“Decent and good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

Stayed one night on a trip to meet with an old friend and colleague. I had a bad experience checking on line for another hotel (went to the hotel and didn't like it since it didn't match the on-line description), so I chose this from the car.
I found this to be a decent and comfortable hotel.
The front desk was especially cheerful and friendly
I found that the room was clean and well kept

“Almost Like Home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

A nice inviting place to stay, whether on business or pleasure. I've stayed on both occasions.

Staff is very friendly and attentive. Also has a nice little bar and restaurant area that works great for those late nights on business. Pool works great if you have time to enjoy it and the exercise room is perfect!

Like my home, this hotel isn't old but does need a few things soon that we noticed - all based on my latest stay: stronger internet service, bed mattresses need updating or flipping (they are getting "hollow" spots), hallway maintenance including new carpet / runners.

In summary, this is one of the best Holiday Inns in the area - enjoy it!

Room Tip: The double beds are smaller than I am used to. So when in doubt go for the King Size bed option.

“Worst hotel value in Ann Arbor for your hard earned dollar...never again.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

This is a dated Holiday Inn that is actually more expensive than most of the newer hotels in the Ann Arbor area that have much larger suite type rooms and complimentary breakfast. If you must have a Holiday Inn there is a much newer Holiday Inn and Express across the street at Briarwood Mall. This hotel has the old crackerjack box size room, where you can hear the doors slam, the people in the hall, the people talk and their TV in the room next door. The plumbing is beat with lousy water pressure and varying water temperature, You actually have to pay for the joke of a breakfast buffet here. If you do stay here just walk or drive up to Beni's diner on Industrial drive for breakfast, its cooked to order, much better and cheaper. The staff here really doesnt seem to be concerned with customer service, they seemed to be put out that they actually have to do their job.

Dear Mr. Steve S.,

Thank you for taking the time to offer feedback about your recent stay at our hotel. It is disappointing to hear that you did not enjoy your stay and your impression of our facilities and amenities was so unfavorable.

“Nice clean bright hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

This is a nice hotel, good location, newer, clean, well lit, plenty of coffee, even in the afternoon! However, they have those VERY annoying small pillows.This is the second time I have encountered these poor substitutes. Stop it hotels!

“Perfect for Our Visit to Ann Arbor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

We booked this hotel for a visit to the Big House and found it to be a great location. Closer to the highway but without traffic noise. In fact, this hotel was quiet considering it was a game weekend. There was plenty of parking and food close by. Our room was clean and the entire staff was friendly, always saying "hello" when we passed. Ani at the front desk was especially helpful and accommodating when we informed her we wished to stay an extra night.

We would definitely stay here on our next visit to Ann Arbor.
