It was an excellent fit for a brief visit in Ann Arbor with great value for money. The chocolate covered strawberries were good, the only part we truly enjoyed. Keep an eye on unexpected charges during checkout.

comfortable stay but needs bathroom improvements
The pool and hot tub provided a relaxing atmosphere for my family, enhancing our overall experience. The beautiful landscaping around the hotel and in the courtyard created a lovely ambiance that we enjoyed each day.
The bathroom could have been updated a little more.

The hotel has a lovely setting, with friendly staff and a nice pool area. However, the room fell short with cleanliness issues and some noise disturbances from adjacent guests. Parking was convenient, but there were certainly some areas needing improvement.

The indoor pool impresses with its warmth, creating an inviting environment perfect for relaxing after a long day. Spacious rooms with decent amenities offer a comfortable stay, complemented by a well-maintained atmosphere that made finding one's way around easy.
A notable downside is the less-than-fresh scent that wafts through some areas, which could be reminiscent of past guests' habits. Wi-Fi connects intermittently, making it tricky to get tasks done without frustration. Also, the room's layout felt cramped at times, especially with the awkward positioning of furniture, which may not suit everyone’s taste.

My king room was clean and comfortable with great shower pressure. The A/C kept it cool all night, which was awesome. The bed was super comfy too, but I wish the bathroom was a bit bigger. No complaints otherwise!
