An Dro

Since my spouse is Irish it is always difficult to overlook an Irish sound coming to Ann Arbor. I am , therefore, pleased to announce that the Ark will be hosting An Dro, a celtic type folk band on January 12.

“An Dro is a union of four seasoned instrumentalists who speak from the heart with uncommon synergy. Their music is a blend of traditional and original melodies from across the globe, reaching back to the past, with an eye to the present and the future.”

Their music is difficult to classify since it brings together sounds as diverse as traditional Irish melodies, Appalchian influences, African grooves and even some medieval European sounds. Yet whether you are ready for dancing, or just ready for a lively night of fantastic music, join An Dro at the Ark for a wonderful evening. Tickets can be found at The Ark on line.

The Lamp Post Inn will offer special guest rates for those that are attending the concert. Simply enter the promo code ARKEVENT when making reservations for the night of January 12th and you will be given several discounts on our most popular units.

We are pleased to announce our Mid Week Fall Special. Stay three consecutive mid week nights and pay only for the first two. The third one is free.

We are very fortunate to be located near the University of Michigan, the hospitals and of course downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Many of our guests commute from other parts of the state or even out of state and each week spend three or four days at our hotel. These individuals – students, doctors, professors and nurses have extended stays in Ann Arbor on a regular basis.

Our mid week special is just made for this situation. We are offering for September and October a special to reward these people and to introduce ourselves to others. Our promotion will allow people staying three days or more a special pricing of pay for two nights and receive the third night free. This rate will be available every Sunday – Thursday until October 15 on our two double bed units. Since our pricing for that type of unit is already competitive on a nightly basis at under $52.00, the special pricing will allow 3, 4, and 5 night stays at less than $35.00 per night (the fourth and fifth night will be priced at the same average pricing).

Go directly to our website at the Lamp Post Inn and use the special booking code MW3211 to receive this sensational price. Please keep in mind that this is a mid week special and that we can not include any weekends in this particular promotion.
