Pros:

The location was amazing! Right adjacent to University of Michigan campus. One block from Target, Walgreens, etc. 10 minute walk to Ann Arbor's pedestrian zones lined with restaurants.

Cons:

Breakfast was way below excpetation. Beautiful facility so it was surprising when the food was so limited. Even upgrading from oatmeal packets to real, cooked oatmeal would have been a big improvement.

The property was suitable, but for the price we expected a lot more. We probably wouldn’t stay there again.
Pros:

The property was located in a great area. The property was clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Our bathroom sink had almost no water pressure. Some wallpaper was peeling in our room and also the TV in our bathroom had a broken screen. The website promised two complementary bottles of water but when we checked in in our room, there were two bottles of Fiji water in each had a price tag of $2.50. The website also said there was a full American breakfast included in the room price. But the breakfast was continental and rather lacking.
