Paid extra for a Queen Corner Suite for view of ugly backs of buildings and dumpsters (see photos). Cable TV didn't work for most channels (see photo). Wi-Fi didn't work much of the time. Our room was smelly and dark. Website photos make rooms seem much brighter than they are. At average $300/night, this was not good value. read more

I adored my stay at Bell Tower Hotel. You can't beat the location, right on campus of UM, and within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and shops on State St. The hotel itself has a historic feel, but still had updated and spotless surfaces, linens, furnishings etc. I can't remember the last time I actually received a physical KEY to a hotel room, which was fun. The bathroom was quaint, but so nice. The shower was SO clean. My only critique is that the water pressure wasn't great, but it was workable. The blow dryer looked like it was from 1982, but, to my surprise, it worked as good or better than mine at home. From beginning to end, I had a great stay, and would highly recommend Bell Tower Hotel. hairdryer water pressure key read more

The only thing this hotel has going for it is location. Otherwise it is a very old property with a false fasciae comparable to middle of the road motel at 1/3 the price. As a frequent traveler I could go on with comments like lack of water pressure and hot water. This place is OLD and has not had infrastructure updated. read more

My room was so noisy that I could not sleep. It was on the back alley, and there were cars revving motors, and people screaming at all hours of the night. I finally went to the front desk at 2 a.m. and asked to be moved to a different room in the front of the hotel. They moved me for the next night, but it was nearly as noisy there. I wouldn't stay here again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially on a football weekend. read more

Very old hometown. Everything is stuck in the 1900s only good thing is it's very close to University of Michigan. Other than that I would rather go to the graduate hotel. read more

Beware BEFORE you book this property that you will NOT get your room serviced during your stay. There is a tiny sign on the front desk counter (at the opposite end where you check in - nice obfuscation!) that says something about due to covid they're only servicing rooms after three nights. We discovered this after two nights and a dirty room we requested a service. Nope! And they pointed to the little sign. I said that was not indicated at reservation or check in, and the young man responded "They should have told you at check in." Since our room was dirty we decided to read in the lobby. Guess what, NONE of the four families that checked in while we were there were made aware of this policy. I can over look this at a cheap hotel. But for $400 a night? I felt like saying, "Due to the lack of service I'm only paying every third night." This is just a poorly run hotel who doesn't feel like hiring the staff to properly service their customers, using covid as an excuse. Our friends stayed at an off campus property just as nice for $200 a night and they got their room serviced (funny how a Hampton Inn can find workers). Just a $7 Uber ride away. If you want to look at a messy room, wet towels, and a useless Keurig machine (because you used the couple pods they give you when you arrive) then ther Bell Tower Hotel is just for you! I wish I could give zero stars. read more

This hotel is phenomenal! It is conveniently located in relation to the University of Michigan campus with a classical charm. They serve a delicious breakfast. The only problem is that, being a smaller facility, rooms are very limited. Good luck booking accommodations around peak times, such as graduation season or maybe a major sporting event! All in all, I would say it has a vibe evocative of the bed & breakfast in Groundhog Day. ("I GOT YOU BABE...") read more

Sorry. I get the charm. I get the location. But for the price ($500/night) I can't justify more than 3 stars. Yes, it was a football weekend, but there were too many misses to turn the other cheek in that "supply and demand" universe. It's dated. The AC/heat system struggles. The sheets are scratchy. We were given only 2 bath towels. We had no back up toilet paper (which we learned at a less than ideal time) And the room was tiny. I feel like I'm whining, but it's the truth. Great, make your money on those "in demand" weekends. But please put some of it back into the property. I must add, however, that the front desk and valet staff are very nice and did work to make things right. read more

This place rocked. Fairly affordable and they upgraded us from a standard room to a suite so that was super cool. Loved the old school feel from the minibar to the bathrobes to the beautiful lobby with signed picture of Gerald Ford, the one Michigan alum president so far! Really allowed us to enjoy A2 even more. GO BLUE!! read more

