The property was clean and looked new. Inside and outside were well-maintained. Our room was clean, but did smell strongly of a febreeze or Lysol spray when we entered. Some guests might enjoy that, but it was quite strong for us. The lighting was a little harsh/bright inside the room, but there were options. The space was well thought out, and it was nice having a small fridge. It was also very convenient to be able to cast our own show from our phones to the TV. The location is right off the highway and near a traffic circle. It took us about 15 minutes or less to get to downtown Kalamazoo and in the evening we went to a spa garden that was 20 minutes away. Overall it was a convenient location for our needs!

We stayed with friends and needed a place after a local concert. It is a quick and easy location. Everything was modern, minimalist and clean. The room was small but had everything needed and was comfortable and clean. It is a perfect spot for a short stay, clean bathroom and good night sleep. The breakfast had a good selection and fulfilled a basic breakfast. I would stay again if in the Kalamazoo area as it was perfect for a one or two night stay. This is a great no frills stay for families, couples, single or for business.
