Courtyard by Marriott Lansing Downtown
"Room was great, but our view was of the roof. Parking area was good, especially if you are lucky enough to get a space close to the nearest entrance. Our room door was difficult to open, dragged a bit on the floor. Front staff were awesome! All in all, I would recommend this facility."
