Hotel TownePlace Suites by Marriott a Ann Arbor

We stayed here for the final night of a quick visit to Ann Arbor, having spent the bulk of our trip at the slightly nicer Even Hotel located just down the street. This hotel is likewise located right next to I-94. To our pleasant surprise, when we got to the hotel we learned that we were being upgraded to a two-bedroom suite located at one end of the fourth floor (the hotel's top floor). The room wasn't quite ready when we tried to check-in a bit early, so we left our bags and headed out to lunch. We received a text that the room was ready soon after, so we headed back after lunch to check-in. TownePlace Suites are a short-stay concept where the rooms have a small kitchen, a larger refrigerator, and a dining table with chairs. The two-bedroom suite that we were upgraded into was very, very spacious! The bathroom was fine, although the sink's counter space was limited, but there were sufficient towel hooks, which we didn't have the benefit of in a Frederick, MD TownPlace Suites a while back. Our flight home was early the next morning, so we did not partake of the free breakfast at the hotel available to all guests. Our room (Room 431) was located about as close as could be to I-94, a busy interstate highway with a speed limit of 70 mph. Unfortunately, that made the noise of passing vehicles inescapable, and they could sometimes even be heard over the sound of the white noise program on our I-Pad that we use to drown out outside noises while sleeping at a hotel. If you can, we would recommend asking for a room located further away from the highway so that the noise would be less or non-existent. As noted, we were staying here only one night and had the benefit of an upgrade to a suite with two separate bedrooms, so we didn't try to move our location.
