Hotels in Ann ArborA wellness-focused 3-star beside Briarwood Mall and I-94
8.3/10
A comfortable, friendly base for drivers, with highway noise and an unreliable hot tub.
This wellness-focused 3-star beside Briarwood Mall is a strong pick for Ann Arbor visitors with a car. It's an EVEN hotel, not a Holiday Inn Express, with in-room exercise equipment, a well-equipped gym and an indoor pool. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and genuinely helpful staff. Free parking makes it a practical alternative to staying downtown.
The main compromise is noise: multiple guests report intrusive I-94 traffic, so request a room away from the highway. Maintenance is less consistent than cleanliness; guests reported the hot tub broken in July and September 2026, despite it remaining advertised. Confirm repairs before counting on it. Breakfast generally costs extra unless included in your booking. We'd skip it for a walk-everywhere campus trip or a stay built around the whirlpool.
