It is a motel. Room cleanliness is subjective, specially the bathroom was not properly cleaned. Reason to book this is the convenience to MSU. Breakfast is also disappointing.

it’s right next to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s and has lots of food options on the same street so it’s super combiner to find food and necessities if you’re there without a rental car. also like 13mins from msu.

Arrived and the power was completely out. Had been out for nearly a day, they did not bother to warn anyone, and they would not refund my stay. DO NOT BOOK.
