Axel's take: 6.2/10
Useful breakfast and parking, but inconsistent upkeep makes this a cautious budget pick. An older, budget-oriented 3-star on Ann Arbor’s west side, scored for what it is.
Wyndham Garden is an older, budget-oriented 3-star at 2900 Jackson Avenue in Ann Arbor—not Plymouth. We'd consider it for a short stay with a car, rather than a dependable family getaway. Free parking, included breakfast and an indoor pool are useful extras. Recent Expedia guests often praise helpful staff, comfortable rooms and the breakfast selection, while Trip.com feedback also gives breakfast credit.
The sticking point is consistency. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly describe worn areas, weak air-conditioning and uneven cleaning, alongside plenty of satisfactory stays. Some guests report refreshed rooms, but that hasn't eliminated maintenance complaints. The communal hot tub was repeatedly reported empty or broken from May through September 2026; don't count on it without confirmation. We'd skip this if reliable room condition, strong cooling or working leisure facilities are priorities.
