The only objection I will voice is the very strong odors in the corridors at least on our floor (2). It is like hydrocarbons of some kind like turpentine or similar. Otherwise a very nice hotel.

It was a great location for the game on the MSU campus. The room temperature was great. You could feel the music from the dance club that was nearby (our room was on the third floor). We also parked in public parking overnight. I did enjoy the stay overall. Thank you!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Over priced, poor air conditioning, cramped room, uncomfortable bed, grout on shower tile is dirty and stained, parking availability is not good, I will say that they tried to get the air working better, but it never did cool off. There was smoking area outside our original room and they were good enough to move us to an inside room, for an additional charge, I do not recommend this place

It's a remodeled historic property so the layout is quirky. It's just a little off the beaten path but still close to the activity. Staff is always so nice and accommodating.

Historical nature is nice. Lobby area is lovely. “Cabana” King rooms are quite “dated “ and are accessible after crossing g through and up metal evacuation stairs to a balcony that o relooks the roof and rooftop equipment. Advertised “balcony” is a misnomer and is rather disappointing, These rooms should carry a significant discount.

Needs pressure washing and updating

It was just a quick overnight stay. When we pulled up, I was very concerned, it was advertised as an updated hotel but the exterior is in dire need of pressure washing and paint. It was also a little cluttered looking with old plants and chairs. You could tell at one time it has been updated, but not in the past decade or so

Enjoyed our stay. The pull out bed, expected to not be comfortable, was in fact very uncomfortable. Perhaps a foam topper could help. Otherwise, great stay!