We were guests at the Bell Tower Hotel from July 5-7, 2024 during which time our pristine Honda CRV with only 1500 miles on the odometer, was parked in valet parking. We used our car once during our stay only to drive to the Graduate Student Housing dorm less than 2 miles away to pickup our grandson after which we immediately returned to the Bell Tower and the valet parked our vehicle in the parking structure next to the hotel. We did not see our vehicle again until we checked out the morning of 7/7/2024. Thereafter, we drove straight home to the Dayton, OH area and parked our vehicle in the garage. When we opened the garage door the morning of 7/8/2024 and saw the car in the sunlight, we saw a gray, dusty-looking area on the front passenger side door. Unable to brush it off, we got some soap and water and washed what felt like a fine, gritty substance off the car. Underneath the grit was a significant scratched area and a slight indentation on the door. We contacted the Bell Tower immediately and left a message for the assistant general manager, Mike Naper. We eventually had the chance to talk to him and he told us that he talked to the two valets who had parked our CRV and they both denied having any issues in the parking structure (which interestingly has light gray cement pillars). He also said he talked to the GM and looking at the pictures we emailed to him, they concluded that the damage could not have been caused by the pillars in the parking structure. He also told us that since we did not notice the disguised damage until after we had driven home, it could have happened elsewhere. The bottom line was that they accepted no responsibility for the damage to our CRV despite the fact that it happened when our vehicle was in their possession. Mike Napper essentially accused us of being liars because we didn't notice it until after we left the Bell Tower on July 7th. We are confident that had we tried to brush the gray, dusty-looking area off when the valet returned our vehicle to us, he would have said it could have been there when we arrived on July 5th! The Bell Tower never had any intent to accept responsibility for something that happened by one of its valets. Ironically, we took our Honda CRV to two collision centers and they both told us that the damage to our vehicle was entirely consistent with it having hit something when it was being driven into a parking space where there were obstacles read more

I thought the room was a little small, but honestly didn't bug me. The bed was comfy and the room had everything I needed. The lamps on desk and. Ext to bed both had plugs for phone both usb and reg plug...I liked that. The kurig was great and had coffee and tea. They had earl grey and dunkin doughnuts. Shower was clean - I'm short so it was hard to change the setting on the shower head. An nothing bad as I'm sure taller people will like this as many shower heads tend to be short. Counter was a little small for the ladies that need to spread out. Blow dryer worked great. HUGE walk in for a hotel. Lol No fridge or microwave. Was a bummer, a small fridge would be good for leftovers. read more

Stayed recently for 2 nights. Had the smallest room you could get (small queen) and paid premium price $201.00 per night. My walk in closet at home was half the size of the room. No mini-fridge, no mini microwave and NO PARKING!! The hotel makes you pay $25/night for valet service (plus tip, of course) which is really NOT A GOOD VALUE. I lugged my own bags to and from my car. Valet parked my car when I arrived and brought it back when I left the hotel. So, it was $50 valet plus $10 tip each time - a whopping $70! Fire alarm in the building went off FOUR times in 24 hour period. Fire department had to come and turn off alarm at 4pm, 12:30am, 4:00am and 9am. Quite sure the Ann Arbor fire department could have been tending to real emergencies, not false alarms at Bell Tower Hotel. Sure this hotel has seen its grander days back in 1947 when it was built. The hotel front exterior needs basic updating and looks very shabby with its faded red canopies above the windows and faded and torn flags. Giving a poor first impression as you arrive. Room was basically clean, but the carpet smelled bad and could have used a good shampooing. Overall impression was I spent a lot of money, for not much of anything. I'll been going back to the Inn at Michigan League for my next stay at U of M. read more

I definitely promised these fine folks a review and I don't think the concierge actually believed my level of dedication to writing Yelp reviews so here it is! I was in town a few weeks ago with a friend who was giving me a tour of Ann Arbor and I suppose we were drinking quite a bit and needed a place to sleep. I think this place is allegedly haunted? I didn't sense any hauntings other than perhaps John Malkovich's presence. I did really love and partook in the bench shower. This shower was large enough that I really didn't even miss the idea of swimming pools and fully regret not throwing a shower pool party while the opportunity was there but I was both fairly inebriated and exhausted when coming back to hotel. OH. There's a tv in the bathroom! I've never seen something like this before in my life so you can imagine my level of excitement. I liked the large chess set on display and insisted we should not touch it because of covid. Everything was clean. I remember there being fiji water. The staff was pretty exceptional. They even have disposable face masks in the lobby if your friend should happen to forget his. read more

