Parking is Difficult

Nothing bad to say about the hotel in general. The Restaurant / Bar on the 10 floor is very nice - Great view of campus. The only realistic parking option is valet - unless you are interested in walking 1/2 mile. This does add to the cost of the stay - and a tip will be requested for each in and out. I also found a deep ding on my car when it was returned.

This is a unique hotel with a lot of character! Love the decor and the staff were terrific! The headboards are fabric. This was super weird for me and I felt like there is no way they can truly keep this clean and disinfected.

The parking situation is not good

In the morning I found my car outside the front door (staging area) - Strange because I did not ask the valet to pull my car. But not a big deal since I needed my vehicle in a few hours. I then walked past my vehicle on my way to get a cup of coffee and noticed a big ding in my front fender - aligned exactly with the car parked next to me (and the same color scrape in the ding). I was told to fill out a report - Which I did. First I was blown off then denied my claim. Very disappointing! Here's a point I want to share - Parking options at the hotel 1) Valet - $35/ day + Tips - so total averaging ~ $45.00 day. Note I was told the lot is ~ 1/4 mile away. So you will not have access to your vehicle to grab things - unless you have the valet get your vehicle. Option 2) There is a parking garage ~ 1/4 mile away. $20/day. However no in and out access - So a few ins and out you will likely be at $30+ / day. Note: These where the options given to us by the front desk attendant upon check in.

Truly loved staying here! It was my first time as an alumni from class of ‘95! I was there for the changing of the guard from Judd to Izzo. And was able to take my daughter to a basketball game at Breslin! There is nothing else like it! East Lansing and Michigan State will always have my heart and it bleeds green. Thank you for your lovely hotel and atmosphere. We will be back!

I made reservations for two queen beds months in advance and when I got there they told me they only had one bed rooms. Horrible service to give our room away to someone else. I Will never use expedia again since apparently there is no guarantee for the room you end up with, or go to Graduate East Lansing.
