Bell Tower Hotel

Liked: Rooms are clean. Comfortable beds. Staff were polite and helpful. Hotel was central to University of Michigan campus and we a were able to walk everywhere.
Disliked: Nothing.

Wonder for the free valet parking and very helpful staff. Close to lots of food and other places. We went to the Fab Faux concert and that walk was less than four minute to the Michigan Theatre.

Liked: Breakfast buffet is worth the overnight stay. Wonderful, helpful staff that was better than any restaurant.
Disliked: Air conditioner compressor tick loudly when powered on. Staff turned off unit.

Great time at the Bell...

Liked: Well located,close to many restaurants and shopping . The breakfast was very good. The staff were very friendly and professional. Would definitely stay again when in Ann Arbor

Mediocre hotel, broken appliances, understaffed,...

Liked: Location is good, very central in Ann Arbor, close to everything on Central Campus of the UofM. Bed was comfortable.
Disliked: The sound insulation between rooms is non-existent. I could hear my neighbors having a normal conversation so clearly that I could almost make out words. Unfortunately, this was after 11 pm one day and at 5:30 am the next day. They were not loud; it was not their fault, but the insulation was terrible. The hotel feels old. Things are broken or dirty. The coffee machine in my room was broken. The armchair had stains on it. The carpet was worn out. Breakfast was mediocre---looks like eggs, sausages, and potatoes were industrially reconstituted from a powder. Coffee was tepid and weak. The hot water carafe had not been attended to, and the water was cold. Importantly, it did not feel like the staff cared about the hotel---just sitting around chatting. When I arrived (around 6 pm), the only person tending the front desk was away. I understand that sometimes one needs to step away, but why can't there be another person to temporarily step in to check-in guests? Not enough staff.

The Belle Bell

Liked: The Bell Tower is part of Ann Arbor history. My parents first brought me here in the 80s. Now I am here visiting my freshman daughter.The location is ideal. My room is small, tidy and appealing. The lobby is large and comfortable. Breakfast is served in a large modern room. The voices of the other travelers around me create a happy hum during breakfast.Things to know - the feel is a wonderful inn - not a Hilton. That's why I love it. Last night, I heard loud college revelers outside of my window - remember my days doing the same thing and went back to sleep. (Bell Tower provides a white noise machine if you require one.) I have loved it here for 45 years. The staff is very involved with making my stay comfortable.Always a delight.