Bell Tower Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We were quite disappointed. The amenities were fin. Valet was perfect. We generally take 2 showers per day. We quickly discovered that the hot water in our room was not very hot, more like very warm. I informed them after day 1 and after suggesting we "let the water run for 20 minutes" as a solution by acknowledging a 4th floor water problem .... and my response of "I did that" they promised to have maintenance look at it. The next day there was no difference or follow up. When checking out I explained my displeasure with what they call a 4-1/2 star hotel. in response we received $50 credit on our valet charges. We were simply quite disappointed. No restaurant or bar in the hotel is kind of a disappointment as well. I would not recommend this establishment. Hot water is right up there with clean sheets and quiet atmosphere! read more

Husband and I stayed this past weekend as a quick getaway and was not let down. Beautiful hotel, great location, and our view was fantastic. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE. I normally struggle to sleep in a bed that isn't my own, but I was pleasantly surprised. We will be back again! read more

Lots to like about this hotel -- the location, the free New York Times, the cookies, apples, and water in the lobby, the continental breakfast, the comfortable rooms. But until they improve the staff, I can't give it more than two stars. Such a shame, but it boils down to selecting staff and training them well. read more

Booked for the great location and was initially impressed with our 2nd floor view of the tower. However, it was a rather windy night and our room #211 was directly level with the flags over the hotel entrance. The clanking of the flag ropes and rustling of the flags was such an annoyance all night long! Upon check-out they claimed that this was the first time they ever heard of that! I tried to cover the noise of the flags with the fan control in the room, however that would only blow out hot air no matter how low I set the thermostat. Request a room away from the street! read more

Quaint and cozy hotel located in the heart of University of Michigan's campus. Friendly and professional staff with convenient valet parking. What drives this rating is the unfortunate practice of either the university or City of Ann Arbor emptying a large trash bin at 4:30 every morning. Having stayed here four nights in the current year and being awakened at this time every morning is frustrating. When I inquire about the noise I am told by staff to wear earplugs. Be aware. read more

A historic hotel with a sense of days-gone-by elegance, yet not stuffy or shabby. Furnishings were simple and updated, yet kept the "feel" of period furnishings. USB charging ports were conveniently located at the base of lamps. Very clean and comfortable. Even grout and corners in the bathroom were spotless. The room we were originally assigned to apparently had A/C issues, as the room remained warm even after the thermostat had been turned down and left to run for several hours in the afternoon. We told the front desk and then went out to dinner. When we came back, we inquired at the desk as to whether someone had checked on our room. She told us that they had, but she didn't know what they found. We went up to the room and found that it was still uncomfortably warm, even though the thermostat was set at 60 degrees. After another trip to the front desk, they changed our room for us and upgraded us to a suite, even though we did not request anything other than another regular room. We had a comfortable night's rest, but did hear some trash collection noise outside at about 5:30 am. We were awake anyway, so no big deal for us. Breakfast was plentiful and very good...much better than chain hotels. Real scrambled eggs that were properly seasoned, real bacon, fresh berries, yogurt, an assortment of cereals, breads, juices, and pastries. The coffee was fresh and very good. read more

I'm a busy lady these days, but as soon as I have some time (and cash) I'm opening a swanky boutique hotel in Metro Detroit. But until then if you're coming to Ann Arbor I hear the Bell Tower Hotel is pretty much the best they've got. It's a fine hotel, but the wow factor just isn't there... * The people who work here are nice enough * The room is cozy and was probably quite nice back in the 80s * They have internet access, although it's an ethernet cord (hello bell tower- get with the wifi program) * There's an adequate gym in the basement that has 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, and 1 weight machine * They have nightly turn down service (thanks for my chocolate). The location makes up for the lack of wowness so I'd probably stay here again if the price was right (under $150 seems like a fair deal). read more

Stayed at the Hotel over This last weekend for the Art Fair. The Hotel is very close to the Art Fair Booths. Big plus! The Hotel is a bit old fashioned but very nice. They have the giant keys for the door. No cards. Haven't seen that in years. Then they have a TV in the bathroom mirror. What a clash of old and new. Beds extremely comfortable. Loved the mattress. Has to be top 3 of beds in a hotel I have slept on. That good. They gave us free bottles of water every day and chocolate. That is always appreciated. The continental bfast was okay. Nothing crazy. But adequate. Staff was very nice and courteous. All in all s good 2-night stay. I would stay there again. read more

