“Nice boutique hotel in excellent location on Michigan campus”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

My son and I stayed in the Bell Tower Hotel on a one night visit to the University of Michigan. The location cannot be beat and it's a nice small hotel. Everything was neat and clean and a bit of a through-back (still use keys). They had complimentary valet parking and the hotel staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. A continental breakfast bar was included. Overall, an nice stay. You can walk to everything.

Room Tip: We did not have a view, but really didn't care. You could ask for a room facing the UM Bell Towe...

Thank you for your kind words about our complimentary amenities. I still love the feel of a metal key in my hand. I know that is not standard now a days but we always look for ways to have higher standards than other hotels in Ann Arbor.

Thanks again!

“Nice Hotel Best Location possible”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

This is a great choice if you want to be in Ann Arbor. The Hotel is well appointed and the staff is exceptionally nice. The only downside is the world's slowest elevator.

Thank you for your great review. When making your next reservation, we will make sure to put you on the second floor so you are able to utilize the stairwell and not wait for the elevator. I agree, It can be slow during busy times.

Thank you again for your review.

Regards,

“Hotel Was great even if we lost the game!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I was afraid that the one king bedded room would be too small for my daughter and I as we traveled up to see the Buckeyes take on the Wolverines, but even though it was small, it was cute and tidy. The hotel staff was wonderful and even though most of the other guests were wearing the wrong color they were still quite nice. We felt fortunate to stay at such a nice hotel within walking distance of the Big Game. Thank you. We will be back.

Room Tip: The elevator was slow so I suspect the second floor is great beause it is easy to walk up and down.

“Perfect Campus Choice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Our stay last week was wonderful. Fabulous staff with great restaurant recommendations for sharing a birthday dinner. We had some items that needed to refrigeration overnight and this was easily taken care of by the front desk staff. Parking was a made easy with the Bell Tower's valet service. Our room was small but comfortable and cozy. The only negative is the minimal exercise room; with cold, rainy weather it would have been nice to have a larger, better equipped room. This was our second visit and there will certainly be more.

Thank you for your response. I agree that our fitness room is quaint. We have limited space or we would most definitely increase the size of the room. We do however have new, up to date equipment and is sufficient most of the time.

We look forward to your future visits.

Sincerely,

“Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

My husband,son and I recently stayed at the Bell Tower for an Ann Arbor weekend to see the UofM Mens Glee Club Concert. The location is perfect-close to everything! We never used our car the entire weekend. The staff ,to a person, was friendly and attentive. In particular the breakfast room woman was a delight. This will be our hotel for our yearly trip to Ann Arbor.
