Melhor relação custo-benefício
Pros:

Café da manhã muito bom, tinha cookies, maçã, água e café sempre disponíveis no lobby para os hóspedes. A localização é muito boa, praticamente dentro da Universidade de michigan.

Cons:

O hotel é um pouco antigo, o aquecedor é um modelo bem antigo.

We liked the location and the overall comfort as well as the breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast great. I liked the relaxed atmosphere there, didn't appreciate hearing Trump drone on and on and on from the TV news station during the entirety of our meal.

Cons:

The $30 valet parking fee was unexpected. I didn't notice that included in the description.

Very clean and comfortable
Pros:

A lot of towels/ washcloths in room as well as pillows. It was nice to have everything we needed.

Cons:

I wish the provided soap/ shampoo and condition awe was nicer. Dove is terrible and drying.
We misunderstood check pot time and we were absolutely harassed over being 15 late on a Sunday after a concert event. Also no water in the evening in the lobby