This is a pricey hotel that is very old and has functional problems. I arrived on a Sunday night and come Monday morning, found myself trapped in the elevator at 730am. The hotel has only one VERY old elevator with no speaker system, just an alarm. So I rang it and rang it... It was terrifying, btw. Fortunately, one staff member-- a college kid-- showed up, but then he disappeared to look for something. I was really lucky that the door eventually opened by itself 10 minutes later. Even he was surprised by how it worked out and agreed that it's just really old. I would have loved to complain about my experience to someone, but the only front desk staff I EVER saw were college kids, so it seemed pretty fruitless to be mad at them for structural issues with the hotel. In any case, after that experience, the elevator was out of order for the week, meaning THIS IS NOT A HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE HOTEL. It might be on some days, but I would not chance it. Other problems: the AC is also really old and blows directly on you, so if you are trying to work at the desk in your room, it will either be blasting at you so that you can't do anything, or you have to turn it off altogether and be hot. The strengths of this hotel is the location. Also, the breakfast is good even if it is the same exact combination of scrambled eggs and potatoes every single day. If there's one thing to change, it would be the attitude of proving you are a hotel resident when you go to breakfast. No one says hi or goodbye to you, just "I need to know what room you are in." read more

I accidentally booked a room through Expedia at 9pm yesterday and MINUTES LATER realized it was for YESTERDAY! Clearly it was a mistake and Expedia told me they couldn't refund me but the hotel could. I called and was connected to "Karen" who literally told me she would refund my money IF I booked another room for this weekend which I was initially trying to do. I was told by the person before her that the only rooms available had to be booked for two nights at 1000.00 dollars a NIGHT!!! This is fraudulent, and I can't believe she actually attempted to blackmail me! I spoke with the manager who was rude and basically said and did the same thing! This is absolutely unacceptable and I will continue to pursue a resolution!! read more

Horribly understaffed! They force you to valet and charge you $25 per day BUT the valet is never available. When we got to the hotel, we were told the valet was in a meeting. We had to park our own car and bring our bags to our room ourselves. We were then told we had to leave our keys at the front desk. Again, never saw the valet. We wanted to go to dinner and were handed our keys so that we could go get our own car, which we did. Then when we returned to the hotel, we couldn't park the car next to the hotel because cars were lined up and there was NO VALET. I went inside, leaving my car in the middle of the street, looking for the valet. I was told "I am the valet but I'm with customers checking them in." Are you the valet or the front desk attendant? I then had to put my car in an alley waiting for the valet and 15 minutes later, he showed up to park it. In the morning, again, no valet. We brought our own bags down to the lobby and waited 15 minutes to get our car. There was no line on front of us. We simply had to wait because the Valet couldn't be found. Yet, we still had to pay the $25 valet fee despite there being a non- existent valet. Either hire enough people so there is an active valet or let people handle their own cars and luggage and don't charge them. read more

Centrally located, charming lobby, cute though basic rooms! The best part of this place is the breakfast - which was totally legit! I mean, seriously, the breakfast is a missed advertising opportunity! They call it "continental" but it most certainly is not! It's a full-on hot breakfast buffet - with sausages, bacon, eggs, bagels and other breads, FRESH berries, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and more! So yummy!! read more

Disappointing - while the hotel was an older type boutique hotel - it was somewhat updated. The true downside was we valet parked our car - when our car was brought to us the next day we did not do a walk around. We got to our next stop and went to open our back lift gate and someone had backed our car into something - the left taillight was broken and the sheet metal above it dented in. Although the hotel staff said they did not do it when we called - it is just not possible it didn't happen there. Lesson learned - always walk around your car after valet parking at BellTower. A truly positive was the dining room waitstaff in the morning - she was excellent! read more

When presented with only a handful of "meh" hotel options in (super cool) Ann Arbor, the Bell Tower's location moved it up to the top for me. And that's the best attribute - the location. Inside, Bell Tower is pretty dated - even the rooms are still on a literal lock and key. Some of it is charming and other portions are stale. The rooms themselves are a mix of simple, cozy yet 80s/90s revival. I appreciate the updated bathrooms and free, stable Wifi. The flat screen TV was great for my Scandal watching and cleanliness was up to par. A solid three stars for the room and friendly staff to boot. And while I didn't make it this time, the free breakfast looked pretty choice. A few other items that could be improved upon/didn't delight me... -The walls are super thin. I could hear an entire conversation from the room next door while sitting at my desk. -The pipes are incredibly noisy -The workout room is very small with one treadmill, one elliptical, one weight machine and a small set of hand weights. There's very little room to walk around the machines for additional exercise. $205 for the night (including tax) seemed a little steep for the above, so I think I'll continue looking for other options during my next stay in Ann Arbor. read more

