Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room had string musty, moldy, chemical smell which affected my sinuses. Was offered another room but with same but less strong odor. Housekeeping offered to spray the room with freshener but that just covered up whatever was affecting my sinuses. Just couldn’t stay. Refused room and went to another motel.

Clean room but hallway and carpeted stairs en route to rooms was not clean (odor and not vacuumed). Would stay again, however because of room comfort and cleanliness.

Front desk mgr Starr and Melissa were perfectly wonderful to me. Construction on Starbucks across the street was terrible, but the general location was great. Beds were. Very high but super comfy.

Ac doesnt work very well, was not on when we got to the room. 97 out. Room smelly, and though some newer finishes, its not great. Hope the beds are clean when we pull the covers back. Was looking forward to a nicer place. This is only a small step up....

Every time I go to East Lansing I stay at the Clarion. It is perfectly located. Close to where my friend lives and campus and downtown are a couple of minutes away. It’s clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff are friendly and competent. I will continue to stay there when I’m in East Lansing.
