Hotel was under reservation but it didn’t negatively impact our stay. Room was a great size and bed was comfy.

The bed was comfortable and that is impotent. But we chose this hotel for location and the breakfast. We didn't expect anything wonderful. But they offered bagels, dry cereal, package oatmeal. We were told they were out of everything else. The juice machine had colored water and no cream cheese for the bagels. It's not polite to advertise breakfast and give you a dry bagel. We will not stay again.

Staff was great. Bed was comfortable. The facility felt "cheap". Walls way too thin. I could hear and understand my neighbors conversations from the surrounding rooms and the hallway. Also, I felt like I was walking on unstable plywood floors on the second floor hallway.

I could give a 10, but unfortunately there was no pressure and no hot water in the shower due to an issue, and this is a minimal you’d expect from any hotel. Other than that the hotel is very good for a budget concept.
When I entered the room the bed wasn’t made. Looked like somebody slept in it . Bed cover was in pile and willows were dislodged. Other wise it was good
Main problem:
appearance doesn’t look safe; interior similar to a Super 8; poorly trained front desk; ridiculous breakfast; no courtesy one hour late check out because the room was booked through Expedia.
We wanted to visit University of Michigan after Christmas. Nice in the front of the hotel, we just got the feeling this place may be a shady outfit, making us feel uncomfortable. We checked in on the evening of 12/26. Was not told and explained about a per room incidental included in the room charged. Though the incidentals would be removed once the room checked out, I had to get it clarified by a different staff member in the morning.
The interior of the hotel was clean but looked so cheap I would have stayed at Super 8 and saved. Everything we saw screamed “cheap”. Shower weak, bathroom exhaust fan super noisy. Shower noise from the wall can keep everyone awake. Breakfast selection was just a joke. Can’t even describe what was there. And there was 4-5 toddlers roaming the breakfast room like it’s their private play ground. Then came the icing on the cake. I requested check out at 12. The woman told me “check out time was at 11”. I told her I was a Hilton silver member and said “can I get a break?” The answer was “you don’t get to enjoy the member courtesy” when you booked through a third party”. That’s it. With so many choices on the road. I don’t need to use Expedia and Hilton again.
The property was spotless, and the rooms were fantastic. However, I would advise travelers to be aware that they require a deposit upon check-in, in addition to the standard hotel fee. Despite this minor inconvenience, my stay was overall pleasant and enjoyable.

The manager threatened to call the cops on my 2 year old that was awake at midnight. Very poor professionalism. Will never return
