Didn't know anything about this hotel except a few good reviews online. There weren't a lot of choices in Lansing, so this was one of a few options.

The area around the hotel looks kind of shabby. We were driving down what appeared to be an lower income main road, when all of a sudden the hotel popped up on our left. Turns out it was an old Holiday Inn, which didn't delight me at all.

The outside of the hotel looked pretty run down and I told my husband to keep the car running and I'd check the inside out before checking in. When i went in, I could tell it had been renovated, so I gave it a chance.

I asked for a renovated room (they aren't all done yet, so make sure to ask) and it was okay. It was like a bootleg Hampton Inn, in my opinion. It did have a new bed (comfy) and granite countertops. But the shower floor looked decades old, the walls looked like they had 10 coats of paint on them and the hallways were really humid. We did like the tv, the chairs (hard but at least they were new) and the shower head was nice.

I would say if you needed a clean, decent hotel room this is fine. But don't believe the raving reviews you see online.

Had to stay here because that is where Soccer Tournament placed us for the weekend. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Air conditioner was anemic and rooms were quite hot to sleep in even with the temperature being in the 50's. Breakfast was horrible!!! Sausage/bacon on the buffet that was part of our room package was not cooked, only positive for 2 days of breakfast was the fruit bowl. Pool/hot tub ok, but seemed kind of not taken care of like the rest of the hotel. Staff was ok, not overly friendly, probably would not stay there if given a choice again.

If '60's style is your thing then this is the place. Lots of open space in the lobby/meeting areas. Unfortunately, there is nobody there. We were there for four nights and never saw any other guests in the common areas. The parking lot, (which is across the street), only had a few cars in it. The restaurant was hard to find, probably since it usually looked as if it were closed. Never ate there, and never saw anyone else eating there.
Staff was OK. Rooms were good..
It was a place to sleep without disturbance.

Impeccable, is the word that describes the Causeway Bay Hotel in Holt/Lansing Michigan. My four sons and I stayed at this ‘3 star’ hotel during a recent visit to Michigan. All staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel like honored guests and as if we were the only guests at the Hotel. Believe me, it is not often you find hotel staff that is happy to see a family check in and does whatever they can to treat children as important guests as well as their parents.
Our rooms were very clean and comfortable with no amenities lacking. Our rooms were made up daily around our schedule. Every one of our requests was handled quickly, efficiently, and with eagerness. The manager expressed personal interest making our stay the best it could be.
I have stayed in many hotels, from two to five stars. This hotel is rates very high on my list in all categories, service, amenities, comfort, etc. Causeway Bay Hotel in Lansing/Holt deserves at more than the three stars listed on my travel guide. I could go on, telling of seeing the manager personally directing the housekeeping crew and checking their work.
I am recommending the Causeway Bay Hotel to all who are visiting the Lansing area, especially families. Not only is it THE hotel to stay at, but being close to the interstate, MSU, Downtown Lansing, and all points mid-Michigan are at your door step.
