Very quiet location, extremely comfortable, pillow-topped queen bed, recliner (!) chair, free internet, CD player in room, MP-3 player hookup on clock-radio, and very friendly and sincere staff. Loved that it was off the beaten path and QUIET -... More

Everyone here was helpful & friendly. The "suite" was small,but really clean and on the ground floor. We only brought our dog this time, but I inquired and they do take cats--$25 pet fee. You get free membership to the University Club next door,too. More

I just stayed here and the room was great. It has a full kitchen if you would be planning on staying an extended amount of time. Comfortable bed, nice towels, coffee pot,and pop corn for the microwave. Coffee is also available in the lobby area. I booked a room at Quality Suites for a Park and Fly out of the... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2012

Staff was friendly and helpful as they were students from The School of Hospitality Business at MSU. The location is somewhat removed and on the campus border which seemed to be a negative for us. The hotel is connected to the University Club which does provide good dining options but nothing is complimentary. More

Average property (facilities, bedding, amenities, etc.) but very acceptable accommodations for weekend at MSU. Student run staff, I believe- very helpful. Can walk directly to the first tee of championship golf course. Not kid friendly as far as pool facilities/activities....minimal to no access... More

The rooms are nicely appointed: full refrigerator, stove, microwave & dishwasher. Everything you'd need to stay a week and study including wired complimentary internet. The beds fit tightly - very close to the wall. Not alot of extra space. The staff was extremely friendly, fresh cookies every night. HOT TIP: the front desk has an enormous collection of movies to...

I love staying at the East Lansing Candlewood Suites. Fresh cookies on weekdays, clean and comfortable rooms and affordable suites. A big plus for me is that it is just down the road from the Livestock Pavillion and Exhibition Center at Michigan State University, which hosts a large selection of events, from the Great Lakes International Draft Horse Show to...

I stayed at this hotel four times, 12 days each time when attending classes for my Masters at MSU. Room it's OK with everything you'd need but A/C is very noisy and every time I stayed there was a pretty bad smell in the room. Housekeeping was always spraying something in the room before a new customer, like they knew... More

This was the worst hotel experience of my life. I awoke to blood on the pillows and a bed full of blood-filled bugs. My husband and I both received at least 100 bites combined and have been paranoid that we could have brought bugs home with us. My travels to places like India, Thailand and Brazil were on the cheap... More

There is no industry hit as hard as ours when it comes to reports of bed bugs. While no hotel or any other facility is immune from the possibility of being affected, our management team takes a report of this magnitude very seriously as our guests health is our number one priority. If an investigation into a report proves positive,... More
