Room seemed well worn, although room was clean. The price I paid for as almost 2x that of a buddy that stayed at new Hyatt property on Michigan Ave. I thought I had a good deal but obviously not

Staff were lovely, place was very clean. Only two complaints: we stayed in room 302 and the bedroom door to the living room wouldn’t close so we had to keep the door open. Also, there were four of us who stayed in the suite, two people slept on the pull out couch and the mattress was so thin you could feel the mattress springs. For a group of 2 people the place is perfect.

The room had a mini kitchen which was perfect for us since we were there for parents weekend and had a lot of food for tailgating the next day. We were able to put everything in the fridge and did not worry about have to keep the coolers full of ice all night. Definitely staying here again anytime we need a place while visiting our daughter at MSU.
