Great hotel. This was my second time there. Very convenient if you have to do business at MSU. Wonderful staff. Cozy and comfortable rooms. Cafe in the lobby is very convenient. The only thing was the smell of the cleaning products in the hallways which was strong and nauseating to me. But it did the job as the hotel is very clean. Other that that I loved everything.

It was evident to me that there are upper-management issues at this property. All service-facing employees went above and beyond—especially the front desk staff, who were truly amazing. However, several concerns arose, particularly regarding room cleanliness and the hotel’s overall management and operational standards. This did not feel like a Hilton experience. The hallways had an unpleasant odor, and the room did as well. Lobby doorways and walls, including those in the elevators and guest rooms, were not as clean as expected. That said, all housekeepers were extremely kind and professional. Whoever is responsible for making the executive-level decisions regarding how this hotel is run should revisit their operational philosophy. I was born and raised in this area, and given that this hotel is relatively new, these issues were especially disappointing. I will not be returning to this property.

I thought the bed was very comfortable and I like that there was a bar on the top floor. I did not like the fact that they did not have a regular coffee pot or that there was no ice bucket in the room and we had to go down to get a bucket and ice. I also really don’t like the situation with checking in. We could not get close up to the door because there were so many other cars trying to get unloaded and the parking situation is either valet or park a couple blocks away and walk. This particular day it was freezing cold. Other than that, I think it is a really pretty hotel and has a lot to offer. One of the chicken girls was pretty grumpy to my daughter when she was checking in. With all that said, I still give it a four star rating.