Nice, charming hotel in the heart of Ann Arbor next to the U Michigan campus. Check in was an easy process and I was offered a free room upgrade to a suite. The room was charming, with antique-appearing furniture and a separate living room area. There was complimentary breakfast, although I did not get to try this. The location is great; you can walk to the downtown areas on Main st and State st easily. read more

When I'm in town next I'll be staying here again. This is the tiny sister hotel to the Campus Inn, with a slightly but not-too-recognizable improvement on value. For Ann Arbor you can't do a whole lot better, it gets the job done. It feels like it would be an awesome boutique hotel if Starwood or Kimpton purchased them and updated the styling and made some tasteful improvements. Overall it is in a great location if you're in town for a campus event, bar hopping, or what have you. Free valet parking (make sure to tip well of course) was a nice plus, and the staff was super friendly. The room I had was super small, around a few corners, up some stairs, and what not. But it felt like it had character: and by character, I mean I was thinking to myself: "all that's changed since I was born in Ann Arbor... is pretty much the additional of an ethernet plug in the room." Oh, and no wireless Internet. So a walk to Espresso Royale is required for free web'ing. (Michigan alum) read more

Sent my daughter there for a rest from a sick roommate. She stayed there two nights and then wanted to stay a third. They kicked her out saying she was not 21, even though she had already stayed there 2 nights! They were incredibly rude and treated her poorly. She left crying. I called to tell them what happened and they did nothing but a simple apology. I was shocked! If you want repeat business, especially from University students and parents, you should have made things right... read more

This is a really cute spot. I hung out here with people I know from LA --there are cute little details in the rooms, like a black iron balcony with patio furniture, feet on the bathtub, and ornate water faucets. They are also home to the Earle Downtown. They have great customer service, they safely stowed away my baby carriage when I wasn't even a guest, and they allowed my friend to have her bridal luncheon here in a conference room for free. read more

I stayed here for just one night for business reasons. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the valet and front desk staff who were very pleasant and courteous. The front desk employee handed me a business package I was expecting to be waiting for me. Very organized. I like that. Interestingly, they handed me an actual room key (not a card key), and I was on my merry way. The room was spacious enough for two, and everything was super clean, especially the bathroom. Minus one star for the tacky flower-decorated drapes and bedspread. Although....the red, pink, and white roses (real) in a vase on the desk was a nice touch. I know, I know, the irony. I'm not sure what this place goes for per night since my accommodations were.....well, accommodated for since I was on business. But I would have to agree with another Yelper that I would not pay more than $150 per night. If you want something extremely close both to the Michigan campus and downtown area, this place is worth looking into. read more

Stayed here for the past 2 days, while looking at UMich. Really great experience. The hotel is kind of old-school elegant, not super fancy or anything, but inviting and with more local personality than an average chain. The staff were simply the best -- super nice, helpful, friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic! Genuinely warm people who knew about good service. The room was very clean and nice, simple but comfortable. Good water pressure too! Free WiFi, close to Starbucks and CVS, literally right next to the campus, and while they didn't have an over-priced movie-renting service on their TV like most hotels, we were pleased to see all the HBO channels. Great complimentary continental breakfast with lots of options and nice seating in their restaurant. They even gave us a complimentary NY Times. I could not commend the staff more. They were so gracious and our entire stay was very enjoyable. We left asking ourselves why anyone would rate them less than 4 stars, at the very least. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else if I visited Ann Arbor again. read more

Stayed for two nights. Internet was very bad in room, but staff responded and switched rooms and it worked great. The staff couldn't be friendlier. Best location for university. Only valet parking, amd valet not always around. Overall I would stay here again. read more

