Rude person at front desk… not welcoming… no sense of accommodating or answering questions… simply doing job…no interest in being cordial… like my walking up was an imposition to make her get up off her seat in the back to walk to counter… when I asked a question curt answers… this hotel needs a facelift… worn out & not worth the money

It was a great location for visiting MSU but the room itself had damp carpet and sofa. We just avoided that area of the room as we were there only to sleep
