The best thing about this over priced, slightly stuffy but overall nice hotel is the location in downtown Ann Arbor within walking distance to many bars, restaurants and activites. A big problem is NO room service after 10:30pm. Not something I would expect for an average room priced over $200.00 a night. Our room was clean, but could use some... More

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am sorry to hear that we were not able to deliver room service from Mercy's past 10:30PM. Hopefully you contacted the front desk so we were able to order from the numerous local restaurants that are able to deliver to your room. Thank you again. DeWayne Grann... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Bell Tower Hotel. It's location right in the middle of the U of M campus was great. The room was very nice and clean and the staff was warm and helpful. The hotel itself has a very warm, welcoming feel about it - not your sterile lobby type - more like an old world... More

I recently took my high school senior to visit University of Michigan. I chose to stay at the Bell Tower since everything in the main campus is within walking distance and you can walk through Ann Arbor very easily to shop or find a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner. The accomodations are very nice w/ attractive decor and very... More

I stayed for one night on a quick trip to Ann Arbor, and the staff couldn't be better. The hotel is of the "Grand Old" variety, and I like it very much. The valets parking my car were polite, helpful, and efficient; the desk clerk was great and called my room to make sure everything was ok. The location is... More

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We noticed a noise problem with the few connecting rooms and have solved that but may need to look into a solution to this problem. Thanks for your review and sharing your thoughts about the staff and level of service you received. Thanks again and I will most definitely look into solving... More

I visited the Bell Tower Hotel for the preview of Philip Glass's "Einstein on the Beach" JAN 21st. The hotel was walking distance to everywhere on campus. It wasn't even too hard to get to/from the Amtrak station. All the local food and entertainment spots were right around the block. The hotel was quiet and very comfortable. The staff was... More

Stayed for 4 nights. Had to ask for maid service to make up my room everyday, because it wasn't done by 3:00. They did not replenish coffee that was used, had to call down for it.
