Bottom of the barrel. I slept in my clothes on top of the bed. Bathroom sink did not work, nor TV or Wi-fi. No towels at all. Not clean either. This place needs bulldozing. read more

What a friggin dump. $100 for the night and it's worth "maybe" $25 or sleep under a nearby overpass, SERIOUSLY!!! The bathroom fixtures are probably from the 70's, the carpet is stained and the room smells like a chain smoker used to live there. Mold on the shower walls and bottom of the tub. I've stayed and many hotels and this was the first time I hesitated to enter a shower, my girlfriend refused to get in at all. The ambiance was only enhanced by the flickering fluorescent light in the bathroom... redrum redrum anyone? Sleep in you car for a better experience read more

I will blast this place until they refund me my money when I never stayed there once. terrible franchise, never stay here. owner is greedy, smells horrible, gross on the inside everywhere. also saw a few rats in and around the building. read more

If there were negative reviews, I would give it to this hotel. It is decrepit and dirty. It is able to stay in business because of unknowing visitors for sold out weekends. I would rather drive 45 minutes from Detroit rather than stay here! read more

Please do not stay here if at all possible. It's amazing that this place is allowed to be open. It should be demolished and replaced. It's a health hazard to stay here. Only reason for stay was last minute trying to go to a sporting event in the area with NOTHING available in the area read more

I know what you're thinking... "It cant be that bad. Its cheap. Its close to campus and the stadium. I only need it for a night". Trust me when I tell you this. It CAN be that bad and is probably worse than you think. The first room we went into had the sheets already turned down as if someone else was staying there. We called the front desk and he said, we slept there. Not possible sir, we never entered the room actually never left the lobby after checking in. We were given another room and it wreaked of smoke. Like 20 years of smoke on top of a weekend bender by a bunch of frat boys. That said, we too only needed it for a night... The bed was cleanish. The bathroom and bathtub scared us so much we tried not to go in there. We left in the morning without showering because it was that bad... The "breakfast" was three things, cereal, day-old muffins and juice. We were not able to try any of them because they were taking them away at 9am as we were getting the hell out of there... To top off this stellar experience, the staff were rude and dismissive. No matter the occasion or desperation...dont do it. NO. MATTER. WHAT. read more

Do NOT stay here. I've had my share of seedy motels from prior cross-country roadtrips (like $30-40 a night cheap trucking motels and dingy hostels), but this was by far the WORST. And I'm not saying that lightly. There's a lot of shady stuff going on around this place. The parking lot makes you feel like you're going to be jumped at any time. The whole place REEKS of cigarettes. Upon entering the broken security doors, I was greeted with two dead cockaroaches on the linoleum. Continue to the room. Some of the lights didn't work. There's a previous occupant's diarrhea stains on the bottom of the toilet seat. Pee stains around the toilet. The shower looks like you'd need shower shoes. Beds are awfully lumpy and there's a bright pink lipstick stain on my pillow. I looked up at the ceiling and see that someone wrapped a plastic bag around the smoke detector. No wonder the room smells of smoke. Exasperated, I sat down on the bed to see if there were any other options for hotels tonight when I notice a little movement on the white sheets. It's reddish, round, and flat and I immediately recognized it as a BEDBUG. NOPE. I had to leave immediately. As I was typing this review from my very locked car, a cop knocked on my window to check that I was alright/not doing something shady. He apparently knew the reputation of this place and was not surprised to find out I was leaving. He really was like "Yeaaaah......" This place is so terrible it made a POLICE OFFICER CRINGE. TL;DR DO NOT STAY HERE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. (Unless you like to tell horror stories) read more

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, and have never had to check out of one without spending the night. The room had a musty smell to it, which would have made me sick. The wallpaper and carpet was ripped up, and the sheets looked dirty. The place is ridiculously outdated, and everything in the room was worn down. The bathroom shower was gross, and the drain backed up. Silver lining- the person at the front desk was incredibly nice. But overall, you should not stay at this place. read more

Terrifying experience. Clerk was out to lunch on drugs. Arrived from a long flight and could not get the room at 2am because she was to high to operate the phone or computer. Swore at us when we wouldn't go away. Huge after hours party of some kind going on. Entire place smelled of smoke and mold. I had paid via Expedia so had to pay for another room at a second hotel. No refund as the victory inn took the money from Expedia even though we never checked in. This was basically the "Overlook Hotel". Dangerous place!!! read more

This place is the dumpiest of all dumps! STEER CLEAR! If I could give negative stars I would. Just pay a little more and go someplace else or Airbnb. Trust me you will thank me later. We're talking furniture that looks like it was picked up in the alley and put in the room...equipped with blood stains and god know what else. Dirty pillowcases, no mattress pad so sheets directly on dirty mattress. Dirty tub with bugs, microwaves from 1972, management that could give a $hit! One maid for 200 rooms!!! So you know how good of a job she's doing...not! All around negative 1000 stars! read more

