Check in was so-so. If the desk clerk smiled or showed any interest, it was while I was out of the room - but then it was midnight. Once in the hotel, the valet, front desk, hotel and housekeeping staff were cordial and friendly. I was greeted by name every time I entered the lobby, and really appreciated the gesture.... more

I stay in hotels ~ 120 nights / year and the customer service I experienced at the Bell Tower was the worst I have ever had in any hotel. This is a hotel with 1-star service trying to masquerade as a 4-star hotel! DO NOT stay here if you care about being treated as a valuable customer, or mind paying... more

I have contacted this guest three times without a response. We stand behind our service 100% and follow up on all issues as they are brought to our attention. I did not have the opportunity to address this issue as it was not brought to my attention, neither during nor after their stay. We are an elegant hotel with European...

This was such a great hotel.  If you tend to stay in roadside chain hotels, this may not suit you.  You have to enjoy fine hotels to truly enjoy this hotel!  The location can't be beat (right on the University of Michigan campus) and there are restaurants all around it.  The service was the best I have ever received and... more

Great little boutique hotel with character in the heart of Ann Arbor. Easy to walk to everything and experience the campus. Very European flare and service was outstanding with knowledgable people and very personal attention. Would stay there exclusively on any future trips to Ann Arbor. more

If I had paid for this hotel myself and my company had not paid for it I would've been a lot more upset with my stay. Our reservation was lost when we arrived and very little was done to remedy the situation. We had to log on to the hotel computer to show them our records of the reservation before... more

My family had the pleasure of staying at the Bell Tower for a recent graduation celebration. Located on the Uof M campus you are within walking distance of many excellent restaurants,bars,shops,etc. The staff were as friendly and professional as any I have ever encountered. The valet parking was convenient and efficient. Although it is an older hotel, the rooms and... more

My husband and I really needed a quick getaway and chose the Bell Tower Hotel. We are very familiar with Ann Arbor and love to walk everywhere and stop into the shops and restaurants. The Bell Tower is very well situated for this. We were treated well by all the staff and the valet parking was a nice touch. Our... more

Stayed here over a weekend with 4 other couples to celebrate a birthday. I'm pretty jaded (am a travel agent) so was delighted by the lovely hospitality. Staff could not have been more welcoming or attentive. I've learned that you have to compare apples with apples in this business. If you want to stay near the highway in a brand... more

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
