Howell Historic Hotel

"We booked a two double bed room. The room was neat. There was a smallish old TV attached to the wall that worked fine. There was a small refrigerator sufficient for our needs, and a microwave that worked fine. The shower was a bit tricky, but we figured it out. The place was well kept and neat. Only for the price we paid, there were no amenities on the premises. We did not rent a car and so it made it difficult. The vending machine was broken, but there was a second vending machine that worked and so we could buy some drinking water. Morning coffee at the front desk was okay. There are some junk food restaurants nearby. "

"I loved the Graduate! It was my first time in this chain. Fun interior with University of Michigan decorations and touches throughout. The staff was warm and nice and local. Great vibe in the place. The long table through the lobby is a wonderful place to drink coffee, bring a laptop or have a semi-public meeting. Great light and energy in the lobby with lots of places to sit. I enjoyed my room. The bed was terrific and water pressure in the shower was strong. I found the room too dark, TBH. Quite a bit of dark wood. It was springtime with long days but I can only imagine how dark it might be inside during the winter. I used the fitness center on the third floor and found it well stocked and at a cool enough temperature to work out; I recommend it. And l enjoyed the cafe in the lobby as well; bought morning coffee and an egg sandwich each morning. Friendly staff and tasty food. Very handy to have inside the hotel for a rainy day or quick bite to eat. Overall I highly recommend the Graduate in Ann Arbor. I’m considering booking a return visit already!"

"The staff at the front desk was kind and helpful."

"Friendly staff, clean room, pool and hot tub were fabulous."

"It was a clean room and building for the price. It does need updates - bathroom outlets were old and did not allow to plug in curling iron or blow dryer. The plugs kept falling out. TV was not sharp in color."

"Warm, quiet and inviting. Comfortable room with great shower."

"Beautiful hotel and property"

"Very dated. Room too hot. Couldn't cool it down. Bottom of bathroom door falling apart. Stains in tub. Window of room opened into hallway."

"Unfortunately the first Room Smells really Bad so we have to change to anode Facing the roof with a horrible view. "
