I've been staying at this hotel since it opened a few years ago. After staying in a newer Holiday Inn in Louisville, KY, just before arriving here, I was aware this time of just how dated the decor is at this one.
However, the hotel remains very convenient, clean, and friendly. It is within walking distance to my work.
The only caution here is to avoid any restaurant food other than breakfast. The breakfast is fine, but dinner is not.
The rooms are very comfortable, and the bedding is excellent. All in all, a recommended hotel.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn while in Ann Arbor for a week of training at my new employer. I was very pleasantly surprised at check in. The hotel was much nicer than I expected. My room was clean and spacious. I ate at the hotel restaurant the first night, and for breakfast each day, and the food was decent (and very reasonably priced). The gym facilities were good as well.

What helped to make the stay great was the service from the staff. Everyone was so nice, led by the manager Mark. He actually drove us to our HQ each day, and gave us some great tips on places to see or eat in Ann Arbor. On a night that he was working late, he even drove us to downtown Ann Arbor, saving us a cab ride.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling for business or pleasure. I will happily stay here if I need to make a return trip to Ann Arbor.

First, make sure you have the exact address of this hotel. There is another Holiday Inn a short distance away on Briarwood. Overall negatives... It took 30 minutes to check in, with only one person ahead of me. There was another employee there, but they never came up to the desk to help. There were ants on the floor by the buffet snacking on crumbs, long after breakfast was over. My in room fridge did not work and I could not get it replaced for two days. And beware if you're there with a group. They have very strict rules and police the halls like mad after 10pm. That means after 10pm no kids are allowed to walk anywhere in the building without a parent, nor do they allowed kids under 16 in the pool at any time without a parent. Noone is allowed to gather in the halls, nor are groups of parents allowed in rooms after hours. So forget your cards, drinks, and snacks at home because you will be shut down immediately. So, that's the positive if you are staying there and want some peace and quiet. Also, treadmills were good in the workout room.

A very nice hotel in the usual level of Holiday Inn, indoor pool etc. Great for families. May be a bit noisy when groups of young students are there. For just sleeping near the campus, nearby Microtel is as good in half price.
