Yes, the downtown has many cool restaurants (no chains). The atmosphere is a college town feeling with students bustling about and lots of trendy shopping.
@@mitchellgraves2774 I have a few Ann Arbor hotel reviews on my channel. I like The Graduate if you want to walk to campus. I've also stayed at the Bell Tower. The Hyatt Place is popular, but the next time I go, I think I'll stay at EVEN. Sweetwaters coffee is very popular and I prefer it when I'm in A2. I also like Cinnaholic. I like Isalita Cantina Mexicana, Jolly Pumpkin, Zingerman's or Zingerman's Roadhouse, and Frita Batido's (hamburgers). There are some good restaurants that aren't national chains, but have other locations in Michigan (Hopcat, Condado Taco, Jolly Pumpkin). These are all pretty midrange pricing, but Ann Arbor prices are higher in general. There are several upscale restaurants if you're there to celebrate. Let me know if you visit. I'd be interested to hear what you think:)
@JuliaLives1111 Thanks for all the much needed info! I'm planning on going in October so I'm trying to get it planned out as best I can with suggestions from ones that have been there in the area. Planning on visiting a few sites in the Detroit area but thought ann arbor would be a better place to stay. Trying to plan a night in Chicago also before I get there and then back down to Louisville for a day or so before returning home.. If you had to choose which one would you Say had the best accommodations for the rates?
@@mitchellgraves2774 If you're looking to stay in Ann Arbor, watch out for prices around sporting events. The hotel prices will soar if there is an event that weekend, in which case, you'd be better off staying closer to Detroit. I found the prices in Chicago to be higher than expected when I stayed there last summer. I stayed at the Westin and ended up paying around $580 for one night, which is higher than what I've paid in the past.
