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!

We enjoyed our stay here, the A/C worked great and the beds were comfortable! The staff were all very nice and helpful. Definitely worth it to pay the valet parking. Only very minor thing to mention is there wasn’t a mini fridge in the room which was a small bummer, other than that we enjoyed everything about this hotel and would stay here again.

The Bell Tower location can't be beat and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms themselves are on the smaller side and there was lots of outside noise early in the morning when the garbage trucks show up, but I still enjoyed my stay.

Found a bug in our bed which appeared to be a bed bug. While we weren’t certain the manager made no effort to make sure it wasn’t… She was rude, dismissive, and could care less about the hotel and its guests.

Bedsheets were old and pilled. Very low water pressure, took 15 minutes running the shower to get just warm water. Breakfast was minimal, terrible weak coffee, low quality food similar to any inexpensive chain hotel with fake eggs and limited to highly processed food options. Would not stay here again. That said, staff were friendly.

Disappointed Stay!

This s a very over priced hotel. We stayed there due to family having surgery at U of M and it was close by. Faced leaked, took for ever to get hot water, bed mattress you rolled to the side and was Old. They tried taking this old hotel and add a few facelift things but it’s still an old hotel. Breakfast was cold, not really what I expected from this ups ale hotel. I definitely would not recommend it or stay there again. Have had much better experiences at hotels 100.00 less a night.
