The breakfast was a little weak. Used to be much better. Night clerk put a family with kids above me when I requested a it room. Couldn’t sleep with all the upstairs noise and banging. Room was clean. Bed comfortable. Value is decent.

Place was fine, everything was clean, staff was super nice, it is located close to Msu so that was good. Only complaints are: there's no elevator to second floor so if you're on the 2nd floor and have a lot of luggage or a wheelchair that's not ideal. Also, my room smelled off when I first went in.. like farts. I had to leave the door open for 10 Mins and turn on the air. Ac worked super good Though! I imagine for whatever reason that was just my room for some reason. It cleared out and was fine.

The room was clean, however after a shower my white towel was black after wiping up water. Every time I stay it's like that so clearly the floors are not being mopped. But other than that the beds are very comfortable and have no other complaints.
