I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, making it a great area for family and friends to gather and chat. Everything was very clean, and the housekeeper was always on time. The service was outstanding - everyone was so friendly and helpful, and they even promised to contact me promptly. The location was perfect for us, as my daughter graduated from UofM, and we enjoyed the quiet surroundings near various restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. The dining experience was fantastic, with a wonderful meal available and delicious waffles. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable, and having breakfast included was a nice touch. The suites were designed well, with the sitting room conveniently located closer to the hallway. However, the pour at the bar was disappointingly small, but the staff made up for it with their humor and professionalism.
