This is a good value. The property is older but was overall clean and staff was friendly. Couple things that were not so great were that the day we checked in there was a strong chemical smell from the room. We had to run the AC for hours before that went away. Additionally during the night there was someone lifting heavy stuff and walking with heavy steps for many hours during the night starting around 11pm. I called the front desk multiple times and told them that is is not acceptable and that people need to sleep. They were apologetic but told me that they cannot do anything about the walking. On calling them again they said they will see what they can do and nothing changed. Finally around 1am I gave up and I had to put headphones on with white noise to go back to sleep.

I've stayed at this hotel for three days, and all three were a pleasure. The employees such as Melissa were super friendly and helpful throughout my visit. For example, there was a problem with the cable tv, so I requested maintenance to solve the issue. Melissa and another girl who I unfortunately can't recall her name came asap and fixed the problem successfully! If I knew all the employees' names who I interacted with, I'd acknowledge all of them.

This place is not disgusting; just really dirty. There are stains on the sheets, and I found more than 3 bugs in my room. I would not dare walk around anywhere without shoes. No hot water. The cable was out more than it was on and it was a HUGE hassle trying to get internet. Will not be staying again.

This is the second time I have stayed here for a horse show. The staff are always so pleasant and helpful, and the place is clean well kept. The price is right, and I will continue to use this location every time I need to come to the MSU pavilion.
