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.

I will preface this 'review' by saying I have not stayed at her 'inn' and I never will. I booked…read moreher 'cottage' in Indian River for myself, my adult son, and my pregnant daughter in law. I had my small 12 lb dog on the trip with me but explained to Jan that since no dogs were allowed, that my dog would continue staying with my sister at her cottage down the road. I went on to tell her how my dog loves my sister and she would be more than fine there. My dog never once stepped foot on her property. The experience once we arrived at the property was absolutely terrible. The property was in deplorable condition. Weeds had overtaken the 'walkway', the home was so dirty, windows were yellow! Curtains were dusty and filthy. The best part was the blood stained sheets on the bed. The house had an overwhelming smell of old & musty mixed with mothballs. So on top of the blood stained sheets on the bed, dried blood in the trashcan, the smell of musty and mothballs made my pregnant daughter in law sick. I immediately reached out to Jan and explained my concerns. Not only did she not return my text for a few hours, she accused me of not being forthcoming with who was going to be staying, accused me of having my dog on her property, and had the audacity to tell me she advertises the cottage as 'rustic', and as 'grandma's cottage' and if I wanted stainless steel and granite that I should've booked elsewhere. She never once took any accountability and lied to Airbnb trying to screw me out of my money. I would avoid doing any business whatsoever with Jan Davies. BEWARE!

It was clear that they do their best to make their guests comfortable. The studio had everything I needed. Jan was kind enough to loan me a couple of appliances when I needed them. The place is conveniently located and is almost on the 24 bus line that serves U-M. It is also very close to other lines (6 and 5). Briarwood Mall is close by as well. I am very grateful to Jan and Larry for showing me around Ann Arbor, being there for me when I needed an urgent ride, and helping me with my move. I understand that these are not standard services, but it is nice to have good neighbors when you are new to town. I am frankly puzzled by some of the comments on this site. They do not reflect my personal experience. I have nothing but praise for the place and the management. After all, having stayed there for 90+ days should count for something. Enough with the negativity! I would highly recommend Davies House Inn and I would definitely stay there again.

This is our favorite hotel when visiting family in the area. It is a sprawling resort, as the name…read moreimplies, and there are plenty of hallways, wings, and cultivated grounds to explore. Its an ideal destination for an extended stay. As a former seminary built in the 1940's, the architectural flourishes are second to none. Design aficionados will be in aesthetic heaven. There are three restaurants on site - an Irish Pub, a wine Bar, and a Steakhouse with a bar and breakfast service. The wine bar is definitely worth a visit, whereas I recommend the other two options primarily for their convenience. Service is exceptional and the beds are firm but very comfortable, nonetheless. The in-room TV supports casting TV & movie apps - Netflix, Hulu, etc. - but not music apps, for some reason. Fortunately we brought a WiFi speaker. A few notes on accessibility follow. For context, I can walk with crutches but need to use a wheelchair for long distances. And this hotel is all about long distances. We had an accessible king room, and while the lanes for navigating a wheelchair around the bed are tight, they are manageable. The bed is super comfortable but also very TALL. It could be tricky to transfer to the bed from a wheelchair without assistance of crutches. There is plenty of space in the bathroom and the roll in-shower has a good set up with an accessible shelf for shampoo, etc. Be careful with the bathroom door - it is a very heavy sliding door with a strange locking mechanism. The public spaces in the hotel, including the restrooms, are generally modern and accessible. I also noticed that the pool has a swing chair for water access. One exception is the Irish Pub, which treated accessibility as an afterthought when it was designed. There is no wheelchair access within the hotel - you'll want to drive around to the back to use its parking lot. Additionally, to get to the restroom or the second floor of the pub you'll need to use one of smallest prefab dumb waiters I've ever been in. Finally, be advised that the entrance to the hotel is at the top of a steep hill, and the porte-cochère landing itself is at a slant. Be agile with your brakes, and let your companion park the car after you've exited if you can. Also note that there are only 4 designated accessible parking spaces. We've seen them all full on multiple occasions; for a parking lot of its size, the hotel should probably add about 4 more.