Have you ever had an experience so shamefully awful you start searching the room for spy cameras? I have. I booked a room at A Victory Inn & Suites because, at $80, it was the cheapest room in Ann Arbor. At first, things didn't look too bad. Sure, the building was a bit run down and the parking lot almost was empty. But the staff was friendly and the surrounding strip malls offered plenty of food and coffee. And the hotel has its own Thai restaurant. Slick. But my room, my God. Aside from the free wi-fi and refrigerator, it was a nightmare. The chair was torn and had a dried-up, white substance that very closely resembled semen. Outlets were broken; the shower was moldy without a working fan. After my friends joined me, we put our belongings in the room and ventured out for coffee. When we returned, none of our key-cards worked. Our costumes, gadgets, toiletries and everything else were locked in a room that couldn't be opened. So we temporarily were placed in a room down the hall. It only had one bed and no refrigerator, but it was a place to relax until maintenance could be summoned to retrieve our stuff. Finally, we were moved to yet another room. Again, no refrigerator, and it smelled like a mix of sour milk, mold and urine. The sink wouldn't drain, due to a giant clump of hair. But it was a place to sleep and didn't break the bank. read more

Rooms are poorly lit. Building is old and feels dirty. Customer service is certifiably very poor. Would only stay here in a real pinch.

This was the worst place I have ever visited. I can sleep in some bad or shitty places but this was the worst. Hallway and elevator smelled of weed, the rooms air-condition unit didn't work at all. The door did not secure door when it closed. (Safety issue). The toilet water looked terrible it didn't want to flush. The sink looked like it wasn't clean. They offered to switch me into another room. But I declined. Didn't see it getting any better read more

I'm still having nightmares from this place, it is truly filthy. Dirty towels, dirty blankets, a "pillow" that was a pillowcase filled with bunting. I could go on and on, but I can't let myself think about this place one more second! People say "you get what you pay for," and this place certainly was cheaper than many others in AA, but it should be $10 a night to match its quality. Avoid at all costs. read more

Since Ann Arbor hotels seem to jack up their prices about 300% during graduation weekend, this became our only choice for price and convenience. We will not be back, regardless of the price. I ignored the "made me cry" type reviews, figuring we've spent many nights in third-world holes, so nothing can be that bad. Well, from a third-world perspective, this place might earn a 2.5. From a first-world perspective, a 1 is as high as I can go--especially because I had to spend the first hour talking my wife down from shock at the hole I was expecting her to stay in. That discussion focused mostly on stuff like, "remember all the back pack hotels and hostels we stayed in as we travelled around Asia; well, let's just look at this as one of those adventures." The only thing that worked was that our son was a mile away and the place cost $49 while everyone else was charging $300. A feature this place had that we never found overseas was sketchy people in the parking lots, lobby, and hallways begging money. My wife was ogled and approached by a man loitering near the lobby vending machine. I had beggars follow me to my room and hanging out at my rental car. Some hung out in the parking lot behind our room throughout the day and the night. If you want to have a good idea of what the condition of the property is, drive around the back before you check in. If the slummy feeling back there doesn't scare you and you're willing to park your car back there, you won't mind this place. But, this is a case where the cover does tell the story of the book. The inside doesn't get much better. I've been in many older properties that were well maintained, even quaint. This is the opposite. Gave me that good old third world feeling in my bones. The room had no pillows, blankets, or hangers. The bathroom had broken shards of soap wrapped in plastic, and shampoo in ketchup packets. With no room keeping staff on site, the poor girl at the front counter was the only staff in the building, so had to lock up while she looked for bedding and hangers. Other customers seemed equally horrified, even embarrassed, about the place. Our next door neighbor unlocked his door, then proceeded to kick on the door with his heel three times before the door cracked open. He shook his head and said, "embarrassing". I had to agree, and my wife kept reminding me: "None of your coworkers or friends would be caught dead in this place." Fortunately for me, she would put up with it for our son and we'll keep moving toward our 32nd. But, not one more day of our lives will spent here. read more

I enjoyed my time at A Victory Inn in Ann Arbor. I stayed at other hotels in the area that were in this price range and this is a great value for the money. The hotel is right across from Arborland, with great restaurants, grocery shopping, craft and toy stores, a Starbucks... great location right off the highway, (US 23). The friendly and professional staff is what makes this a great hotel, from the maids to the front desk. read more