Disclaimer: I never know how to review places that I visit for work (and so don't pay for myself). I think if the money had come out of my own pocket, this might be a two-star review. Ok, compliment sandwich time! So, the Bell Tower's location is fantastic... but I woke to garbage trucks beeping loudly every morning at 6am, and the decor is just awful - all the floral you can handle, and literally paintings of a polo match and a sailboat on the walls, which I seriously contemplated taking down for my stay. I like chocolate and water as much as the next person, but I like not wearing pants more, so I'm pretty anti-turndown service. The bathroom had an odd chemical smell, which was supposedly but not really handled by maintenance. ...and the desk staff was excellent! Looks like a lot of compliment sandwich filling to me. Ann Arbor doesn't offer much in the way of options in this area, but I'd try them before coming back to the Bell Tower. read more

Everyone I came into contact with her was professional, helpful and provided great service. The hotel is nicely kept up, clean and the location right by the university is convenient. Unfortunately, those things can't overcome my issues with this hotel. I'll start with accessibility. The ADA compliance here is right at the limit. The front doors are not easy to open if you're in a wheelchair. Sometimes the valets are there and they open the doors, but they are not always present. Then there are stairs up to the elevator. There is an awkward lift off the lobby but you have to get help, which means waiting if staff are busy. Then most of the rooms I've been in (four over the last few years) have a big step up into the bathroom - not something that is helpful in the middle of the night in a strange room. Bathrooms are cramped with tiny shower stalls that are difficult for anyone over 6' or 200 lbs. If you are smaller than this, fine, but if not be prepared. I'm guessing they have a room for the differently-abled folks without the bathroom step, but it's still awkward. When I mention these things when I visit, they say its because its a historic building and there are limits, but I see the university updating all of its buildings to be more accessible, Ann Arbor government should help this business if that is the case. Other complaints are the spotty, unreliable wifi, which they say they are replacing, and the noise. The walls are very thin, they haven't done anything to dampen the doors from slamming - both to rooms and to the stairway. Additionally, if you are the south side, facing the alley, the garbage trucks must back all the way down that alley at 5am, so the reverse beeping is loud and long. Lastly, on my final visit the previous guest left the windows ajar, so the grease fan from the restaurant across the way blew right into the room. I managed to close the windows and told reception so they have housekeeping check windows when they do the rooms. I"m surprised they didn't smell how strong it was. Again, service was great, I got an apology and the staff asked what else they could to help. But the combination of the layout, noise, etc. makes me not want to return. read more

Comfortable stay. Quaint. Small rooms. Conveniently located. Everything in walking distance. Breakfast average, not impressive.

Andrea R's review is on the money. The people at the Bell Tower are very nice, but the actual accommodations really lack the sort of flavor you would expect for this price range. As also noted, the location certainly isn't bad, so if you're in need of a close-to-campus, "intended-as-upscale" lodging facility whilst in Ann Arbor, then the BT is a start. They provide a complimentary valet service, continental breakfast, awful floral window dressings circa 1976 and dirty, peeling caulk in the casket like shower within the closet-sized bathroom you have step up into. It reminds me of a musty live-in hotel in NYC, just a little cleaner. All in all, it's a pretty rough scenario for the pricing they ask for... So why three stars instead of two? It's weird and outdated, but the friendly atmosphere coupled with free wi-fi and valet put me in a better mood. The Bell Tower is not *that* bad, but is in desperate need of a facelift. It just sure as hell is not the upscale hotel it presents itself as. read more

I had a lovely stay at the Bell Tower, probably my best hotel experience in the past two years. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the room was very clean, cozy, and convenient. I had no trouble with the heat, though the room was slightly drafty. I just turned the heat up, and I was quite cozy. As for the trash pickup in the morning around 6:30, I was up, and I did notice it was noisy. I always pack earplugs, which I'm sure would solve the problem for light sleepers. The little touches were really nice--New York Times outside the door every morning, a note by the bedside with tomorrow's high and low temperatures, and the convenient little restaurant downstairs. I would highly recommend the hotel if you plan to stay in Ann Arbor. It is also literally across the street from the University of Michigan, so it made my university-related trip very easy. read more

I stayed here for a recent conference; it is very clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect for anybody visiting the University of Michigan. During my trip I came down with the flu, and the staff went out of their way to allow me to extend my stay by an extra night in the same room. They even left a card under my door wishing me a speedy recovery. Considering how terrible it is to get sick while on the road, the kindness of the Bell Tower staff made a big difference in my experience. Thank you! read more
