I'm going to visit michigan..

<p>i'm thinking the weekend of april 8th ~ april 9th
i would like to go on the 13th or 14th because of the engineering day but i live in california and i just don't have time
is there a place where i can stay near campus for a relatively cheap price?
i don't need nice service or anything, just two nights to stay, preferably close to ann arbor amtrak station.
also, i would like to know if there's a cheap place near detroit airport which is also close to detroit amtrak station.</p>

<p>Are you going alone or with your parents? If alone, then you can just stay in south quad with my roommates and I and we'll probably charge much less than a hotel.</p>

<p>hahaha...how sketch is that.</p>

<p>Come stay w/ random CC friends that you meet online. Don't do it riyam. I know chibears...super sketch-ball. O:-)</p>

<p>KB</p>

<p>Lmao @ Chibear!!!!</p>

<p>oh yeah, that's me. Heard of the Ann Arbor canine killer????.....me neither....muahahahahaha</p>

<p>Actually, I was planning to visit Ann Arbor, too, and I found this</a> Motel 6. It's nice, it has a pool...and stuff, and if you book online, it's $41/night; otherwise, it's $45 (at least for the dates I was planning to visit).</p>

<p>Which is really nice. You'll have to be with a parent though, check-in age being 21.</p>

<p>It's 3-4 miles to UMich, that's all I know about the location.</p>

<p>Yeah, i'd recommend staying off-campus, there's parking lots downtown and meters, if you have a car. It's much cheaper.</p>

<p>Motel 6 is okay, probably the least expensive chain motel to stay in Ann Arbor. I haven't stayed there but I drive by frequently. It's pretty deserted around there by night, not a lot of foot traffic.</p>

<p>There really isn't a hotel close to the Amtrak station. If you want to stay right near campus, the choices are Campus Inn or Bell Tower, but both are pretty pricey.</p>

<p>Campus Inn was very nice... I was there for two nights during Shipman weekend. Also, I was there alone, so that might help... Yeah, probably not going to be very cost effective.</p>

<p>zoogies / i just called that motel 6 and they said check in age is 18. i just booked a room for 4/13-4/14, 2 nights for $79.98. thanks a lot for that information.</p>

<p>You might try the Lamp Post Inn. It's not expensive, it's a bit closer to campus - and it's in a nice neighborhood. 734-971-8000 If you don't mind walking, you could walk to campus in about 40 minutes.</p>

<p>4501 South Quad is still probably the most the most cost-effective option....I mean...I'm not lonely.</p>

<p>yo, if you guys need a place to stay, kenny (kb - lives right above my boyfriend and around the corner from me), mike (lives in south quad) and i are more than happy to host you. that's what most colleges do. i'm sure the other two would vouch for me, too. i am female, for those of you who are, too, and i live in east quad. kenny has a pretty nice room, as do i, but mike's is nasty and he lives with three other people. </p>

<p>let us know if you need a place to stay :)</p>

<p>lmao...thanks for volunteering my room.</p>

<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>

<p>oh beckster.</p>

<p>Correction to Becky's post--for those of you who are female, the preferred dorm room tends to be Mike's (and company). And for your info becky, it's not nasty. It has character.</p>

<p>for those of you who are female.</p>

<p>...come on now chibears....come on now....</p>

<p>I'm just stating fact, brother. if we took a long-run average from the first day of school, I'd say our room averages 1.1 girls sleeping here per night. The ladies just love the place, man.</p>