First room smelled like cigarette smoke, and the gentleman at the desk was quick to move me to another room. He was very attentive and helpful. They have a posted No Smoking policy, but maybe this is new? Huge room, with a good-sized fridge and a microwave. Carpet is pretty dirty and worn, but the sheets, towels and bathroom are clean. AC /heat helped air things out well enough for my taste. The pool has been out of commission since 2012, according to the guy at the front desk. I have heard this place is loud on weekends - full of kids in town for football games, etc., but I am here on a Monday and it's very quiet. In response to other reviews which referred to "unsavory characters" in the halls: I saw four other guests in the halls, all pretty normal, clean-cut looking folks. My sense is that if you want a cheap place to stay on a weekday, this place is okay. Definitely worn, but I don't feel like it's a health hazard...! read more

Shana Kirkland was rude and argumentative. She refused to book us a room. We have a service dog had proof of this on are phone. She said she needed paperwork. We told her it was illegal to ask for that. We tried to show her proof on are phone. She called us names yelled at us. My partner has a service dog for his medical condition. She was very inappropriately dressed very rude. I have called the hotel for the Manager for the past 3 days I'm always told his not there. This is very poor customer service. No wonder the city has tried to shut this place down read more

Nasty dirty! Even the walls and ceiling were peeling paint. Staff was rude and the free breakfast was old coffee and blueberry pop tarts.

Asked for a refund and refused an hour after buying the room.. We got dinner first. Our jacuzzi tub did not even work itwas filled with hair and some sort of oil, I personally cleaned this then noticed we had no towels I asked for some and was told they don't have any yet, the bedding was filled with cigarette burns, and smoke alarms taped off with plastic bags. Only the manager can give money back but we are from out of town for a hospital visit in the morning. I refused the offer of a new room assuming it was gross as well... The guy that switched shifts said I would be coming for the towels they did not have. I was refused contact information for the "manager" We left and paid $100 more and are now enjoying the Holliday inn. If your a crackhead this is the place for you if you have a family on a budget expect to get bed bugs and herpies. read more

They held our room for late arrival and "upgraded" us to the "best room in the house". Whoa. The room reeked of 20+ years of smoking, mystery stains on the floor, walls, couch and carpet. But at least we had a view of the pool in the middle of August. read more

I stood at the front desk calling out over and over until I yelled in the lobby for 14 min until a man came out to check me in. He never said a word just took my ID and credit card off of the counter told me to fill out the register I said sarcastically Great customer service and pointed to the elevators. I get up to the third floor and the hallways are like a sauna and my keys do not work. I try calling to the desk with my cell and no answer 10 rings later. I go down stairs to the desk and tell him my keys do not work and he smiles and chuckles. right there I called ,my credit card company and made sure the charge was not going through he laughed out loud and said I already got your money. I left and told him to do a few things that are not really possible. read more

suuuuuuuuuucks! the front desk guy was nice but the room sucked. there was poop from a previous guest in the toilet. the bath tub was frightening. there were kids partying until six in the morning - yelling in the halls, banging on doors, ringing the elevator bells, booming their stereos. dear AAA: why do you endorse this place? dear Victory Inn: wtf? read more

Beyond trash! I've been to many motels around the. Country and this is the worst! Please listen to the reviews, I wished I did! The toilets don't flush, the whole place smells like weed and tobacco. Door locks don't stay locked. Random people were coming in; using the bathroom, staining in the lobby and just hanging out around cars. The free breakfast was just a small cold coffee pot, and a small carton of juice. Very disappointed compared to what they advertise. The rooms were not clean; stains on the bedsheets(if they even washed them) dust on the table, and dysfunctional lighting and A/C units. Please..... for your safety, stay away. read more

if you would like to stay in a hotel filled with pot smoking kids who holler in the halls and think pressing the emergency bell is fun, then this is the place for you. guaranteed to be loud and obnoxious and perfect for a vice squad. the room wasn't great but not terrible. would help if they cleaned the bathroom. the front desk staff was nice. seriously if you are going to have a crappy cheap hotel it should be cheaper than 45 bucks with a AAA discount. read more

If I could give negative stars I would... This is by far the worst hotel reservation I've ever made in my entire life. I was in the Marine Corps and I traveled abroad on diplomatic missions very often, so to say this was the worst equates amongst hundreds of other hotel stays. the first room had stains all over the bed, hole in the walls, drug dealers in parking lot, sheets that looked like they haven't been washed in months, toenail clippings in pillow, and a laundry list of other issues. They changed my room and it was even worse. Requested to cancel after only stepping in the door and was denied because I "already checked in", at which point they insisted I was shit out of luck since the owner would fire the staff if he let me go without charging me something. In the end, he made me pay one nights stay, but regardless I left since this place was so disgustingly dirty, I wouldn't wish a stay here on my worst enemy. Hands down the absolute most disgusting place I've ever been to. Unfortunately this is also the first hotel that I tried to book without actually checking the reviews since I was in a rush. Worst mistake ever in hotel booking... Unless you make money selling your body, sell drugs, or a mixture of both, you won't like it here! Trust me, just save yourself the headache of being denied the cancel. read more

