What a pleasant stay! Nice attentive staff, outstanding, well-designed and comfortable rooms. I moved from another 4+ star hotel in Lansing to The Graduate because of a previous visit. There is an outstanding rooftop bar with outdoor seating. Plus you have ample restaurants, bars, and MSU right in front of you. I highly recommend The Graduate.

We stayed here after our wedding. We were worried as we would be checking in after midnight. We tried to communicate this with the staff but some of them were very rude. Check-in did go smoothly, though. But not an exceptionally friendly atmosphere. Very nice room!
