I needed a quick getaway that didn't involve spending a zillion dollars and far enough away that I…read morecould unplug. After some soul searching and what not, I figured I'd try a bed and breakfast and do this place since I'm a scrapbooker. My scrapbookings fallen by the wayside over the past year, so I got really behind due to my work schedule. I figured why not, let's see what all this excitements about with this Bed and breakfast stuff. They're supposed to have valet here on Friday nights, but I guess not this time. I was kind of bummed because I had three different things to carry in, two of which were heavy. (The valet was supposed to carry in your scrapping cart and luggage for you.) since that wasn't available I went inside, found the host Tracy and she was more then willing to help me get my stuff in. I had an assigned seat with other crafters, most of them were repeat people who come all the time. It's not just scrapbooking here. One lady had her sewing machine, another was doing digital drawings, others were making a multitude of projects. You have to bring most of your own stuff like scissors, supplies, etc. They have a "store" in the basement with a great selection of paper, a few light supplies (which I ended up needing because I blew thru a TON of double sided tape) and a crop area. The die cut area is something to be desired. The blade needs sharpening on the paper cutter. They have a cricket but said to bring your own cricket mat. I asked about using it, and it was like "oh yea, that thing. If you know how to use it, go ahead." *sigh* Not a single person there used it and nobody had a mat. Good thing I didn't buy one. That would've been a huge waste. The die cuts themselves are okay, but it could be better. They have some premade ones for sale, and the ones on the wall where you do it yourself were really limited. Nothing's more exciting than being in the middle of a project and needing to find a little wagon for my page only to find out they don't have a wagon die cut. The stores I go to have a decent selection. Why not here. Anyway, I digress. The bonus of being here is they have a fabulous outdoor pool. It's not heated, so if you like swimming in ice water, this is your scene. LOL. I did get in because it was 90 degrees and very humid and I needed to cool down. We all were outside swimming and actually had a good time! There's plenty of good seating throughout, flowers, pool seats you can take with you to float and sit on. Flowers are everywhere, and drinks were provided! Very well done on the pool area. It was actually a great way for all of us to relax. A lot of the ladies read books, did workouts or just had coffee and talked. The rooms were wonderful and cozy. Limited space in the room to put your stuff down, so there's that. I had a roommate and we got along just fine. Another ray of sunshine! The food was wonderful and we never went hungry. The major downside which I did not like? As the other posters said, the "frequent flyers" that come here are hard regulars. They're NOT a friendly group. I did talk to Tracy the hostess about it and told her hey, this is a thing here I guess. It's not awful but it kind of left a mark with me. It's not that it's clickesh or anything, but they just aren't friendly. Some are. Some are not. It made for awkward moments. I know I, the hostess or anyone else cannot tell people to be friends. I made friends with other people while here, but some of these people are literal pain in the butt. It would be nice if they had a mixer instead of everyone just sitting at their tables all the time, and maybe break up some of the tension at times. Will I come back? Probably, but I'd have to think twice first. I had a good time, the place is absolutely fabulous but I don't know. Most of the stuff was fun, lots to do, but again, the old ladies just kind of ruined everything.

(the cable wasn't working, but I didn't really care to watch) However, the room was comfortable, the neighborhood was pleasant and Marta's breakfasts were healthy and delicious. I actually ended up going on a bike tour with her, and she is really in shape for a lady her age. The decor was bright and cheerful- she has done a nice job with an older home. Check out the website so you know what it expect- its not a luxo-type of place, just a nice place to stay for a reasonable price with a really nice hostess.

This place is located on Huron St on the North side of the main campus…read more It has its own parking with one entrance/exit. There are 6 spots (see photo). This is a huge benefit because parking is very very limited around the Michigan campus. We stayed in the Laguna Beach room (see photo) which had minifrige, microwave, Keurig, and a hot plate in the cabinet. The room was comfortable and quiet. There is a small balcony to the right of the bed in the photo. But there is no view from that balcony. The owner was very nice and accommodating. There are snacks in the main kitchen. We did not eat the breakfast because we had to be on campus before 8am. Check out is 11am but we left our car parked until 3:30 when we left to go to the airport. Very good and convenient option when visiting Michigan.

