Detailed Reviews
I have stayed here at least three times before, everything was the same or better. The queen 'studio suite' is not a suite per se (no separate bedroom) but a nice large room with a small kitchen. Full-size fridge with (fast) ice-maker, two-burner range, microwave and dishwasher.

Parking lot disaster, Potholes everywhere. Dangerous place to walk. Retaining walls deteriorating. Gym floor and equipment dusty. Out of date Televisions. Need smart TV;s to compete. Front desk knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Their hands are tied behind their backs given the lack of corporate$$ to update facility

Rented two adjoining (but not connected) rooms to attend a family reunion. Check-in and and all service needs were handled efficiently. Washers and dryers are free. Pets are more than welcome - pictures of dogs line the hallways. The price was very good for Ann Arbor in the summer. This property used to be a Candlewood Suites and is now being rebranded. All three luggage trolleys were missing when we were checking out on a Saturday morning.

I travel a lot for work this is the only hotel that I will stay at when I'm in Ann arbor.. The hotel employees are all very nice and willing to help. When you get to your room there is a sticker on the door that said the rooms was sanitized. There was a note from the Housekeeper Tiffany who cleaned the room.. The room was Very Clean and smelled Great. Thank you Tiffany.. Love the mini kitchen.. Only wishes the Shower head worked Better..But I will be back in a couple weeks

My wife and I spent a week in the time around the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair at this hotel. Each room comes equipped with a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator and a two burner cook top, plus, of course, a microwave. This served us admirably as we prepared virtually all of our meals in the spacious room.
The location is about ten minutes from downtown Ann Arbor and the U of M campus. There are a Whole Foods,a Pannera's and a Moes within a five minute walk. And on my morning walks in the adjacent quiet neighborhoods I saw numerous rabbits and woodchucks. It's a relaxing place.
The guest laundry is free.
The staff is competent and helpful. If you need any information regarding local places or events, Kellen is a great source - and a friendly guy.
We expect to be returning to the area next year and will be staying at this Sonesta property.
We give it my highest unqualified recommendation.

The suite was fine. The service was good. But this hotel did not provide housekeeping for stays of less than 7 days. No change of towels, no making of beds, no change of linens, no emptying garbage baskets, no vacuuming--nothing.
My wife and I stay in a lot of hotels, and we have never encountered this before. And this hotel was not inexpensive, $304 a night.

We're so sorry to hear you were unhappy with our weekly housekeeping service. Many of our guests stay long-term and enjoy the independence and privacy they get, with only weekly housekeeping intrusion should they desire it. It's not for everyone and we understand that. Thank you for giving us a chance! There are Sonesta hotels that do offer daily housekeeping service, so we hope you'll enjoy a stay at another Sonesta option in the future.

The water is “slimy” and it’s not possible to tell if you have fully rinsed off soap and shampoo. Fortunately, it came off after vigorously rubbing with my towel. The room was musty smelling, but it was clean. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean.

My husband, 2 dogs & I stopped for an overnight in Ann Arbor and were happily surprised to find such a nice, pet friendly place. We had an efficiency apt, with a mini kitchen, large room with a big desk, modern TV & a comfortable bed. The hotel was nicely furnished & decorated, reception desk very accommodating & friendly! We thought it was reasonably priced too. We look forward to staying here again!

Bare bones, twin beds and EXPENSIVE. This hotel was one of the biggest rip offs I have ever experienced. Over $250 a night for twin beds, no breakfast, no pool no general area to sit no nothing? I am looking at my bill of $560 for 2 nights and I am boiling. Absolutely ridiculous!!

Stayed for a week to be close to U of M hospital. Changed hotels due to dirty room, and broken toilet. We called the desk 3 times about our toilet not flushing. They came and attempted to repair it. It never flushed right. It ran and ran. We would call back, and they would come mess with it, and it still wouldn't work. Our socks were black from walking on the floor. I cleaned all hard surfaces with clorox, but the carpet must be filthy. The overall feel of the hotel was okay. Wish it was cleaner, and the toilet would've worked properly. Staff was friendly.

Yes, shampoo and soap are provided by the hotel.
We do not have any breed restrictions. Pets are required to be crated should a hotel employee need to enter the room (housekeeping, maintenance, etc...). There is a nightly pet fee; an additional cleaning fee would apply should there be damage to the room.
Pets are allowed with a nonrefundable fee of $15 for the first night and $10 for additional nights up to $150. Each pet must weigh less than 80 lbs. There is a pet agreement that they require you to sign during check-in that basically says that you're responsible for any damage incurred by your pet during your stay.
