Room was clean and very comfortable. Very historic all-around stay, but was very clean and well-kept at the same time. Staff was excellent— super hospitable and very helpful!

The room was wonderful. The staff was great! They were very accommodating and kind. I do wish they had larger pillows. We had a king bed with four very soft pillows. They were very hard to sleep on.

We traveled with our home pillows and foolishly left them. Management agreed to send them back. It was a good stay already. That makes our return sure in an area with many options.

Clean room, friendly staff, heat worked great, comfortable bed
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 historic building…they did a nice job furnishing….I dig it! Oh and the price….great,plus they left plenty of coffee in my room and had a well stocked coffee bar in lobby.
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.
More pictures of the history of the hotel from its beginning to present would be enjoyable. Great staff and centrally located.

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.