I am sitting here in my room at the Victory Inn and I am not comfortable being here. It was the only hotel with rooms during the Art Fair and I should have driven out of this area and found a decent hotel. This place is smelly. I have the AC on and it has been blasting for an hour and it is at best lukewarm in here. I went down the hall looking for a pop machine. Some very unsavory characters apparently call this place home. There is only 1 man at the desk and he is overwhelmed. I have my door locked and I will be getting out of here just as soon as I get a few hours of shut eye. Avoid this place if you can read more

Clean hotel but not quiet. Section 8 tenants live in the hotel and create a lot of noise. The security door near the south entrance is broken so anyone can come in. Continental breakfast is cereal, OJ, coffee and cold muffins. Rooms are spacious and have the right amenities. Wake up call was prompt and automated. Night staff are clueless. Elevator is scary. Seedy people roam hallways on the first and second floors. Got a king on hotels.com for 50 bucks so the value is good for the area. Next best price is Red Roof in at about 75 bucks. There is a small banquet facility. They do a good job cleaning. With some decent repairs this would be a nice hotel. read more

The staff was very friendly, however I do have some concerns regarding the cleanliness of this facility. When I walked into the room, a large blood stain on my pillow caught my attention (visible through the pillow case), and there was a dried up red liquid stain on the wallpaper in one of the corners (? blood). I was excited to soak up some sunshine in the pool, however after seeing the state of the pool this was not possible. The continental breakfast primarily consisted of generic Little Debbie snack brownies, and warm apple juice, and this may be just my opinion but I do not consider snack brownies to be a breakfast food. The towel rack in the bathroom was broken, and the hotel had a distinctive stale smoke smell, and several of the walls clearly have a history of water damage as you can poke a hole in the drywall with minimal pressure. Last, but certainly not least, I found a pair of moist underwear in the fridge. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly, and the snack machine was impressively stocked, and upon thorough inspection there was no bedbugs. read more

Horrible Hotel, extremely dirty and bad order for the cost. Carpet is like 50 years old without cleaning. Also, there is problem with hot water, bathroom light, Wifi is also slow...

But this one is so horrible that I want to bring awareness to everyone. AVOID IT AT ALL COST! read more

Stayed a week even paid for the next week. All week I was itching and seeing bites on my skin. When I complained about bed bugs I was kicked out of the hotel!

Do not stay here. Not only is the staff extremely rude, unorganized, and unhelpful, when we found bed bugs in both of the beds, a stink bug, and spiders they were accusing us of lying and saying bed bugs only come out at night. They also refused to refund us our $377.78 after we said we were leaving and had to shell out another $400 to stay somewhere else. I have video proof of the bed bugs. The front desk said we are the first people to ever complain about bed bugs but if you read the reviews below there are several other people complaining about the same thing. I will never stay here again. read more

Let's get something straight...this place gets a lot of negative press but actually gets the job done nicely for anyone looking for a low cost place to sleep in Ann Arbor. The key is limiting the amount of time spent in the room along with an ample amount of drinking before going to bed. Shower, toilet, and sink functional. Beautiful cement pond views with some exterior window condensation making the view somewhat blurry. No flat screen TVs but the TV is functional. Remote may or may not be included. Checkout times strictly enforced. We have been staying at A Victory Inn once a year for the last 10 years for Michigan game weekends and every time there have been no disappointments. There may be 20 better places to stay in Ann Arbor but based on the track record above there is no need to stay anywhere else! read more

There is no way I would go e even 1 star to this hotel. As Adam K. has said, this place should be condemned. First room I was given overwhelming smelled like smoke. Tried to call front desk but phone wasn't working. Walked back to front desk to get another room. This one's door lock was broken, debris on the floor, and terribly dirty carpet. Next morning realized there was no bath towel. Only shampoo, no conditioner or moisturizer. Front desk people unhelpful. As a single woman, felt less than safe. Do not pay to stay here!!! read more

Awful, filthy place. The bathroom had no handle on the sink; there was what looked like blood spatter on the bathroom door; the shower tile was lined with mildew and dirt. We informed the desk of this, but they took no action. So far from U of Michigan that you might as well be in Ypsilanti. Avoid at all cost. read more

Upon first entering our room,,it was decent ,,, a bit outdated,,but compared to the prices of other hotels in the area,,decent.
