!

“Avoid”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

Pro's: Staff were friendly and responsive.
Con's: If this motel were just outdated it wouldn't be a problem, we expected that. However, the room looks nothing like the pictures on the website. Floors were spotted and dirty with extension cords running under the carpeting. The door didn't fit in the frame so when people smoked outside the door smoke quickly came in. Bathroom window was cracked. Only outlet in the room required you to crawl on hands and knees to plug something in. Door are very thin so noise from outside comes in. I was embarassed to have my parents staying at such a grungy place.

“The good, the bad, and the ugly”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

I used hotwire to make a reservation for my adult son during mid June. I ended up staying one night with him. He was there for three nights.

The Good:
Our rate was just under $50
My son seemed reasonably satisfied
Great location to U of Mich

The Bad:
Bed was so so for comfort
The pillows less so
The breakfast was sparse

Th Ugly:
The room odor
The carpeting
The bathroom

This hotel could be ok, but it's currently in desperate need of a major renovation
