I recently took my high school senior to visit University of Michigan. I chose to stay at the Bell Tower since everything in the main campus is within walking distance and you can walk through Ann Arbor very easily to shop or find a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner. The accomodations are very nice w/ attractive decor and very... More

I stayed for one night on a quick trip to Ann Arbor, and the staff couldn't be better. The hotel is of the "Grand Old" variety, and I like it very much. The valets parking my car were polite, helpful, and efficient; the desk clerk was great and called my room to make sure everything was ok. The location is... More

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We noticed a noise problem with the few connecting rooms and have solved that but may need to look into a solution to this problem. Thanks for your review and sharing your thoughts about the staff and level of service you received. Thanks again and I will most definitely look into solving... More

I visited the Bell Tower Hotel for the preview of Philip Glass's "Einstein on the Beach" JAN 21st. The hotel was walking distance to everywhere on campus. It wasn't even too hard to get to/from the Amtrak station. All the local food and entertainment spots were right around the block. The hotel was quiet and very comfortable. The staff was... More

As I'm sitting in the Bell Tower Hotel lobby, I thought that it was as good of a time as any to share my experience here. The room was a little dated, but my room was very clean and comfortable. I slept very well; the shower was hot and had very good pressure - the key components of a good... More

Thank you for your review. I am extremely happy to hear that our service was excellent. We really pride ourselves in the service we offer, not just our location.

Stayed for 4 nights. Had to ask for maid service to make up my room everyday, because it wasn't done by 3:00. They did not replenish coffee that was used, had to call down for it. Internet did not work for 24 hours of my stay. Hot water took 15 minutes to get in the shower (what a waste). The... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I apologize your room was not cleaned until 3:00PM. I have reviewed this situation with our housekeeping manager and our policies were followed. Although, we could have improved your situation by making a note in your folio to clean your room earlier throughout your stay. We are also renovating the... More

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... More

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. More

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, DeWayne Grann More
