Front desk checkin staff was spectacular. Great customer service. Thank you!
Worked decently for MSU game otherwise I wouldn’t consider. Shower was almost unusable, bright lights shining in the room during the night without room darkening shades, ok area.
Smells unpleasantly, I can’t say smells dirty, just uncomfortable. The room is one very small piece, oldest ever been, it should be called motel so we don’t reserve if we are expecting an hotel.
The service team was wonderful and friendly. The accommodations were poor.

This is a good value. The property is older but was overall clean and staff was friendly.
Couple things that were not so great were that the day we checked in there was a strong chemical smell from the room. We had to run the AC for hours before that went away. Additionally during the night there was someone lifting heavy stuff and walking with heavy steps for many hours during the night starting around 11pm. I called the front desk multiple times and told them that is is not acceptable and that people need to sleep. They were apologetic but told me that they cannot do anything about the walking. On calling them again they said they will see what they can do and nothing changed. Finally around 1am I gave up and I had to put headphones on with white noise to go back to sleep.
I've stayed at this hotel for three days, and all three were a pleasure. The employees such as Melissa were super friendly and helpful throughout my visit. For example, there was a problem with the cable tv, so I requested maintenance to solve the issue. Melissa and another girl who I unfortunately can't recall her name came asap and fixed the problem successfully! If I knew all the employees' names who I interacted with, I'd acknowledge all of them.
