Hotels near Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in Ann Arbor

We have stayed at other hotels when visiting our student and this is one of the best. Great location, great rooms. We were only there for a night but it did not disappoint. We walked to amazing restaurants and shopping. The curtains are actually blackout and the bed is so comfortable you will want to know what mattress it is. When you walk up the view over Ann Arbor is great.

Omar who works in the bar/restaurant area goes above and beyond his duty to satisfy the customers that are staying at the hotel. He is nice and has a kind personality. Very good asset to the hotel. Can't wait to see him next year when I will be here again.

We have family In Ann Arbor and we’ve bee staying here once 2014. It’s usually pretty good. Those days are over… at least for now. I imagine we’ll be back, but I won’t be happy about it. So we’re here again. Last time here my husband pointed out that they were in the middle of replacing all the outside balconies that were badly rusted and this was probably a very expensive repair so they may be waiting to get that done before they start redoing the rooms. Well, they seem to just about finished their balcony/walkway project, but haven’t gotten to the rooms themselves. Relatively clean, unless you looked under of behind things - like the phone or a lamp. The tub is cracked, the furniture is beat up - scarred, nicked, warped tops, etc. , but the linens and towels were nice. It was a good mattress and the room was clean - mostly. The carpet was vacuumed, but badly stained. The tv remote only sometimes worked and we couldn’t get any sound on the only channel we wanted to watch: ESPN.

The surrounding environment is quiet, very close to the University of Denver, the hotel has good service, complete facilities, rooms are large enough, internet speed is good, there is a supermarket nearby, free parking, breakfast is simple but full, and I will stay again!

We had such negative, disappointing experience at this hotel, from our check-in to check-out. As we had power outage, we decided to stay at this hotel. On Internet it said $155 for the room with two queen size beds. My husband called and made a reservation. Upon arrival we were told that there’s no room so we had to wait for a while. The front desk staff called my husband loud (she said “Smith!!”, not “Mr. Smith”) and we were offered a room with only a dim desk light working. The lights in the bathroom and bedsides didn’t work. Later, they explained that the electric company put a limit on their electricity use. We were told to use “the flashlight on your phone” to take shower. The room was cold no matter we set the temperature higher and not so clean (tired). At check out, nobody was present at the front desk. I waited for 10 minutes and a staff came out reluctantly. She charged us $240. I asked her why and she said “because we didn’t have full electricity”. We are very disappointed because this hotel basically took advantage of those of us who needed a warm, lit place to stay during a power outage by charging $100 more that their usual price. The quality of the service and their hygiene standard were disappointing. My husband called Hilton customer service afterwards, but they were not nice nor understanding at all, transferred the call multiple times over 30-40 minutes. We have been a Hilton honors member but we will switch to Marriot. One last note: when we were waiting to check in, a homeless person with lots of paper bags came in casually, grabbed a paper cup in the breakfast room across the front desk, attempted to get some coffee from the dispenser. He put his cup back when he realized that there’s no coffee left. There were two staff at the front desk and one cleaning staff close to him but they really didn’t care, it appeared that this person was a frequent visitor.

My wife and I have stayed here often during the 4 years our son was going to the university. Our latest stay was commencement weekend, 2022, and we were joined by a couple of family friends. Over the years I have enjoyed staying at this hotel, and other Hampton Inn facilities when we travel. The rooms are spacious and clean. There is always coffee in the lobby. I always take the pens because I like how they write. The warm breakfast was great. I like the place and will stay there again, but somebody should do something about the following: 1. During our stay over Commencement 2022 weekend our rooms got incredibly hot. Adjusting the temperature did not seem to help. The thermostat seemed to kick in on its own, reaching 82 degrees at some point during the night. Have you tried to sleep at 82 degrees? Now I have, and would not recommend it. 2. The coffee station ran out of cups, and, incredibly, coffee (on our third morning, at breakfast time). There were times during the day when what was available was just cold coffee. If you are going to provide coffee (and you should) make it hot and available consistently. 3. One of the two elevators was out of service, with a sign that it was being upgraded. From reading the comments here, it has been unavailable for a while. Having taken that much time, I will be disappointed if it is not a time machine when it is available for use again. 4. Our room had a telephone and radio/clock taking up the rather limited space near the beds. Why does any hotel still have these things in 2022? I was amused that the clock showed the wrong time - so it is not even useful for that purpose. My wife is tired of hearing me complain about the oddness of giving old-timey gadgets to people who have checked in using their phones. If this hotel and other hotels insist on taking up limited space with telephones and radios, I will insist that they include beepers and 8-track cassette decks to go along with them. As I said, I like the place and will stay there again. I will be interested to see how different things look.

We had a fantastic stay here. The staff was amazing and even during a pandemic the wedding was beautiful. Leah was amazing and helpful. Really enjoyed Meg at the front desk and the General manager was willing to help us with anything. Such a blessing to find this fabulous hotel for the wedding and rehearsal dinner. Thank you thank you

We stayed here in a big wedding block. The hotel was very accommodating to us and all of our guests. The bridal party was able to use the conference room on the day of the wedding, and the shuttle service to and from the ceremony and reception was so convenient. All of the staff was so friendly and made our wonderful weekend even better. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Don’t let the pictures online fool you! My stay here did not live up to expectations or my past stays at other Staybridge hotels (or other IHG hotels in other cities around the world, for that matter). However, my stay was not all negative, so let me focus on the positives first. Let me note that while I stayed here for one night while in the process of moving to a new city, I did not have the breakfast here, nor did I use the hotel’s amenities, so this review will skip those parts of the stay. The hotel’s location is very convenient, located just off I-94 which provides easy access to DTW as needed. It is also located to a lot of nearby restaurants and stores, although a bit of a drive from the University of Michigan if you are here for the university. The lobby provides a cheery, refreshing welcome upon entering, and the front desk staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms are also pretty spacious, no surprise given this is a hotel composed of suites. The bed is also very comfortable and I received a good night sleep. But that’s pretty much where it all ends positivity wise… Despite the room being spacious, it seems as if housekeeping does not do their job as the room was very dirty upon entering. There were also stains on the walls and there were even blood stains in certain areas of the washroom. Absolutely disgusting, and especially unacceptable especially during pandemic times! The shower was also below average and water pressure was quite weak. If I had to describe what the shower experience was like at this hotel, it was almost as if the water was trickling. Seriously. It seems as if there are a numerous amount of hotels in close proximity to this one. I would most certainly look at those other options, because other people are pointing out the same flaws as me online. 2 stars seems just right for me given that there were some positives about my stay here.
