Just warning other potential patrons that this hotel has bugs. I informed the front desk staff that we were awoken in the middle of the night by a carpet beetle crawling around in my partner’s hair, and emailed the hotel a picture. I had thought initially they had refunded my hotel charges, but no. They charged me the full amount... I also found a carpet beetle in the shower the next morning and when I turned the water on in the tub, he started doing the breast stroke- like this was not his first hotel swim..

This hotel was a true gem! It was clean, comfortable and had a marvelous breakfast spread! I thought parking was expensive but that was the going rate for area hotels, and it was valet so I appreciated that convenience. The only downside which the hotel could not control was the many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk nearby (around the corner from the hotel). The hotel should be actively pressuring the town government to clean it up! But the hotel does lock their front door after 10pm which definitely made me feel safer about the riff-raff on the street not being able to wander into the hotel.

The best aspect of staying at this hotel was the location with respect to the school campus. The worst part were the amenities, specifically the. “Gym,” if you can call it that. The breakfast was surprisingly decent, with fresh berries every morning staff were OK, not terribly helpful, but adequate. The only reason I would stay there again is for the location.

There was no consistent hot water during my entire stay. The shower would run warm for about a minute and then turn cold. My son and I had to take cold showers for two days. When I contacted hotel staff, I was told there was nothing they could do. Lack of hot water and the dismissive response from staff made our stay very disappointing. especially during icy storm winter in Michigan.

Good location for main Ann Arbor attractions. Rooms are comfortable with nice bedding and pillows. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast had a good choice, I especially liked the fresh strawberries and blueberries this time.
Only thing for us was our room was next to the car park and we experienced more outside noise than previous visits here. Would still return and recommend the hotel 😊

The location is excellent for central access to the U of M and to the concert hall. The bed was very comfortable. The room furniture and fixtures were good. I liked the dimable feature of the bed side lamps. The room was a little cramped. The bathroom was nice. To improve safety, particularly for seniors or anyone with an injury or balance issues, it would be very valuable to have a side grab bar and entry/exit vertical grab bar in the shower.

Underwhelmed. Premium price for a below average experience. No fridge in room. Breakfast was basic. Staff ok. Decor aged but not in a classic way.

The air conditioning/heat thermostat should be fixed. The walk up bathroom can't be changed, but it's annoying and possibly physically dangerous.

Cozy Hotel in the Heart of Ann Arbor

We often stay here for trips to Ann Arbor as you can walk to everything. You can get valet, we just park in residential parking 5 min walk north of the hotel. We stayed in room 309, top floor in the west corner. Room was quiet. Comfortable bed. It looks like the shower was recently renovated and was quite nice. My only issue was that for my shower both last night and this morning, the hot water took about 5 minutes of running before it got hot, so some water waste. Everything else was fantastic. Amazing service, everything was clean, and the cookies in the lobby were tasty. We did not stay for breakfast, but I recall enjoying their breakfast during previous stays. Overall, we’ll continue to stay here in the future.

Great stay. Price was far better than other places nearby. The room was small, but it was very clean, high quality, and quite cozy. Staff were very friendly and professional. Definitely a go-to hotel in Ann Arbor.

Checked in prior to the football game, only to have to check in again after the football game. Caused a little confusion as it was late in the evening. Also, breakfast was just ok.

I mistakenly left my shoes in our room. The housekeeper found them and rushed them to me just as we were picking up our car from the valet.

For the steep price of this property, I didn’t appreciate the time waiting for the front desk, the minimal toiletries in the room unless you asked for them. Breakfast was nothing special. If they are going to share so much, they need to improve their service.

Never Disappoints!

Room was petite but perfect! Super comfy bed and quiet building! Home made pastries for breakfast, nice touch…. but walking out the door being directly on campus is priceless! sold!

There is a $30 charge for parking that is not mentioned on Expedia.
The rooms are outdated. Our bathroom door was broken and did not close.
The staff was wonderful and the location is great.

Overall, one thing about Bell Tower Hotel is that its breakfast is quite mediocre. It would be fine in a more budget establishment, but this hotel aspires to be more a boutique hotel. It needs to hire a better chef.

Friendly staff. Cookies, apples, water in lobby. Room was exceptionally clean. Could use a mini fridge for leftovers, but no biggie. Love the room keys as they are still actually keys, not cards. Free breakfast buffet was impressive!
