All the staff was exceptional and very welcoming, rooms very modern, comfortable, and spotless. Food and service were great for dinner and breakfast alike. Great weights on the gym, easy to access. Perfect stay when visiting the university.
The hotel is very updated, clean and well maintained. Has one of the best hotel bars in Ann Arbor and is in walking distance to the University of Michigan. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
There is no pool or spa but they are affiliated with a local spa.
PERFECTION! I didn't think it could of been any better than my last stay but, It was even better! Staff went above and beyond once again and Each of them are uniquely amazing THANK YOU!! For another amazing get away!!
The property was really nice. Great location, great fitness center and staff at the front desk, concierge and parking attendants and cleaning services were all wonderful. The only critique is the wait staff in the restaurant had a bit of an attitude.
We only spent one night at the hotel, but it was just perfect. Beautiful property with well appointed rooms. We will absolutely stay here again in the future!
The rooms are excellent!!! Clean and very well appointed. Hotel staff was polite , professional, and very helpful. We had dinner at the Hotel and the food and service was amazing.

Great stay. We've stayed at 4-5 properties in AA including the Graduate. This is going to be out spot going forward. Especially liked the room/bed. Gym solid too.
Phenomenal stay at this wonderful hotel. elegant and upbeat staff with a great restaurant on the property. Front desk staff, valet and restaurant staff excellent - especially Gary H who took great care of us during dinner. Kudos
The Vanguard in Ann Arbor went beyond my expectations! The room, lobby, restaurant and staff were exceptional! Our daughter was a student at U of M and we have stayed at many of the on-campus hotels throughout the years. The Vanguard is in a class of its own! I can't wait to stay there again!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to everyone!!!
This is the best stay ever i a few years. the hotels is beautiful, the front desk personnel were superb!
The room was spotless cleaned. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities. Food was outstanding as well as the bar. We're looking forward to be back soon!!
