The hotel shows its age in some places but is overall a great place to stay anytime you're in Ann Arbor; Well, maintained property. It has a full service Restuarant that serves Breakfast and Dinner. Bills there can charged to room which is convenient.

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. It was so nice to have a restaurant on site and a small bar to relax. It was also great to have a nice convenience area to pick up some fun gear, meds and sweet treats. Will definitely be staying here again.

wonderful stay at the Hotel Kensington! My new go-to place for a hotel in A2. The onsite restaurant is of amazing quality. Get the Lake Superior whitefish for dinner and the goat cheese frittata for breakfast! Wonderful coffee too, although you are just five five-minute drive away from ZIngerman's bakehouse as an alternative for a good cup of joe. You can't go wrong with a stay here - very comfortable and great service. Lovely lobby area for getting a little work done too.

6/10

Location is right outside of Briarwood Mall. The rooms are outdated. Our first room on first floor was very musty smelling. We spoke to I think Cade at the front desk and he moved our room. This room was not smelly but dated. Clean but dated. Bed was uncomfortable also. I probably would t stay there again but Cade was very helpful.

The overall stay was very good. The only drawback was not having the option to control the room temperature or fan. I had to have a fan delivered for air circulation.
