Choices are great. However, sometimes too many choices can get overwhelming. When looking for a place to stay in Ann Arbor there are many to choose from, so it’s important to have a plan in order to choose the right hotel for you. It’s not always the most exciting part of planning a vacation, but if you make the right choice it could make your vacation that much better. Let’s go over a few things that will help you make the right choice to save yourself time and reduce frustration.

Filtering and sorting hotels
Since you have already decided to visit Ann Arbor, the hard part is taken care of.

One of the first things to do when looking for the best place to stay, is decide what room amenities are most important to you. For example if you want only hotels that have WiFi and a whirlpool then search for hotels that match those needs in Ann Arbor. If you are looking for special packages such as “romantic” or “family” packages, look for places that accommodate your desired package. This will eliminate any hotels that don’t match your requirements, which gives you fewer options to sift through.

Next step is to make a list of potential places to stay and then begin sorting your list. Maybe price is the most important thing, or maybe you want to sort by the review ratings. Now you can look at the choices in the order that’s important to you.

Looking at the map

See all of the nearby attractions to the hotels your are considering. These types of things are usually mentioned in the hotel description, but it would take a long time to read every single one to find out. Instead, pull up Google maps and find Ann Arbor, MI. Locate the hotels you are considering and see if there are nearby attractions or if the hotel has a shuttle service for its guests to visit desired destinations.

Decide what’s most important to you in a hotel in Ann Arbor
Some people only want a hotel with free breakfast while others prefer to eat their morning meal at a local restaurant or bakery. If free breakfast isn’t important to you, don’t let that become a determining factor. If you want a place with WiFi, read to see if it’s free or for a fee and if it’s available throughout the hotel or just in the common areas like the lobby. Also determine if the hotel has only WiFi, only a computer with internet available for use, or both. If fitness is important to you, possibly you are searching for a hotel with an exercise room.

For example, the Ann Arbor Regent Hotel has free wifi, complimentary breakfast, shuttle service, fitness room, indoor pool, hot tub and more. If this is what you are looking for, you have found your perfect place to stay in Ann Arbor.

Once you determine your necessities, it should make narrowing down your decision much easier. Pick the place that accommodates your desires and make a reservation!