I'm traveling in Michigan this week with a colleague and he booked this hotel and I was curious…read morewhat this was. Looking from the outside I didn't see anything extremely extraordinary but when I got to the room and looked closer, this is a step above. Whether boutique is the right name or not, I really liked this place! Checked in easily even two hours early, which was great, king size bed with lots of pillows, above standard linens, Starbucks, coffee, TV refrigerator the basics until you go to the bathroom. Took me a minute to look and see the details then when my eyes got focused first thing I noticed was a full sauna shower with overhead showerhead, jets coming from the back, extendable wand, Good sized with easy push button water jets. Then to the toilet! Full state of the art bidet toilet with heated seat, heated water, spray, dryer, temperature controls not your standard bathroom. This is a $3000 toilet lol. I'm getting one for my house! Then I look at the mirror and there are buttons with Bluetooth on off and on the ceiling, Bose stereo speakers that you can sync your phone to while you take a shower and listen to music. Have to say for a little over 200 bucks a night hotels I've stayed at in New York City for $400 may have had more room, but they didn't have amenities like this. This is an older looks like a family owned business, with plenty of conference rooms, and just those extra touches that told me this place was above and beyond. Then we had to Webster's restaurant for lunch and had another great experience.. Great service, we both had soup and salad with my colleague. Having the lobster bisque. I opted for the black bean soup of the day, which was fabulous! Lots of protein lots of flavor not your standard black bean soup. The walnut cranberry salad was perfect for my diet and the full menu was actually quite inviting. Went back out to work to see another. Client came back and decided to eat dinner here so we actually sat at the bar where we had a couple of cocktails, then looked at the menu, but once I was told prime rib was a specialty. I went ahead and opted for the 12 ounce prime rib, which came out perfectly rare to medium rare. My colleague got the ribeye also medium rare. Perfect, we had a escargot and some great short rib, stuffed pastry, and au jus, couldn't really reverse engineer it, but it was quite tasty. Full bar selection, excellent brands and great wine selection. Breakfast was a little pricey, but expected. Having recently had a heart attack. I opted for the overnight oats with apple and Greek yogurt while the other dish was the American breakfast with eggs hashbrowns sausage, the Works. This is fine, dining, tablecloths, servers are all spot on, front staff is cordial and friendly. Just not something you get at a Hilton or a Marriott that we typically stay at. Price points were a little higher, but have to say I was not only pleasantly surprised but very impressed. Being an older place. There's a lot of finished wood work, sitting areas that are nicely decorated. Personally, I loved it. The next time in the area, I will gladly come back and enjoy everything they have to offer here. Highly recommend.!!

Why work at a job where you would feel so annoyed with being questioned at a hospitals hotel front desk by customers, while working as a hospitals hotel front desk customer service representative, that you would feel so inclined to spend part of your work day and money sitting at the front desk looking for the perfect nameplate? To do what? Make a paying customer feel uncomfortable? I feel troubled that they have to put up such a wall to their customers for whatever personal reasons but mostly feel sorry for the customers. They are approachable but it's best to google it. You think they hide it when the big boss comes or do you think it matters? Scary. Hotel is inconvenient. Stayed there due to a long drive after appointment and we were like cool a hotel in the hospital! If you've ever been on an aircraft carrier or such think of it like that maze of going down three decks to find the ladder up four deck just to get to the other side of the bulkhead than you see what I mean. Closest parking is far and bringing anything is a ruck march THROUGH the hospital BUILDING to the Med Inn building. Smoking is off the whole campus. Cameras everywhere. Outdated and did I mention the nameplate? Housekeeping and breakfast people were alright I guess. You might want to spend your money where you know they have to act like they care... and do without some smart remark next to where you swipe your credit card. Getting a ride in and out to the hospital can be more relaxing and convenient since it would take less walking getting a ride from another hotel to the front of the hospital and off to your appointment then walking from med inn to most spots especially surgery.