She knows her way around so please feel welcomed to ask her for directions. Her cozy abode is quirky at first but you'll be drawn by the deep passion this lady has for these knickknacks. Home is well furnished: community bathroom, community kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and dining room (red room) for breakfast. Very clean and full of color. She cooks a pretty good "eggs in a basket" dish that's a scramble of eggs, asparagus, almonds, cranberries, and chicken/asiago cheese sausages. Croissant (so good!), coffee, tea, and orange juice is also available. She's very accommodating so don't be afraid to ask. The only issues we came across were the extra soft beds and fleece sheets that may be uncomfortable for some. Room's aren't too spacious but enough to house two people comfortably (but who stays in on a vacation?). She does have cats but they stay in her room and may roam in the breakfast area. I'm allergic to cats but they were not a problem for me at all. Please do keep the library bed and breakfast in mind the next time you come to Ann Arbor as her price is comparable and she'll make your experience a pleasurable memory!

The owner, Joan Knoertzer, indicated that she was late for an appointment, but asked for a minute, then came back and told us to come by anyway! We arrive to a non-description residence covered with grapevines and trees on Mary Street, just off the busy corner of Packard and State. You could almost throw a rock and hit the Athletic Administration building we were so close! We parked on the street and walked up the curving steps to warmly greeted by a wonderful lady decked out in full Maize and Blue. This was just the beginning, as we entered which could best described as a bibliophile paradise crossed with a museum to all things Ann Arbor/ U of M. Climbing the steps, you first encounter the Poetry and Mystery Rooms, followed by a full Pullman kitchen and sitting area. If your into Ann Arbor's past, you'll find two great hanging lights from the old Pretzel Bell Restaurant, surrounded by books of all types. Last is the Tiny Book Room, which is filled with - you guessed it - tiny books. We had a great dinner later than night at Melting Pot (review forthcoming) and went to bed early and slept great. We woke up the next morning to amazing smells coming from downstairs, where we and another couple were greeted to fresh coffee, OJ, homemade pumpkin bread and pumpkin butter! This was followed by a fruit course and an amazing quiche. Mixed with a wonderful conversation, we felt like we were totally at home. Even the three cats, Kipling, Cinnamon and, well, I forget the third, treated us well. We then spent the next hour talking about everything books - we just didn't want to leave! Trust me, there is no better place to stay in AA, especially for the price and the food. Try it, you won't be sorry!

Most of us had steak, which was a very generous portion, especially for a wedding! I was expecting something like a filet, but it was a huge NY strip. It was cooked perfectly to my liking: medium, and had this velvety au jus that was so savory. Everything was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. No mushy green beans here! The roasted mushroom & chipolini onion and roasted potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. My Mom had the chicken and she said it was also delicious. Before dinner, a cheese & crackers and fruit buffet was set up, and 2 hors d'oeuvres were being served: a smoked chicken tart and crispy chicken wontons. The cake after dinner and the appetizer late-night buffet were also delicious. Pizza, quesadillas and chips & salsa. Yum! Truly tasty treats. I was especially impressed by the service. They served the entire table quickly and everything was correct. The ballroom is gorgeous - it's a very old building, of course, so high, vaulted ceilings, wood floors, luxurious finishes. A beautiful place to have a wedding or event! And it's SO convenient to head upstairs to one of their lovely rooms afterward. I'm sure we'll be back again!

There's cable tv too but I don't watch it. Also there is a motel 2 blocks away that is the complete opposite kind of scene: loud noise, people arguing, drama, cops, drugs, and prostitutes 24/7- I happen to work across the street from the bad motel so I see it everyday. The people that want to be crazy tend not to stay at the Your Motel and they usually opt for the one down the street. The rooms are reasonably priced at "Your" and I always recommend people to stay there!
