What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 223 guest reviews
Bell Tower Hotel earns consistently strong sentiment for its unbeatable position on the University of Michigan campus, genuinely warm staff, and charming boutique character. Recurring gripes include small, sometimes dark rooms, unreliable air conditioning, alley noise overnight, and valet-only parking that catches guests off guard. Breakfast divides opinion sharply — some find it a pleasant perk, others consider it too basic for the hotel's price point.
