This hotel is in a great location, right across the street from the Route 66 visitor center. It has a full indoor atrium and a lobby coffee shop. We got up and walked to some of the Route 66 signs.

Hotel is starting to show its age but overall good experience. One night folks got really loud in the atrium until 11 pm and affected our sleep in our third-floor room. Recommend asking for a room on the sixth or higher floors to avoid the noise. Location is good for accessing downtown and the adjacent university.

Nice hotel and room was clean. We've stayed here a few times now. There was a bit of a musty smell in the room and our fridge didn't work, but we were only there one night so made due without it. The kids always enjoy the lobby area and the glass elevators!

The bathroom and bedding were clean. The location is great for downtown and MSU. The front desk was cheerful. Didn’t eat onsite. The property is dated - carpet has stains. Curtains had a rip. The rooms have dim lighting and not many plugs for charging.
