Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its incredible charm and proximity to the University of Michigan. Our son is a student at UM and we are excited to create and share an ideal place for families, alumni and other visitors to stay when coming to Ann Arbor. Go Blue! We enjoy walking to the Big House on game day, and stopping at the restaurants and pubs on the way. We usually stop in at the M Den and buy some swag on our way to the game. We love being so close to everything Ann Arbor has to offer.
