“Starting to show its age”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed here 3 times in the past and would have given it a 5* rating. Sadly, on this occasion, things were not just right.
The hotel is well located near the freeway but just far enough away that its not too noisy. The car parking is excellent. Its about 3 miles from downtown so easy to get there as well.
My room was warm (good since its minus 3c outside) on arrival.
Now I have a few issues.
1 - My room was half clean/half not so clean....(see below) - the kitchen area was very clean so no issues there.
2 - This was a no smoking room but evidence of smoking was very clear and there were those awful brown marks in the bathroom where thoughtless customers had put down cigarettes on the bathroom surfaces
3 - My biggest issue, when I went to bed, I noticed a bright pink lump of gum stuck on the bedpost!!! - How on earth the cleaner missed this is beyond belief - Disgusting.
4 - The alarm in the bedroom had been set (presume by the previous guest) to 2.30AM and left running. I was therefore awakened at 2.30AM.
5 - When I finally got out of bed and into the shower, I noticed that the clock in the bedroom was showing the time to be 7am when in actual fact, the time was 6am. This is just careless from housekeeping who should check these things.

On reflection, I should have complained, particularly about the gum on the bedpost but, I was tired and also in my bedclothes.
Overall, the place is fine BUT these odd things let it down on this occasion.

“Best place for football game trip! Walking distance to stadium!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

This hotel is great. I would say it deserves a solid 3 star. It's clean, somewhat updated (no flat screen tv, but amenities nice), comfortable bed with multiple types of pillows available. It has a gym, a little store with snacks that's open later, and now they have a huge delivery service for food that will deliver until 4am! The best part about this hotel is that it is within walking distance to the stadium (about a mile). I highly recommend staying here for a visit to Ann Arbor.

“GREAT LOCATION FOR FOOTBALL SATURDAY!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

We actually had no idea how close to the Stadium we actually were and we saved time and money and actually walked to the game on a Saturday!! (It's about a mile and a half) The hotel is not a "grand dame", but it was clean and comfortable and very close to Campus and Downtown Ann Arbor for a reasonable price.

It is an extended stay, so they do not clean the room daily (which was fine with us). We did get fresh towels the second night, just asked the front desk clerk and he was happy to oblige. He also came up with a couple of extra pillows for us!

The full size fridge and microwave came in handy as well!!! We would stay again.

“This place is showing its age”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

This is the 2nd time we've been here since 2009, and the place is showing its age. It's an OK place to be, and it's convenient for us, but...water pressure lousy, trash in the halls all night, and the overall appearance is not what it was. It needs an overhaul to be sure. Staff was nice but we didn't need much from them. Like I said, this was OK. Just OK.

“Unprofessional Staff and Management - Companies be warned”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

The Sales and Management staff had a verbal agreement with our Engineering Firm to provide room when available at a negotiated rate. After many nights of staying with them, we booked a room and were abruptly told at the last minute that they could not honor our rate, giving no written or verbal warning of this change what so ever which left us stranded. This was due to how busy they were now, and even though they were not sold out, they tried to tell me they were. Very unprofessional.
