For the price, it was pretty good

The power was out for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there because of a tornado that hit in the area. We used to stay at RRI on Dunkel Road but their quality dropped considerably so we decided to give this hotel a try. We were impressed with everything and the price was right. Although I am surprised they didn't give us any break on the price considering we had no electricity. I know it was an act of God and not their fault. However, if we do the East Lansing Art Fest again, we will be staying here.

When we checked in, we were given a room that already was assigned to someone. I'm thankful they weren't there because that would've been a very awkward situation. When we got a new room, the key didn't work so we had to wait for a new key. You could tell the room hadn't had a deep cleaning in a while. For one night it was okay. Location was close to MSU but I probably wouldn't stay again...

It is a motel. Room cleanliness is subjective, specially the bathroom was not properly cleaned. Reason to book this is the convenience to MSU. Breakfast is also disappointing.

Arrived and the power was completely out. Had been out for nearly a day, they did not bother to warn anyone, and they would not refund my stay. DO NOT BOOK.

Good location to MSU

The room was clean, staff nice. They are a 2-3 star hotel the location is excellent t for MSU, Walls are thin you can hear everything, one of the rooms we had someone had smoked and it smell of smoke. We left the fan on to lighten the smell. There is a Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s next door, it was great to get a really god cup of coffee or snacks. Overall the room was good
