The room was clean aside from the blanket on the bed was really stained and dirty looking. We ended up taking it off and sleeping just with the sheets.

The front desk staff was terrible. Two occasions when I tried calling I felt like I was bothering them. I was hung up on one time then the second time she picked up and then muffled the phone while she finished a personal conversation. Check in and check out were the same, felt like I was inconveniencing her by being there.

The rooms are remodeled and very clean. The bathroom was newly remodeled and the fridge as well as microwave were new. The AC gets very cold so be prepared to turn up the heat occasionally. The outside public areas are well lit at night and the building has fresh paint. Very safe area with access to lots of dining and shopping. Very competitive pricing. There is no breakfast but free coffee. Overall a great place to sleep and relax if that’s all you need. Simple and well maintained property perfect for travelers and people who do not need tons of amenities. I would stay there again next time I’m in the area!

Cigarette & bugs behind bed on floor. Smelled like old cigarette smoke. Clearly day laborers living below and around loud & drink EVERY night! It was wild. I didn’t realize I’d be staying in the “residents” wing — out smoking weed, beer cans piled up, loud, boom box music going until 10pm, makeshift water bottle ashtrays outside doors. 100% yuck! Renovated & could be nice — weekly renters, not so much!!

Don’t be deceived by the photos. While from a glance it does look like that when you open the door, once the door is closed it’s a whole different story.
When we arrived at the hotel around 230, the woman at the counter was telling guests we can’t check you in until 3. Like miraculously all the rooms would be ready at that moment. There was no reason given except we don’t check in until 3.
Needless to say, there was a concert at the University of Michigan. Prices at all the hotels were ridiculously marked up, all the way back in 11/25. Now if I would have paid $80 a night I would not have been so disappointed. Shame on me for letting the photos persuade me into making a reservation.
While they did do upgrades at some point, the edges are VERY rough. Nice nightstands, sink, and linens, are just lipstick. Painting of the walls, old toilet, bathroom outlet had paint on it, could tell the old school wall hanging dryer has been dropped way too many times.
Don’t let me forget, the door that is suppose to protect you from the outside, appeared to have been rammed from the inside many times. The weather stripping around the door? lol, we could see outside and if it had been cold outside I’m sure we would felt the breeze.

Bed was decently comfy lol. There are 2 floors, but no elevator so be careful if you have mobility issues.
We had a longer term stay, and I would book another stay there in the future.

I had a very concerning and unsafe experience during my stay. We were unable to contact staff through the room phone or by calling directly, which left us with no support when we needed it most. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from outside of our room, and at one point someone attempted to get into our room, which was extremely unsettling.

The lack of staff availability and response in a situation like this is unacceptable. Guests should feel safe and be able to reach someone immediately if there’s an issue. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.

I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made to security, staff responsiveness, and overall guest safety.

The property is very well maintained and the rooms are of a good value for the price that customers pay. The only thing that I disliked is that there’s a very small limited choice on channels to watch on the t.v. No good channels at all. The maintenance and staff are respectful and always willing to help out.

The lady that checked us in was not friendly at all…I almost felt like she didn’t want us there (ha). She then charged us $27 to check in 2 hours early. That was silly. After I checked my brother in, we went to Vanguard and checked into our hotel and no early check in fees. But I guess you get what you pay for!
The hotel itself was pretty clean. The exterior was still old and run down looking.

The door to our room would not shut solidly. It had a a large gap that let in lots of light and outside air. There were flies in the room, probably came through the big gap in the door. The TV remote did not work. At 3:00 in the morning people were shouting obscenities and having some sort of argument. This went on for two hours, no security here. No one from the hotel did anything about it. The police were in the lot around 5:30 when we began packing the car and checking out. The person at checkout had absolutely zero compassion for our experience and refused to offer even a partial refund. I would never recommend staying here to anyone.

This property is old and has seen better days. The room was clean and the heat/AC worked. There was a visible gap between the door and door frame so air could enter the room even when closed. The window shade was room-darkening so the room was dark when the shade was down. If the shade was up, it felt like living in a fishbowl.

We booked a two double bed room. The room was neat. There was a smallish old TV attached to the wall that worked fine. There was a small refrigerator sufficient for our needs, and a microwave that worked fine. The shower was a bit tricky, but we figured it out. The place was well kept and neat. Only for the price we paid, there were no amenities on the premises. We did not rent a car and so it made it difficult. The vending machine was broken, but there was a second vending machine that worked and so we could buy some drinking water. Morning coffee at the front desk was okay. There are some junk food restaurants nearby.

The price around the graduation day was way higher than regular price. It was like 300 for a two-queen bed room.

Besides, the prices went down a lot when it got closer to the graduation date, which was hurtful also.

The vending machines are old and only accept 1$ bill, which is not very helpful.

But the room was nice and close to some business (great if it’s regular price)

The beds were comfortable and the room was cleaned. That’s the most important thing, of course. The room however is in need of some real updating. The toilet after flushing just ran forever until you shook the handle. The TV is not a smart TV and you could not even cast your computer screen to the in-room TV so we watched a big NBA playoff game on an iPad. Vending machines only took cash and of course with smart phones and credit cards many do not travel with cash. The hotel wifi was open source and no password was needed to access it making customers concerned about using the wifi. Bottom line the room and the property are in need of 21 first century upgrades.

Staff were fine, they let us check in early the first night, which was nice. The room was pretty clean, minus some weird stains around the bathroom (hair dye? Lipstick? Idk). The toilet plug had problems Sealing- had to jiggle it or it would keep running. None of that was a big deal for me. Check in/out was smooth, room was pretty clean, which was all we really needed. Great value from that perspective.

The only real downside was that the door didn't seal - there was noticeable light coming through even when it was \"closed.\" This wouldn't be a big issue except noise traveled really well from outside the door. We heard people walking by really well and people in the parking lot woke my wife up in the morning.

Overall, I gave it a 4/5. With cheaper motels, I feel like being clean is my biggest concern and it checked that box.
