The University Inn Ann Arbor

Found a frito on the floor and there was a spot right in front of the door that was sticky enough to grab your shoe. Water was dripping from the ceiling in the corner and we were on the first floor. Gap by the heating unit that allowed cold air in about as fast as the heater would warm the room.

Old style hotel still using actual steel keys for the rooms instead of plastic. Room was comfortable and location was good. Good value for the money. Close to Trader Joes and several other restaurants and couple of miles from downtown Ann Arbor Biggest negative is shower water temperature can surge and drop rapidly, probably when someone flushes toilet nearby. Breakfast is free and worth about what you pay for it. Biggest annoyance is hassle of needing wi-fi code that changes late at night every Sunday...after office closes.

This place is nearly uninhabitable. The pictures posted by the property are not reality. It must have been a long time since it was inspected. Water stains and peeling paint on the ceiling. Linens were stained. Mold on the walls. Blinds from floor to ceiling were falling apart and didn’t close to keep the exterior fluorescent lights from shining in. I will say one positive: it was quiet. See pictures for a good representation of what we experienced.

DO NOT STAY HERE AT ANY COST! My partner and I had an awful experience at this place and feel obligated to warn others. First, this is misrepresented as a hotel when it is a poorly maintained motel. Second, the cleanliness of this motel is worse than terrible and deserves 0/5 stars. There was significant mold present on the AC unit, lampshade, and shower/bathroom area. Was then shown another room after bringing this to the attention of the staff but there was mold in this room as well. There were also MULTIPLE cigarette burns on both comforters and sheets despite a “no smoking policy”. The front desk staff acts friendly but negates to tell you all the SERIOUS flaws. Ended up not staying a single night and my partner, who made the booking, was told she would receive a full refund for the additional night booked, but of course, the next day she was told “this was no longer possible to do”. I can’t emphasize it enough: DO NOT STAY HERE
