The room had a mini kitchen which was perfect for us since we were there for parents weekend and had a lot of food for tailgating the next day. We were able to put everything in the fridge and did not worry about have to keep the coolers full of ice all night. Definitely staying here again anytime we need a place while visiting our daughter at MSU.
