Probably the quietest hotel I’ve ever been to! My only complaint is that the toilets were only big enough for kids. Practice your deep knee bends before sitting down. Bed and pillows could be firmer for sure!

Great Place to stay inn Ann Arbor

The hotel shows its age in some places but is overall a great place to stay anytime you're in Ann Arbor; Well, maintained property. It has a full service Restuarant that serves Breakfast and Dinner. Bills there can charged to room which is convenient.

Just average

Location is right outside of Briarwood Mall. The rooms are outdated. Our first room on first floor was very musty smelling. We spoke to I think Cade at the front desk and he moved our room. This room was not smelly but dated. Clean but dated. Bed was uncomfortable also. I probably would t stay there again but Cade was very helpful.
