We called prior to the football game asking if it was ok for a late check-in, for the game didn’t start until 7pm. We were assured it would be fine, that there would be staff at the front desk 24/7. Upon arrival, we were told that the shift, prior to the current, gave our 2 queen beds to someone else, switching us to 2 twin beds. We paid upfront for 4 adults. They apologized and said they thought we only had 2 adults and the prior shift reported that they were balanced. Assuming, everyone has a bed for the hotel. The staff on hand did manage to find us a room 10 minutes away and paid for it, but it completely ruined our plans and we were extremely disappointed.

Great property & front desk, housekeeping staff. Valet parking a bit complicated, not well explained by attendant or front desk staff. Valet attendants not friendly, in their room on their phones, never offered to carry bag or open the door. They are a bad first & last impression of a pretty cool property!

Nice hotel in a great location

Stayed for one night for a meeting on MSU's campus. Ideal location and a really nice hotel. The art work is great, rooms and bathroom are modern and clean. Only downside was a 50 minute wait for my car in the morning.

Cool vibe and excellent location across from MSU campus and in the main business district. Lots of dining, social and shopping choices. Really nice roof top lounge with a decent casual menu. Parking is convenient with valet service, but pricey considering a municipal lot is within walking distance.
