Stayed here for the U of M graduation weekend. Our room was $269 per night. It was dark, dingy, dated and desperately in need of renovation. The shower was broken. The room smelled bad. There was a giant jacuzzi tub that looked like it had been lifted from the set of a 70's porn movie. The ceiling above the tub... More

I had the pleasure staying at this hotel last night from the time I walked in to the time I left my overall experience exceeded my expectations. From fast Wi-Fi to a very good breakfast this morning and everything in between. If you're looking for a hotel in the Ann Arbor area this is the hotel to come too. The... More

This hotel is in dire need of a huge renovation. Our room was very beat up. Cracks, dents, tiniest bathroom ever. Long hair on the bathroom floor from someone else. Ugh. Drapes did not fully close and light poured into the room. Cannot recommend this place.

We stayed here for UM graduation in May 2013, and of course they charge more for weekends like that, I expected that. But the rooms that we had were SO run-down. In fact, the first room we got smelled so much like smoke, we had to switch rooms (to one that didn't smell like smoke, but still smelled horribly musty).... More

This is a dingy, dated hotel. The rooms are desperately in need of new paint and lighting. The atrium has planters with dead plants. There is no reason why they should be charging $200 per night. And they have a no cancellation policy, which is ridiculous. Stay somewhere else, anywhere else.

The lobby and conference area is spacious, clean and modern. The walls of the room we had were a bit worn but the carpet was in very good shape and the room was clean. The toilet/bathtub area was small but it's always nice to have the sink and mirror separate and accessible to others in the room. The room had... More

I have stayed at the Clarion in the past. A few months ago, while I was in the Banquet Hall, some people were smoking. I was not part of that. I immediately went to the desk to check out. I felt I was in a dangerous situation and did not want to spend the night there. At 9 p.m. I... More

On a recent trip, we asked for a 'handicap accessible room', especially in the bathroom. When we checked in, we were so disappointed to find that their definition of handicap was a walk or roll-in shower space. There was not a handicapped height toilet (an important need). The sinks and counters would be way too high for someone in a... More

I was very pleased with my whole experience there. From the friendly desk clerk to the clean and updated rooms. This was out second visit within a month and my wife and I loved it. We plan to make it a regular place to stay over and highly recommend it. The buffet break was excellent also.
