Comfort and Convenience Close to the Music

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Ann Arbor University of Michigan Area offers a relaxed stay just minutes from downtown Ann Arbor’s vibrant music and arts scene. Located right off I-94 and a short walk from Briarwood Mall, this hotel blends convenience with comfort. Expect spacious rooms equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee makers, plus a heated indoor pool and on-site dining to make your stay easy and enjoyable.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than three miles from the University of Michigan campus and its major venues, making it easy to catch a show and be back in your room in no time. The hotel is far enough from downtown to offer a quieter night’s sleep, but close enough to be just a short ride-share away. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a high-energy night. With a 24/7 front desk and easy highway access, late arrivals are no problem.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a place to recharge between gigs
- Solo travelers attending a dream concert at The Big House or campus venues
- Couples making a weekend of it with music and museum-hopping
- Fans craving quiet after a loud night out
- Budget-conscious music lovers wanting comfort without the downtown price tag

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Toast to Toast Restaurant serves up classic American favorites for both breakfast and dinner, ideal for pre-show fuel or post-show hunger. While there’s no 24-hour room service, your in-room microwave and fridge make late-night snacks easy. Nearby eateries are within walking or quick driving distance, and the hotel’s breakfast options are perfect for a slow morning after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t feature a bar or live music, you’re just a short drive or ride-share from downtown Ann Arbor’s buzzing nightlife. Discover craft cocktail lounges, live music bars, and student-favorite pubs with great vibes and local brews. After the concert, head back to a calm, comfortable space to unwind.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and easy access to campus and downtown. Many reviewers highlight the quiet environment and ample parking as major pluses, especially for those driving in for a show. The indoor pool and gym get frequent nods for being well-kept and relaxing.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel feels slightly dated in places, and the restaurant service can be slow during busy times. Also, while it’s not in the heart of downtown, the quick drive makes up for it—just plan for a ride after the show.

The Bottom Line

A solid choice for concert-goers who want a quiet, comfortable stay with easy access to Ann Arbor’s music venues and late-night conveniences.
