Overall bad experience not worth the almost 400$ stay, only plus was my dog got to stay with us.
Pros:

I liked that they allowed dogs and 21 age and under, and that they had a pool onsite

Cons:

Or room was not cleaned properly had blood stains on bed and found men’s used underwear in or room. And staff then told us to clean it up instead of offering to do it.

The only good thing about this hotel is the decently clean rooms.
Pros:

It was a clean hotel, but very average. I liked the general area this hotel is in.

Cons:

The parking is awful! You have to pay for each night of parking, and even then there’s no guaranteed spot. They had a backup lot that was a building down if there wasn’t enough spots in the main lot. Which if you get back after the afternoon, you will need to park in the second lot! The inconveniences on top of the fee were so frustrating.

But my main problem was that I pre-booked, and I had a set amount I knew I was supposed to pay! But I got there and the front desk man says a total way higher than what I’m supposed to pay, and wasn’t clarifying why it was so much higher. Part of it ended up being the deposit fee that I thankfully got back, but there were still multiple hidden fees adding up to 50 extra dollars— on top of the room and taxes, and fee’s I already had. The website doesn’t say anything about the nightly deposit of $50 dollars and the front desk man was not being helpful to explain what it was, which confused me. He just told me they charged me an extra $150 dollars.

I also had another unpleasant experience with a different hotel desk employee. He was on his phone with airpod’s in, which I didn’t mind too much, but I asked him a genuine question only for him to say a snarky remark. From my experiences with these front-desk people they were unfriendly and unhelpful.

Overall I don’t think this hotel is worth it. The actual rooms themselves were decent (clean, no bugs), and the price wasn’t terrible, but between the awful parking you have to pay for, the rude staff, and hidden fee’s I would advice anyone to choose a different hotel.

Satisfactory overall
Pros:

Great room and comfortable bed; very nice staff

Cons:

The hot breakfast food quality was poor - not poorly prepared, just low quality ingredients. I would pay a few bucks more for the room to have better food

All nice but parking
Pros:

Nice coffee bar, desk staff very pleasant, room cleaned well.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have bacon and eggs, also was not aware of charge to park my car. Thought that a little ridiculous.

Adequate
Cons:

Website states they were pet friendly. I didn’t realize until I received my summary after check out that a $50 pet fee had been applied. It would have been nice to know about that ahead of time.

Uncomfortable. Can do better with response to maintenance issues.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

The room we stayed in had faulty air conditioning. We promptly contacted staff to have it fixed at about 7pm and asked to be placed in another room, but the only solution offered that night was a very loud fan, which made sleeping difficult, especially with the room temperature stuck at 77 degrees.

I understand that maintenance issues can arise unexpectedly despite a hotel’s best efforts. However, I was disappointed by the tone and attitude of the on-site staff, who did not seem as concerned or apologetic that guests would have to spend the night in such uncomfortable conditions.

Thankfully, the maintenance team was able to repair the issue early the next morning, and our second night was much more comfortable.

Great stay for Teams!
Pros:

The location is a great option close to the U of M campus. It allowed walking distance to coffee shops, dinner, and other grocery necessities we may need to stock up on. We travel with a large team and their staff is accommodating with meeting space reservations and breakfast times to keep our itinerary on schedule!
